An advanced robot navigation system based on GPS/INS is modeled in this paper. According to the model, the causes of the errors in measurement equation are analyzed, concluding that HDOP (Horizontal Dilution of Precision) and VDOP (Vertical Dilution of Precision) provided by GPS receiver are the crucial factors for the change of measurement noise in the mathematical model. Based on the above conclusion, this paper proposes a novel second order fuzzy self-adaptive filter design. Choosing the differences of location and velocity information provided by GPS receiver and INS device as the inputs, this filter modifies the regulation factor based on the residual sequence statistical information and PDOP (Position Dilution of Precision) provided by GPS receiver to correct the outputs of INS device using fuzzy logic. The experimental results demonstrate that the improved adaptive Kalman filtering algorithm proposed in this paper has a strong adaptability to time-varying measurement noises, which improves precision of the advanced robot navigation.","PeriodicalId":317730,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123990171","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}

Jumping locomotion is useful for ground robots as jumping provide high speed movement with enhanced energy efficiency. It also helps in overcoming obstacles relatively larger than their body sizes.

In this paper, a method of jumping by using a four-bar spring/linkage mechanism integrated with spool winding and ratchet release mechanism has been presented.

The monitoring data acquired by the sensors on the pumps could be real-time collected by the multifunctional monitor in the equipment layer and sent to the monitoring layer, finally the various monitoring parameters could be real-time displayed and stored in database in the monitoring layer developed based on the configuration platform on the upper computer. The system will real-time alarm when the operation condition of pumps is abnormal, therefore various sudden accidents could be avoided.

This is a fundamental step in the implementing of autonomous stair climbing navigation, as well as the implementing of passive alarm systems intended for the blind and visually impaired. This method analyzes the edges of a stairway based on planar motion tracking and directional filters. The horizontal edges of the stairs are extracted by using the Gabor Filter. Then, the vanishing point is extracted from the specified set of line segments in the aim of facilitating the reconstruction of the stair treads. After this stage, we extract a hypothetical set of targets by using the correlation method. Finally, we employ the discrimination method to find the ground plane, using the behavioral distance measurement. Consequently, the remaining information is considered as an indoor stairway candidate region. As a result, testing is able to prove its effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":317730,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128385607","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}

Although chatter stability and monitoring techniques are broadly studied in literature, the deployment of process monitoring system in the shop floor still presents a challenge. In this paper, we have constructed an online prototype system for industrial applications including two independent modules of chatter stability prediction and monitoring cooperatively. Turning processes are considered. Firstly, the stability charts are evaluated analytically by the application of the Laplace transform. The charts obtained can assist the operators in choosing appropriate cutting parameters before machining. Secondly, the characteristics of chatter are extracted in the time and frequency domains. The norm of chatter arising is formulated in accordance with the variance and spectrum of vibration signals. The corresponding threshold is confirmed relatively in comparison with the characteristics of stable cutting states recorded in the reference database. Thirdly, the algorithms and modules introduced are implemented with the combination of the advantages of MATLAB and C# programming, in which delay strategy and overlap processing can improve the accuracy and performance of the system. Finally, the effectiveness of the techniques and system presented here was verified by experimental results of the industrial machining trials.","PeriodicalId":317730,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130579697","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}
