The locating system estimates location and direction of the vehicle on the basis of the observa- tion of signposts and revolution counts of main wheels. The Kalman filter is employed to estimate the loca- tion and direction of the vehicle on real time base, and smooth and accurate estimation is realized. The ex- perimental result shows that the accurate location and direction of the vehicle is obtained through the system.","PeriodicalId":332317,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

ACTRESS is an autonomous and distributed robot system composed of multi robotic elements. Each element is provided with functions to make decisions with understanding the target of tasks, recognizing surrounding environments, acting, and managing its own conditions, and to communicate with any other components. In order to manage multiple elements to achieve any given task targets, the protocol for communication between elements is discussed for cooperative action between arbitrary elements. This paper deals with the conceptual design of ACTRESS, focusing on the methodology for synthesizing the autonomous and distributed system. Also based on an assumption that mobility is the indispensable function for advanced robot systems, an experimental system using micro mouse\"'^ is developed as a primitive example of ACTRESS.","PeriodicalId":332317,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Therefore, the on-line detection of obstacles in the workspace from sensor information, testing for potential collisions of the robot with obstacles, and possible on-line modifications of the planned trajectory are necessary. This paper describes a method that uses computer vision to detect a moving obstacle in the three-dimensional robot workspace. The movements of the obstacle of unknown dynamics are predicted by means of a recursive autoregressive (AR) time series model, in which the parameters are estimated by the least mean squared error method. This algorithm is combined with an on-line robot trajectory planning algorithm to generate a collision-free trajectory for the cylindrical robot.

A quadruped robot with pantograph legs, however, has complicat- ed kinematic characteristics to be analyzed. In order to figure. out the kinematic characteristics of three dimensional legged motions of the walking robot, we present a modeling method for three different quadruped robots with pantograph legs, which have different joint driving mechanisms. And the kine- matics, inverse kinematics and geomemcal description of constraints in pantograph mechanisms are considered for anima- tion. Particularly, motions of legs for rotation and side walking are considered in graphic simulation. Multiple windows are used to achieve efficient man-machine communication. It is showed that the software environment can be used for the simulation of various algorithms related to walking robots.","PeriodicalId":332317,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Blanche is intended to be low cost, depending on only two sensors, an optical rangefinder and odometry. Briefly, the position estimation system consists of odometry supplemented with a fast, robust matching algorithm which determines the congruence between the range data and a 2D map of its environment. This is used to correct any errors existing in the odometry estimate. The integration of odometry with fast, robust matching allows for accurate estimates of the robot’s position and accurate estimates of the robot’s position allow for fast, robust matching. That is, the system is self sustaining.","PeriodicalId":332317,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. IEEE/RSJ International Workshop on Intelligent Robots and Systems '.
