Two algorithms are presented to accomplish the laser scan matching using normal distribution transform. Firstly, an algorithm is proposed to collect and store the laser scan data obtained from the robot scan. The second algorithm is to perform scan matching and map building. Using the data of good scan matches, a neural network is trained and tested. The experimental work is carried out on the Turtlebot robot model in Gazebo simulator using MATLAB software.","PeriodicalId":126087,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 12th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126387597","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}

In the 21st century, when the industry and society are infused with IT one would reason the more the better, because there cannot possibly be anyone to detest, or stand up against automatization and IT. However, it is not so. Not only the elderly people, who were born before the 2nd world war, but even GenZ people can be afraid of the speed and scope of ICT and modern technology taking over territories of their lives [1]. Of course, there is a substantial part of people who are eagerly looking forward the future fully automatized, and there are others, who simply don't care. But there is a significant group of people, who are not prepared for automatization, who simply do not trust robots and autonomous systems in their lives. Present paper endeavours to approach the notion of ICT readiness from the social, psychological point of view, utilising the framework of the principal-agent theory.","PeriodicalId":126087,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 12th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132036112","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 native resolution of thermal cameras is significantly lower than of cameras operating within the visible light spectrum. Conventional methods, which are capable of producing large, so-called orthophotos from several pictures, cannot be applied for thermal images. However, if specific requirements are met, it is possible to produce an orthophoto from overlapping thermal image mosaics, which contains a larger area. The advantage of the thermal orthophoto is that it displays thermal radiation within the spectrum 7–14 μm, that is invisible to the naked eye, in such manner that the area deemed interesting can be substantially enlarged and distance and area calculation can be conducted on the picture. The developed procedure can be automatized, in this way, this means a process difficulty nearly identical to the creation of orthophotos within the visible light range. During the experiments, an extremely low-resolution (160 * 120 pixel), 35 Megapixel thermal image was created using the data of the thermal sensor, which met other requirements for the orthophoto.","PeriodicalId":126087,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 12th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133273751","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 major drawback of the CAPL application and programming language is the absence of a signal datatype, CAPL functions being called with the signal's name from the database. If two similar software should be tested with minor changes in terms of signals names, the same test cannot run on both units, even if their functionality is the same. Also, if only one software is tested, but the client wants changes to the database, all tests must be modified to make the desired change. The solution presented in this paper removes all these problems. Using a file containing the generic name of the signals, functions will be generated to replace the CANoe functions provided by CAPL. Thus, significant benefits are gained in terms of final product cost and development time, reducing the risk of not testing the software altogether.","PeriodicalId":126087,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 12th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130921728","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}

To design the proposed control solutions, the least-squares identification leads to the parameters of the transfer functions of the simplified models of V3TS. The CSs consist of several SISO control loops with separately tuned I, PI and PID controllers and adaptive PI controller. The Modulus Optimum method is applied to initially tune the parameters of the controllers.
