In the VR system, geometric designs can be more effectively input into the computer in a physically intuitive way (using voice, hand motions, and gestures-just as a person would communicate ideas to another person). Although the dimensions inputted may be imprecise, this approach is useful for concept shape generation since at this stage dimensions need not be exact. The paper focuses on determining the requirements for the multimodal user interface and assessing the applications of different input and output mechanisms in the virtual environment (VE). Based on the results of these investigations, a VR-based computer-aided design (CAD) system for the conceptual shape design will be implemented in the current research. Once designers use the system that we are developing, the interface requirements determined in the current paper may be verified or refined. The objectives of the research are to expand the frontiers of product design and establish a new paradigm for the VR-based conceptual shape design system.","PeriodicalId":225473,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Conference on Robotics and Automation","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123286519","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 discrete set of cells, each comprising two actuators, are fixed in a planar array. By coordinating the actuators in the cells on which an object rests, an object can be transported and manipulated. In essence, this system is an improvement over traditional conveyor systems in that objects can be re-oriented, as well as conveyed. Such an array provides flexible materials handling in which many objects independently can be manipulated and transported at the same time. The array is coordinated in a distributed manner where each cell has its own controller and each controller communicates with its neighbors. Towards the goal of motion planning, in this paper we consider the dynamics of parcel transport and manipulation. The parcel dynamics are based on an exact discrete representation of the system, unlike other methods where a continuity assumption is made. Two types of contact models are considered.","PeriodicalId":225473,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Conference on Robotics and Automation","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126202756","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}

Through range-measuring a plane of unknown position and orientation, the mounting parameters of the range finders and the coordinates of the world planes are estimated. Systematic measurement errors can also be calibrated at the same time. The approach is fully autonomous, in that no initial guesses of the unknown parameters are to be provided from the outside by humans for the solution of a set of nonlinear equations. In fact, the initial values are all found in closed forms by the algorithm itself. Sufficient conditions for a unique solution are derived in terms of controlled motion sequences. Experimental results in both a simulated and a real environments are reported.","PeriodicalId":225473,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Conference on Robotics and Automation","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121301898","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}

This micro pump consists of two one-way valves that make use of the same ICPF actuator. The overall size of this micro pump prototype is 12 mm in diameter and 20 mm in length. The actuating mechanism is as follows. (1) The ICPF actuator as the diaphragm is bent into the anode side by application of electricity. Then the volume of the pump chamber increases, resulting in the inflow of liquid from the inlet to the chamber. (2) By changing the current direction, the volume of the pump chamber decreases, resulting in liquid flow from the chamber to the outlet. (3) The ICPF actuator is put on a sine voltage, the micro pump provides liquid flow from the inlet to the outlet. The characteristics of the micro pump are measured. The experimental results indicate that the micro pump has satisfactory responses.","PeriodicalId":225473,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Conference on Robotics and Automation","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121307198","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 that paper, an analytical framework for the problem, and a methodology able to provide accurate performance estimates were developed, but it was also observed that the computational complexity of the approach rendered it inapplicable to most practical situations. Here, we propose an approximating scheme for the performance evaluation of the structurally controlled FMS, which presents polynomial computational complexity, and therefore, is applicable to real-life FMSs. Initial experimentation with the approach indicates that it holds considerable promise for effective evaluation of the production capacity of these systems.","PeriodicalId":225473,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Conference on Robotics and Automation","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126803200","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 misrecognition of landmark causes the robot to mislocate itself. When this happens, the robot is unable to perform its primary objective. In order to solve this kind of problem, we have proposed a hierarchical control architecture \"HALAS\" (hierarchical adaptive and learning architecture system). This consists of some modules which are arranged hierarchically and each module means a single function of this robot. When one module fails in its aim, the upper module detects the error and recovers from it using other useful information from its knowledge data base. We show experimentally that the robot gets a higher reliability in autonomous mobility because the map correspondence module finds the error which has been caused by an anemo perception module (landmark recognition module) and it corrects the error utilizing its map information.","PeriodicalId":225473,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Conference on Robotics and Automation","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123807083","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}
