As an important means of fire prevention, risk detection and early warning can timely alarm in the stage spread, strive for golden time extinguishing personnel, have value reducing loss life property caused by fire. Nowadays, technology has developed to robot. With flexibility intelligence robot, accuracy will be further improved, probability false reduced, so as promote improvement safety mana...

A hexapod robot is a robot that has six legs to walk or move. It is well known that a robot can be statically stable on three or more legs. Since a hexapod robot has several legs, it has a great deal of flexibility in how it can move. If some legs become disabled, the robot may still be able to walk. Furthermore, not all of the robot’s legs are needed for stability; other legs are free to reach...

We have attempted to realize a dancing humanoid robot which can imitate dance performances by a human. It is impossible to realize a performance including leg actions on a robot by direct conversion of motion data captured from a dancer. Constrains of robot legs and the dynamic balance must be considered. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a framework based on primitives of leg actions....

This paper studies the performance of integer and fractional order controllers in a hexapod robot with joints at the legs having viscous friction and flexibility. For that objective the robot prescribed motion is characterized in terms of several locomotion variables. The walking performance is analysed through the Nyquist stability criterion and several indices that reflect the system dynamica...

The paper describes the design of an offline path correction system for industrial robots using laser stripe sensors. Our approach offers high flexibility because of the systems ability to self-calibrate and a high speed measurement because of the usage of approximate positioning of the robot. The paper further reviews the advantages and disadvantages of online and offline path correction syste...

The complexity of advanced robot vision systems calls for an architectural framework with great flexibility with regards to sensory, hardware, processing, and communications requirements. We are currently developing a system that uses time-of-flight and a regular video stream for mobile robot vision applications. We present an architectural framework based on YARP, and evaluate its efficiency. ...

As mankind steps into the 21st century, the exploration of the ocean also enters a new phase. In the recent decades, the research on biomimetic robot fish has attracted scientific communities’ attention increasingly. With its character of high flexibility and intelligence, biomimetic robot fish have become one of the research focuses in the field of underwater robots in recent years. This paper...

In this paper a dynamic task allocation and controller design methodology for cooperative robot teams is presented. Fuzzy logic based utility functions are derived to quantify each robot’s ability to perform a task. These utility functions are used to allocate tasks in real-time through a limited lookahead control methodology partially based on the basic principles of discrete event supervisory...

Robotic commands in natural language usually contain lots of spatial descriptions which are semantically similar but syntactically different. Mapping such syntactic variants into semantic concepts that can be understood by robots is challenging due to the high flexibility of natural language expressions. To tackle this problem, we collect robotic commands for navigation and manipulation tasks u...
