This paper describes robotstadium: an online simulation contest based on the new RoboCup Nao Standard League. The simulation features two teams with four Nao robots each team, a ball and a soccer field corresponding the specifications of the real setup used for the new RoboCup Standard League using the Nao robot. Participation to the contest is free of charge and open to anyone. Competitors can...

in this paper robust pid control of fully-constrained cable driven parallel manipulators with elastic cables is studied in detail. in dynamic analysis, it is assumed that the dominant dynamics of cable can be approximated by linear axial spring. to develop the idea of control for cable robots with elastic cables, a robust pid control for cable driven robots with ideal rigid cables is firstly de...

organized the rst of a series of on-line workshops, entirely held on the World Wide Web. The advertised advantages of the on-line format were to allow fruitful exchanges while avoiding physical travels , and to guarantee a wide visibility of the discussion. The rst two workshops in the series were devoted to evolutionary computation; they can be accessed on the web at The third workshop, named ...

The use of robots has dramatically expanded the potential of e-services. Intelligent robotic systems have been extensively used in a variety of different ways, both in industry and domestic life. In recent years, several researchers have been using the Internet as a command transmission medium to control intelligent robots and obtain feedback signals. This kind of system limits users to issue o...

ETRI Journal, Volume 27, Number 6, December 2005 In recent years, motivated by the emergence of ubiquitous computing technologies, a new class of networked robots, ubiquitous robots, has been introduced. The Ubiquitous Robotic Companion (URC) is our conceptual vision of ubiquitous service robots that provide users with the services they need, anytime and anywhere in ubiquitous computing environ...

RoboEarth aims at providing a distributed cloudbased web platform from robots for robots that is publicly accessible and enables robots to autonomously share knowledge among each other and to generate new knowledge from previously stored data. As a result robots don’t have to gain the same knowledge over and over again, but can build upon it right from the start. Currently, shareable data are a...

In this article, new techniques and technologies have been tried and tested in the installation and commissioning of Roller Home industrial robots, in order to produce a Tiba car with a focus on cost reduction. Due to the fact that press equipment for automobile parts requires a lot of expenses, it was decided to use robots with the same function of roller to reduce costs and increase the q...

This paper presents a delay compensator fuzzy control for trajectory tracking of omni-directional mobile robots. Fuzzy logic control (FLC) of the robots is a suitable strategy for dealing with model uncertainties, nonlinearities and disturbances.  On the other hand, in many robotic applications such as mobile robots, delay phenomenon is able to substantially deteriorate the behavior of system's...
