In this paper, a novel methodology for estimating the parameters of robotic manipulator systems is proposed. It can be seen that, purpose parameter estimation, input torque to each joint motor designed as linear combination sinusoids. After transient responses angles exponentially converge zero, steady states angle outputs extracted. Since are equivalent finite Fourier series, coefficients stat...

Robotic systems have been increasingly adopted in several sectors of the society. To cope with this demand and diversity, researchers have investigated the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to develop such systems. SOA promotes interoperability between software modules and heterogeneous hardware devices, and a better reusability and flexibility for robotic systems. However, due to the lack of...

In the recent years, improvements in robotic hardware have not been matched by advancements in robotic software and the gap between those two areas has been widening. To cope with the increasing complexity of novel robotic embedded systems an integrated and continuous software development process is required supporting different development activities and stages being integrated into an overall...

The object of the research is the adaptive algorithms that are used by the operator when educating the robotic systems. Operator, being the target-setting subject, is interested in the goal that robotic systems, being the conductor of his targets (criteria), would provide a maximum effectiveness of these targets’ (criteria’s) achievement. Thus, the adaptive algorithms provide the adequate refle...

Many frameworks and packages exist for the development of robotic surgical systems. An important aspect of such packages involves the communication interfaces between various robotic devices. This paper discusses one such framework, the Surgical Assistant Workstation (SAW) developed at the Johns Hopkins University. SAW is a component-based framework, providing interfaces for the hardware and so...

Robots play such remarkable roles in humans’ modern lives that performing many tasks without them isimpossible. Using robotic systems is gradually increasing the tasks allocated to them and they are becomingmore complex and critical. Software reliability is one of the most significant requirements of robots. Forenhancing reliability, systems should be inherently designed to be tolerable of soft...

The ARTEMIS-project R3-COP aims at providing European industry with methodologies and technologies to enable production of advanced robust and safe cognitive, reasoning autonomous and co-operative robotic systems at reduced cost. Three major topics are addressed: advanced robotic capabilities, methodologies for design and development of robotic systems, and new V&V technologies for robotic feat...
