The 4WS4WD possesses the benefits of the 4WD structure and the advantages of a 4WS system, and has the better performance of lateral dynamics in comparison with traditional mobile robots. By handling the 4WS4WD mobile robot, the motion control, obstacle avoidance and control strategy are addressed in this paper. The robotic maneuver control for 4WS4WD mobile robot is firstly investigated. For obstacle avoidance, the dynamic window approach (DWA) is used to safely control the mobile robot. The A* algorithm is adopted to implement the path planning and mobile robot navigation system. The experimental results demonstrate that the realized mobile robot can successfully conquer many kinds of terrains and carry out all the tasks in the SKS Intelligent Security Robot Competition held in Taipei International Robot Show (TIROS).","PeriodicalId":124317,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on System Science and Engineering (ICSSE)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121829453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The positions of obstacles can be recognized by using medium filter, morphologic processing, canny edge detection, and connected component labeling. And this paper utilizes Parallel Lines Distance Measurement (PLDM) to detect the real world coordinates of obstacles. Because it only needs a single webcam and several laser points for the setting of PLDM, it is easier to set up the experimental environment and the cost for setting is relatively cheaper. At last, we combine image detection method with PLDM to complete the path-planning system of a wheeled mobile robot. Then the path-planning can be shown on the two-dimensional map immediately. Our simulation results, presented at the end of this paper, show that the proposed image detection method is effective in the path-planning system of a wheeled mobile robot.","PeriodicalId":124317,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on System Science and Engineering (ICSSE)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129288128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are many variants of the ICP algorithm, proposing methods to minimize the sum of Euclidean distances between two clouds of scanning points for map building of an unknown environment by a mobile robot. Considering simplicity and computational efficiency, this paper proposes an enhanced-ICP incorporating a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to effectively filter out outliers and avoid the false matching points during the map building process. Experimental results showed that, the proposed PSO-tuned enhanced-ICP can effectively reduce the accumulated errors to improve the map building accuracy by circumventing the problems of local optimal solutions resulted from the outliers and false matching points during the map building process.","PeriodicalId":124317,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on System Science and Engineering (ICSSE)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125747439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The performance of RNN classifier was benchmarked against the performance of BPNN since RNN was built using Backpropagation. The RNN classifier had higher classification accuracy than BPNN and SVM when trained using PCA and RS reduct dataset. RNN had a lower training time than BPNN and SVM when trained using RS and GR++ reduct dataset. PCA reducts dataset increased the classification accuracy of the BPNN, RNN and SVM classifiers, while RS reducts dataset only increased the classification accuracy of RNN classifiers.

Manual analysis of such systems can miss potential paths of energy flow and this process becomes increasingly difficult when the concept of defence in depth is incorporated into the design. Utilising the process algebra Communicating Sequential Processes allows component specifications and system level safety specifications to be formalised. Model checking techniques can then be applied to ensure the design of each component meets their individual specifications and that when composed together achieve the required system level behaviour, demonstrating both system level safety and meeting the requirements of defence in depth. We present validation of the technique through the use of a small example representative of the systems of interest we are analysing. The approach is then demonstrated to identify potential problems in this example through various scenarios.","PeriodicalId":124317,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on System Science and Engineering (ICSSE)","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133117327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
