The level terrain is classified into three classes, horizontal, inclined and vertical terrain. Kinematics algorithms for modelling and simulating the robot locomotion on these three terrain classes are presented. The walking stable wave and the wall climbing gaits are simulated in 3-D graphics.","PeriodicalId":161975,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116978847","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}

Input data to the system is the geometric model produced by a CAD system. Using the picture of the part, the user can select the surface elements to be inspected. He or she has to provide the tolerance data as additional information. First the workpiece setup is decided: the position, orientation, and accessibility of the part is determined. Next the system automatically generates an optimal distribution of the measuring points for the surfaces to be inspected and the local probe path. Probe clusters are built together on an interactive way using a set of building blocks. A time optimal sequence of the inspection operations is computed using heuristic algorithms. At this stage all information needed for the CMM program is available and will be combined in a device independent DMIS format, which in turn can be converted into equipment specific programs.","PeriodicalId":161975,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122486687","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}

Since the reliability of the electromechanical products cannot be calculated with the reliability functions relating to series of systems, under the nominal testing conditions, certain accelerated testing methods are useful.

This prediction method is found on a pattern recognition technique based on the conformity of the reliability parameters of the critical system components.","PeriodicalId":161975,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126728569","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 fuzzy logic controlled genetic algorithm (FLC-GA) is proposed where operator selection and parameter adjustment is carried out dynamically and automatically.

This decides, using feedback from the genetic algorithm, what control action to take and when to take it, providing optimal solutions within reasonable time limitations.","PeriodicalId":161975,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131637231","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}
