We present a system for model-free, adaptive object tracking with a redundant anthropomorphic robot head. The visual tracking system is based on the idea of “Democratic Integration” to fuse information from several cues in a biologically plausible, self-organized fashion. The motor control system utilizes the idea of “controller partitioning” to exploit complementary capabilities of redundant d...

this paper deals with a globally convergent adaptive and sliding mode control of a cart-pole inverted pendulum for trajectory tracking in the presence of a bounded measurement noise and parameter uncertainty. two kinds of controllers have been used for evaluation of tracking error in presence of a bounded noise; as a result, we want to compare that at what time we can see the convergence of tra...

In cruise control systems, the performance of the controller is important. Hence, in order to have accurate results, the nonlinear behavior of a vehicle model should also be considered. In this article, a vehicle with a nonlinear model is controlled by using a nonlinear method. The nonlinear term of the model is the generated torque of engine, which is a polynomial equation. In addition, feedba...

Safety and security are top concerns in maritime navigation, particularly as maritime traffic continues to grow and as crew sizes are reduced. The Automatic Identification System (AIS) plays a key role in regard to these concerns. This system, whose objective is in part to identify and locate vessels, transmits location-related information from vessels to ground stations that are part of a so-c...

Virtual Reality, Interaktion und stereoskopische Projektion sind die Bereiche des VRLab der Hochschule Reutlingen. Diese werden in mehreren Teilprojekten bearbeitet, von denen hier die „Remote Control“, das „Low-cost Tracking System“ und das „3D-Modellhandbuch“ vorgestellt werden.
