When motors generate turning force, Spherical robot can maintain the balance for roll using the moment of inertia and angular acceleration. This method which is fixed to the center axis by bearing has zero angular acceleration, so spherical robot maintains the balance from disturbance and external impact. For the measurement of roll slope, this system used the gyro and acceleration sensor and used the kalman filter because of exact measurement of gyro and acceleration sensor which have a noise.","PeriodicalId":385925,"journal":{"name":"2011 8th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI)","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115025127","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}

Passive UHF Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technique provides an efficient solution because of its low cost for installation and easy identification of the tagged physical objects. In this paper, we research on the localization problem using passive UHF RFID systems. We discuss theoretical and practical characteristics of a passive UHF RFID system. We propose novel algorithm to minimize the number of ambiguous tag points against a single RSSI value from a target tag and increase accuracy of location estimation in 2D grid space. Because of a single Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) can be related to multiple points in the monitoring area due to signal propagation when we use the RSSI based localization technique. According to the analysis of our experiment results, our proposed approach shows over 50% improvement compared with the conventional k-Nearest Neighbor algorithm in a test frame, and 23.24cm of estimation error with a high granularity for localization of box level items with 4 different positions in the immobile applied application such as a smart shelf.","PeriodicalId":385925,"journal":{"name":"2011 8th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125938608","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}

Motion planning which is generally accompanied by various constraints is a key problem to achieve the task. In these constraints, the conditions for achieving the task are the most important component in the motion planning. In this research, we propose a method for motion planning with via-point representation to deal with various conditions for achieving the task. The via-point representation plays a crucial role in the reappearance of human movements. Our method deals with various constraints including the achievements for the task by conditions of the via-point parameterization in the optimization process. We applied this method to generate the kicking motion of a humanoid robot HOAP-3, and confirmed that the robot kicked a ball to roll on the ground and to fly in the air.","PeriodicalId":385925,"journal":{"name":"2011 8th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI)","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130145443","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}

Traditionally the Air Data Test System (ADTS) is manually programmed with different values, using the built-in numeric keypad on the equipment, to calibrate the pressure and altitude sensors of a vehicle or aircraft. For each input the resulting output is compared with it. This manual approach is suitable for small ranges of pressure but when the sensor needs to be tested over a large range of pressure values, is time consuming and thus becomes impractical. Thus the need arises for automating the calibration process. This paper presents the implementation of an application developed in Lab VIEW for automating the calibration of the ADS via the GPIB interface. The GUI developed allows for extensive testing of the sensor in limited time.","PeriodicalId":385925,"journal":{"name":"2011 8th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126756016","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}

Our approach consists of three ingredients namely shapes, a motion model and a sparse (non-binary) sub-sampling of colours in background and foreground parts based on the shape assumption. The tracking itself is inspired by the idea of having a short-term and a longterm memory. A lost object is “missed” by the long-term memory when it is no longer recognized by the short-term memory. Moreover, the long-term memory allows to re-detect vanished objects and using their new position as a new initial position for object tracking. The short-term memory is implemented with a new Monte Carlo variant which provides a heuristic to cope with the loss-of-diversity problem. It enables simultaneous tracking of multiple (visually) identical objects. The long-term memory is implemented with a Bayesian Multiple Hypothesis filter. We demonstrate the robustness of our approach with respect to object occlusions and non-Gaussian/non-linear movements of the tracked object. Our approach is very scalable since one can tune the parameters for a trade-off between precision and computational time.","PeriodicalId":385925,"journal":{"name":"2011 8th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114248125","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}
