The proposed solution takes the 3D feature representations of the environment much like the RGBD-SLAM system but instead of creating a voxel map, it creates a grid map taking elements from the RatSLAM system. The resulting integration of SLAM methods eliminates the need for a continuous stream of images as required in RGBD-SLAM and thus overcomes the problem of ambiguous data normally generated by featureless surface such as repeating wall patterns. The proposed solution is implemented on a Pioneer 3-DX mobile robot using Kinect sensor. The results show that the proposed method can successfully conduct SLAM in an efficient manner.","PeriodicalId":125468,"journal":{"name":"2016 23rd International Conference on Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice (M2VIP)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129202929","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 time-domain vibration signals of rolling bearings with different fault conditions are preprocessed using differential evolution method, then further being trained by Levenberg Marquardt method. The processed data are applied as input vectors to artificial neural networks (ANNs) for rolling bearing fault classification. The hybrid training method overcomes the defects of network training, for example lower convergence speed of evolutionary artificial neural network and easiness of falling into local minimum. And it also has the advantages of quick convergence speed and good global continuous optimization ability. In addition, probabilistic adaptive strategy which could save computation time in various situations is adopted. The proposed method is applied to the rolling bearings faults diagnosis, and compared with other training methods. The results for both real and simulated bearing vibration data show that, high correct classification rate were obtained through LM, and the presented method demonstrated rapid convergence and good stability than traditional method such as LM and other methods. The probabilistic adaptive strategy improved the convergence rate and obtained higher correct rate.","PeriodicalId":125468,"journal":{"name":"2016 23rd International Conference on Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice (M2VIP)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116235785","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}

On the basis of which, a new singular point detection method based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is proposed and applied to mechanical parameters' calculation. Displacement signals are collected by on-line monitoring system firstly. Then, EEMD is adopted to decompose displacement signal into several intrinsic mode functions (IMF) which can eliminate interference. Afterwards, singular point is extracted which is regarded as the closing moment. Finally, mechanical parameters can be calculated. This method has been applied to analyze and process displacement signals of HV-VCB which type is VMB5–12. The calculation results of the experiments are much more precise.

Whilst there are many methods of electronically capturing this interaction (through electronic pressure sensor arrays) there are limited methods of interfacing this data with the human brain. So-matotopical approaches do exist, however these are typically very invasive, and rely on access to the nerve. As an alternative approach, this paper investigates sensory substitution, whereby the user's sense of sound is exploited as a feedback interface between the sensors and the brain. A study, consisting of 8 participants, and a randomized trial method, is used to determine the perceptual latency and range sensitivity across a series of modulation techniques including frequency, volume, and beating. Two of these were used simultaneously to determine if two degrees of freedom were able to be comprehended simultaneously. It is found that multi-channel audio feedback is suitable for low bandwidth feedback applications so long as it can deal with latency of at least 600 ms. The capability of this interface has been captured in terms of time delay, learning curve, task correlation, and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":125468,"journal":{"name":"2016 23rd International Conference on Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice (M2VIP)","volume":"245 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123097273","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}

A mechanical model for the interaction between the gripper and the uplifts on rough walls is also established to analyze the critical state of force balance of the gripper. In addition, MATLAB is used in a simulation, and an experimental prototype is designed to test the grasp stability of the gripper. Simulation and experiment results indicate that the gripper can adequately achieve grasping adsorption on a rough concrete wall.
