Robot control systems are used to gather crucial information about a disaster environment, such as a victim’s position or changes in an indoor environment before a human is able to enter that environment. There are practical problems in using previous systems because these systems need professionals to operate these multi-robots. The proposed system automatically distributes tasks to each robot based on target positions that are selected by the person who does not possess any prior knowledge about robot operation. Therefore, the operator needs only to determine the target position of interest and not be concerned about controlling the robot. Moreover, the system is implemented using ROS in order to add functions and apply this system to various types of robots. This system has been verified and evaluated by Turtlebot 3 in the Gazebo simulator, as well as in a real setting by conducting the system usability scale (SUS) with 23 firefighters.","PeriodicalId":377212,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Control, Mechatronics and Automation (ICCMA)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114948972","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 this paper we present a fractional model that describes the relationship between power generation/loss and temperature in the joints of industrial robots. The proposed mathematical model is used to predict friction variation during the robot working cycle without using temperature sensors. Several experimental tests have been performed on a commercial 6 degree-of-freedom anthropomorphic manipulator. Results confirm that the proposed model is able to estimate the behavior of the friction in the joints during robot working cycles. This can be used to compensate for friction, thus improving the control performance, and to predict energy consumption.","PeriodicalId":377212,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Control, Mechatronics and Automation (ICCMA)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117262164","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 Gripper is analyzed for dynamic modelling, to compute gripping-force and gripping-width with precision. Compromised solution based on objective function formulation is applied, where the population is generated with genetic algorithm. This would deduce the optimal solution set among the generated population and the control variables are regulated by establishing a relation between decision variables and objective functions, such that we acquire better gripper ratio, gripper force analysis as wells design sensitivity analysis.","PeriodicalId":377212,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Control, Mechatronics and Automation (ICCMA)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128609706","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}

An accurate transponder position is critical for the ultra-short baseline positioning systems. However, in a complex underwater environment, the performance of the traditional calibration method is poor in the presence of outliers. Thus, a robust Gauss-Newton iteration algorithm is proposed for the calibration of the transponder position by the paper. The outliers can be detected by the improved Badar data snooping. The simulation and field experiment verified that the calibration accuracy of the transponder position is higher with the proposed method in the presence of outliers. Because of the more accurate transponder position, the positioning accuracy of the USBL can be further improved compared to the traditional methods.","PeriodicalId":377212,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Control, Mechatronics and Automation (ICCMA)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126984207","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 hypothesis tested using this cross-disciplinary project was that if a link exist to a real functionality provide a better understanding and leads to better outcomes in terms of learning process. In this project the students need to build an analogy between the lung airways properties and use equivalence to electrical circuits to evaluate and mimic changes from disease. During this project the students learned to work in a team and to allocate tasks among the team members. Another important competence that they have gained is time management. They have also developed skills for poster design and presentation, developed a critical thinking. All these have lead to a successful implementation of the project and they were able to critically asses changes to mimic diseases.","PeriodicalId":377212,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Control, Mechatronics and Automation (ICCMA)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126327892","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 uncertainty is expressed in the coefficient matrices of constraints and/or coefficients of goal function. In our previous work, such problems were studied under interval, fuzzy sets, and ε-contamination uncertainty models. Our aim here is to give theoretical solutions to the problem under more advanced and informative (p-box) uncertainty model and generalise the approach to calculate the theoretical solutions for linear programming problems. The approach is to convert the optimisation problem under uncertainty to a decision problem using imprecise decision theory where the uncertainty is eliminated. We investigate what theoretical results can be obtained for probability box type of uncertainty model and compare them to classical cases for two different optimality criteria: maximinity and maximality.","PeriodicalId":377212,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Control, Mechatronics and Automation (ICCMA)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133579272","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}
