The goal of the present project is to develop a general purpose data collector framework, which provides facilities for attaching and fitting different kinds of sensors and actuators. This general purpose framework provides an easy way to turn a general purpose robot into a special function one. The final concrete goal of the present development is to develop an autonomous robot assisting clinical patients and/or elderly persons. The work is going on towards the next phase, when the collector framework will be attached to a medical robot. The presented framework will handle the sensors and the motion of the medical robot it will be attach to an iRobot or a same instrument. Furthermore, users and developers can apply the framework several other implementations.","PeriodicalId":334936,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122844702","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}

These algorithms generate descriptor vectors around keypoints in 2D images. Close descriptors suggest similar image patch. In case of mobile robotics applications it is important to achieve good viewpoint invariance and stability to detect landmarks and objects with high reliability. Improving viewpoint invariance for image feature detection increases the efficiency of SLAM algorithms. In this paper we present and evaluate a method to use additional data provided by range image sensors to supplement traditional feature extraction algorithms to improve viewpoint invariance. We present the method and results of computer simulation and also real world examples comparing the SURF (OpenSURF) with and without the improvement. An active structured light based range and intensity image sensor was used to acquire real world test images.","PeriodicalId":334936,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC)","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124889364","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}

Standard 4DoF serial manipulator with PRRR joints is equipped with special 3DoF parallel spherical wrist which makes possible to separate vulnerable components (motors, sensors) from the rest of the end-effector by a water-proof barrier. Inverse and direct kinematics are discussed. The algorithm for velocity, acceleration and static forces (gravity compensation) is derived. In the case of known inverse and direct position dependencies proposed algorithm can be generalized for an arbitrary serial or parallel manipulator.","PeriodicalId":334936,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125980433","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}

Model based control system is based on real time mathematical model, which can be used at individual levels of the process hierarchy in the on line real time control system.

For the outlining tasks, a human operator controls a simulation model to generate a sequential list of desired sub-goals. The human operator is specifying controller's set-points and allowing the autonomous control capabilities of the furnace to coordinate the actual trajectory between set-points. Provision is made to preview the proposed trajectory for approval or modification before execution. Developed model is used for the support of direct and supervisory control.

Nowadays there are many possible methods of identification. The necessary requirement for the identification process is the object marking. There are various methods of marking. The best known structure is the alphanumerical code, barcode or 2D code. All these ways have its typical advantages and disadvantages but in general all of them can not be used without the direct visibility or for identification of higher quantity of objects at once. These are critical features for the security area applications. The only technology that fulfills those necessary features is radiofrequency identification (RFID) that works with RFID tags marked objects. The only recognition of the tag on the object is insufficient. The acquired data has to be collected, processed, filtrated, enhanced by the business meaning of the event. After the data processing the results has to be uploaded to a system with a standardized database scheme that offer the data for further use in registration systems. This document makes a short report from the ongoing project of application the ultra high frequency (UHF) RFID technologies into the field of gun management. This project is managed by the ILAB RFID - International RFID Laboratory at the VŠBTechnical University Ostrava. Objectives of the research are to realize essential tests and necessary analyses that are required for the proper design of the newly created gun management system for the Police of the Czech Republic. Current tasks lie in the analysis of the processes that will be automated and in the definition of the optimal parameters of the UHF transponder, its location and the method of attachment to the body of the gun. Major benefits of the solution · Elimination of errors resulting from wrong identification of the gun. · Reducing the cost of administration associated with registering and evaluating the use of a weapon. · Contactless identification of a handgun without direct visibility (in the case, in baggage, etc.). · Possibility of multiple gun batch identification. · Simple access to reports about the history of use of identified guns.","PeriodicalId":334936,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114771621","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}
