Air Pollution: A Case Study of Ilorin and Lagos Outdoor Air.
This chapter has mainly focused on the problem of cooperative hunting by multiple mobile robots in unknown environments. Because the positions of the robots are not exchanged among them in order to reduce the communication burden, it is hard for each robot to make a global decis…
A novel parallel engraving machine is proposed and its some key technologies are studied in this paper. Based on the confirming of mechanism type, a group of mechanisms are obtained by changing the sizes of engraving machine. Performance indices are analyzed by considering both …
The simulation with multi-agent controller, presented in Fig. 11, proves the validity of this approach for minimizing contacts into the ducts, furthermore it can be extended to the case where the ducts are not rigid but elastically, or visco-elastically deformable, as in reality…
Exploiting computer vision for performing robotic tasks, like recognizing a given place in the environment or simply computing the relative orientation of the robot with respect to the environment, requires an in depth analysis of the vision modules involved in such computations…
It has been considered that an important issue of this research work relies on the regarding of this modality for people conduction. A given contribution has been the methodology for conduction, its strategy for accomplishing the task-goal and the implementation of the system it…
In this paper we presented an overview about modern visualization approaches in the field of telerobotics and interactive robotics simulation. We have made a comparison presenting the advantages and disadvantages between the (binocular) anaglyph and the (monocular) motion stereo…
Coevolution Based Adaptive Monte Carlo Localization
by Luo Ronghua, Hong Bingrong, Li Maohai
An adaptive localization algorithm CEAMCL is proposed in this paper. Using an ecological competition model, CEAMCL can adaptively adjust the sample size according to the total environment resource, which represents uncertainty of the position of the robot. Coevolution between sp…
In this article we have shown how to pose estimate the human arm using monocular computer vision. The hypothesis behind our approach is that the fewer possible solutions and the better the search through these, the higher the likelihood of finding the correct pose in a particula…
The experimental tests have presented the validation of estimated parameters with the experiment data from [Ngemoh97] to validate. The test results has shown that the estimated parameters can be identified up-to four parameters for this experimental tests.
Experiments were carried out to prove the effectiveness of the proposed dynamic weighted voting technique. The experiments were carried on fourteen experimental fields with four different behaviour combinations. The results and comparison of the different experiments wee discuss…
In this work a Cartesian impedance controller for flexible joint robots was proposed. The control approach was based on the stability theory for cascaded systems. In the proposed controller an inner torque feedback loop decouples the torque dynamics from the rigid body dynamics.…
As the sensorial capacity of the robots increases, for example with the availability of MEMS sensors, it will be a requisite for good real-time performance to wisely select and manage them, in order to fulfill the strong time requirements of machines moving in human environments…
