We aim to enable manual wheelchair users to establish an independent life that they can lead without assistance. This mechanism is simpler because it uses the capabilities of the wheelchair user. Each unit comprises two actuators and has two degrees of freedom: telescopic motion and rotational motion. We primarily discuss a strategy that enables wheelchair users to climb stairs comprising multiple steps. We additionally use a pair of portable slopes to achieve this task. Results of experiments where users traveled on a pair of slopes that covered a height of 30 cm over two steps confirm the effectiveness of the design.","PeriodicalId":198633,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR)","volume":"16 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134504680","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}

They serve as the fundamental knowledge for robotic applications in unknown environments. Nowadays, more and more robotic applications require semantic information in visual maps to achieve better performance. However, most of the current Visual SLAM systems are not equipped with the semantic annotation capability. In order to address this problem, we develop a novel system to build 3-D Visual maps annotated with semantic information in this paper. We employ the CRF-RNN algorithm for semantic segmentation, and integrate the semantic algorithm with ORB-SLAM to achieve the semantic mapping. In order to get real-scale 3-D visual maps, we use the RGB-D data as the input of our system. We test our semantic mapping system with our self-generated RGB-D dataset. The experimental results demonstrate that our system is able to reliably annotate the semantic information in the resulting 3-D point-cloud maps.","PeriodicalId":198633,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116194865","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}

However, limited research has been done on analyzing which module morphology is able to create better robots for a given task. To address this issue, this paper investigates how the number and position of available connection faces in a module influence the evolvability of the modular robot. In contrast to previous research on modular robots, an analysis of the morphology of the module is done in order to improve and simplify its mechanical design. To this end, we designed a homogeneous module called EMeRGE, and defined the number of connection faces and their relative positions as morphological parameters. Afterwards, we evolved the morphology and control of robots composed of EMeRGE modules in a robotic simulation platform. Simulation results indicate that robots containing modules with only two available connection faces were able to acquire better performance than robots that contained modules using more connection faces for a locomotion task. Finally, the simulated robots were transferred to the real world in the actual modular robot to verify the simulation results.","PeriodicalId":198633,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132275940","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 proposed flocking algorithm, agents modify their behavior parameters dynamically based on the size of their neighborhoods.

Recently, origami has been applied to the design of foldable robot structure. There are various folding techniques including the one we studied — Miura-ori. We designed a Miura-ori of non-zero thickness that 1) was made from rigid materials (rigid origami), and 2) contained self-similar units (modular origami). Our design has a maximum thickness of 6 mm, but can be folded up to 180° (complete fold)—equivalent to a zero-thickness origami. In this paper, we presented a novel design of rigid, foldable, modular origami, as well as derived constraints of joint design that enable a complete fold. Moreover, neodymium magnets were placed in the cores of each rotational axis in certain patterns. This not only allows for the structure to have characteristics of self-folding or self-unfolding, but also gives us the ability to control this robot structure using a current-induced magnetic field. When the magnetic field is on, the robot can switch from an unfolding position to a folding position. Such feature presents a potential for this structure to be used as a dynamic “spring” with an adjustable stiffness. This adjustability could be achieved by varying the input current applied to generate the magnetic field. Another application of this mechanism includes reducing shocks, and vibrations that are perpendicular to the structure.","PeriodicalId":198633,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123489923","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}

Active perception is defined as the recognition using categories based on robot's behaviors. The behavior for extracting the object feature is called an exploratory behavior. Several models which acquire exploratory behaviors by learning have been proposed. In the past, we also have proposed a model that is able to learn suitable exploratory behaviors by a reinforcement learning. However, these previous models need the information of the label to which the objects belong during learning. Then, it is difficult to apply these models to acquisition of the category of an unknown object. In this paper, we improve the model that we proposed previously. We develop the model that is able to learn exploratory behaviors without the object's label. Mobile robot simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the model. The results indicated that the model can not only acquire the exploratory behavior but also form the categories of the object's features.","PeriodicalId":198633,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129293915","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 theater play is controlled by a multi-agent system; a director agent synchronizes several robotic actors to perform a theater script. The architectural decisions of the actor agent are based on the BDI model which includes an emotional module that influences the way the agent performs actions. A centralized multi-agent protocol controls the simultaneous motion of several robotic actors. Furthermore, each actor agent has an intermediary module, called SOCA, connecting it with its sensor and action modules. The SOCA module makes flexible and transparent the communication and serves as coordinator and synchronizer; the aim is to make easier to modify the robot physical and logical configuration as required by an actor that must change accordingly to the represented character. A robotic prototype was implemented to validate this architecture and the communication scheme. It includes four modules: processing, mobility, audiovisual and manipulation. The basic experimental results show that the robot actor is well suited to perform drama scripts in educational contexts.","PeriodicalId":198633,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115110959","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}
