We first introduce the advantages of a catadioptric stereovision sensor for autonomous navigation and how we have designed it with respect to the Single Viewpoint constraint. For applications such as path generation, the robot needs a metric reconstruction of its environment, so calibration of the sensor is required. After justification of the chosen model, a calibration method to obtain the model parameters and the relative pose of the two catadioptric sensors is presented. Knowledge of all the sensor parameters yields the 3D metric reconstruction of the environment by triangulation. Tools for calibration and relative pose estimation are presented and are available on the authorpsilas Web page. The entire process has been evaluated using real data.","PeriodicalId":331909,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Workshop on Robotic and Sensors Environments","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121677748","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, when the member robots are not equipped with sensors to identify their locations or bearings, they can use only a function in the wireless communication protocol to network them as a tool to generate a set of common coordinates among them. This paper outlines a set of common coordinates and a heading direction generation method for a wirelessly networked robot swarm with RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator, namely, received power) measured through wireless communications and shows experimental results on the location and heading direction estimation errors in indoor and outdoor environments.","PeriodicalId":331909,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Workshop on Robotic and Sensors Environments","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121887002","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 trivial example of any such task is manipulation, i.e., providing a robot the means of handling objects. In this work, we discuss the chances and the problems experienced when using a time-of-flight camera as the only measurement device of an object recognizer. The localization is based on the best-fit of the geometric primitives within the objects considered (such as planes, cylinders, cones, or spheres). Such shapes are of special interest not only in recognition but also in grasp planning. We use a time-of-flight camera SwissRanger SR-3000 and localize a selected set of objects in order to grasp them with a dexterous robotic hand.","PeriodicalId":331909,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Workshop on Robotic and Sensors Environments","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134540591","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, pneumatic systems have disadvantages that include strong non-linearity and low natural frequency. These drawbacks make it difficult to obtain satisfactory control performances in comparison to hydraulic systems. In this paper, the fundamental characteristics and nonlinear control strategy of the pneumatic system is studied. The two-layer sliding mode synchro system with feedback linearization based on friction compensation is applied to electro-pneumatic synchro position system. To verify the used strategies, experiments with the synchro system are performed. The experimental results show that the new designed controller is effective for both accuracy and robustness.","PeriodicalId":331909,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Workshop on Robotic and Sensors Environments","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130178465","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}
