Abstract
The paper describes the trends in the development of sensor systems in the area of robotics. Presented are contact sensors with special emphasis on “skin” sensors for a robot's hand on the basis of piezo-electric materials, such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVF2). Among the methods of non-contact sensor perception, vision systems are considered to be most appropriate for robots. Described are industrial vision systems, image processing operations and image recognition. Reference is also made to proximity sensors. The paper further describes robot control systems utilizing sensory information and utilization of artificial intelligence theory in robotics.
期刊介绍:
Robotics publishes original papers, technical reports, case studies, review papers and tutorials in all the aspects of robotics. Special Issues devoted to important topics in advanced robotics will be published from time to time. It particularly welcomes those emerging methodologies and techniques which bridge theoretical studies and applications and have significant potential for real-world applications. It provides a forum for information exchange between professionals, academicians and engineers who are working in the area of robotics, helping them to disseminate research findings and to learn from each other’s work. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to: -intelligent robotics, mechatronics, and biomimetics -novel and biologically-inspired robotics -modelling, identification and control of robotic systems -biomedical, rehabilitation and surgical robotics -exoskeletons, prosthetics and artificial organs -AI, neural networks and fuzzy logic in robotics -multimodality human-machine interaction -wireless sensor networks for robot navigation -multi-sensor data fusion and SLAM
