In the working process of the system, it is necessary to perform information fusion on the attitude detected by the sensor to achieve accurate measurement of attitude angle and angular velocity. Accurate and efficient measurement of UAV attitude angle is the basis of UAV flight control. In this paper, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm is used to estimate the attitude information of the four-rotor UAV. Firstly, a four-rotor UAV simulation model is established on Simulink in Matlab, and then the attitude information of the UAV is measured and estimated. The results show that the extended Kalman filter algorithm can effectively estimate the attitude information of UAV.","PeriodicalId":388974,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Continuity","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129693602","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}

This paper will describe and simulate the vision technology that mobile robots need to apply in the task process. This paper mainly uses the camera as the sensor. The difficulties of vision technology are mainly divided into three parts: scene depth information acquisition, positioning and mapping, and image processing. In order to obtain the depth information of the scene, this paper mainly introduces the depth information acquisition methods of monocular camera and binocular camera. In the aspect of localization and mapping, this paper mainly introduces the simulation of visual odometer to understand the basic process of mobile robot obtaining navigation map and its own route. Then, the gray gradient 2D maximum entropy algorithm is introduced to segment the scene and target, and extract features to judge the required target. Compared with other segmentation algorithms, the gray gradient 2D maximum entropy algorithm has higher segmentation accuracy, but the operation time is longer. This paper has simply optimized its operation efficiency. Finally, this paper describes the positioning method of grasping the object with a two degree of freedom manipulator using the knowledge of inverse kinematics. Because of the epidemic situation, schools cannot obtain experimental equipment. This paper mainly demonstrates the effectiveness of the algorithm through simulation.","PeriodicalId":388974,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Continuity","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125950218","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 Improved Genetic Algorithm (IGA) has emerged as a significant advancement in the field of optimization techniques. By incorporating adaptive features, this refined approach yields enhanced performance and accuracy when compared to traditional genetic algorithms. Building on the foundational principles of evolutionary computation, the IGA employs innovative strategies, such as adaptive crossover and mutation operators, to navigate complex solution spaces effectively. It can also reduce computation time and increase efficiency by considering various considerations, such as environmental constraints and avoiding obstacle.","PeriodicalId":388974,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Continuity","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133193218","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}

It integrates the stability and maneuverability of a wheeled robot and obstacle climbing capability of the legged robot by means of a wheel-legged transformable mechanism. These two modes can be switched easily with two spokes touching terrain. In this paper, the motion analysis of the proposed robot under the wheeled, legged, and transformable modes is carried out after briefly introducing the concept and control system design.

The initial pheromone concentration was differentiated on the grid map according to the distance, which avoided the blind search in the early stage of the ant colony and sped up the convergence speed of the algorithm. The distance between the current grid and the grid to be selected and the distance between the grid to be selected, and the target grid were synthesized to improve the heuristic function to increase the direction of ant colony pathfinding. The dynamic heuristic factor was introduced to avoid the phenomenon of prematurity and falling into local optimization. It was proposed to label the direction of the adjacent grid of each grid, which increased the distance between the optimal path and obstacles, enhanced the security of the optimal path, avoided the occurrence of the dead corner phenomenon, and improved the robustness of the algorithm. The simulation results show that in the same environment, the improved algorithm's search efficiency and iterative stability are better than that of basic ACO algorithms in AGV path planning.","PeriodicalId":388974,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Continuity","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130540352","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}
