Double-arm picking robots are widely used in agricultural production for their high collaborative efficiency. While picking, area planning and collision detection between the mechanical arms is a crucial challenge double-arm robot, which needs to establish collision-free path fruit picking. In this study, we developed cooperation method robotic of kiwifruit. Firstly, problem dividing was simpli...

Single auction-based methods are known to be efficient for multi-robot problem solving. In this work, we investigate performance of our general multi robot coordination framework for multi robot multi target exploration problem under uncertainties in dynamic environments. Our framework offers a real time single item allocation method featuring different mechanisms for failure recovery. In multi...

If a mobile mechanic has to travel for material, productive time is lost. This paper presents a novel method to reduce activities regarding material handling with extending of serving locations. The design of the supply system can be considered as a complex combinatorial optimization problem, where the goal is to find a route plan with minimal route cost, which services all the demands from the...

This paper proposes a novel multi-objective ant colony system (MOACS) approach to solve the cooperative task allocation problem of multi-robot systems. The is formulated as multiple traveling salesman (MTSP). objectives are minimize total and maximum cost robotic vehicles so that workload each vehicle could be balanced. time matrices salesmen different asymmetric due flight speeds executing tas...

Tasks allocation is a fundamental problem in multiagent systems. We formulate the problem as a multiple traveling salesmen problem (MTSP), which is an extension to the well known traveling salesman problem (TSP), both considered to be NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. We propose a solution in which agents interact in an economic market to win tasks situated in an environment. The age...

Free of the constraints of orbit mechanisms, weather conditions and minimum antenna area, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) equipped on near-space platform is more suitable for sustained large-scene imaging compared with the spaceborne and airborne counterparts. Terrain observation by progressive scans (TOPS), which is a novel wide-swath imaging mode and allows the beam of SAR to scan along the az...

The occurrence of natural and man-made disasters usually leads to significant social economic disruption, as well high numbers casualties. Such occurrences are difficult predict due the huge number parameters with mutual interdependencies which need be investigated provide reliable predictive capabilities. In this work, we present high-Performance Emergent Rescue Management e-System ( PERMS ), ...

Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is a potent inhibitor of tumor growth and angiogenesis. The antiangiogenic activity of TSP-1 has been mapped to the procollagen homology region and the type 1 repeats (TSR) using synthetic peptides. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms that are involved in the inhibition of tumor growth by the TSRs, we have expressed recombinant versions of these motifs and have assaye...
