Undeniably, the reactions' speed, the precision in motion and how easy to understand these reactions are the main criteria for such a fuzzy controller. Indeed, an agentification of sensors and distribution of control over several cooperative fuzzy-agents are the strategic points for the proposed model. An implementation followed by a series of simulations of the Khepera navigational behavior, allowed us to test and discuss the efficiency of the fuzzy-multiagent design on the accuracy preserving the interpretability for the problem of obstacle avoidance in unknown and dynamic environment.","PeriodicalId":410182,"journal":{"name":"2012 First International Conference on Innovative Engineering Systems","volume":"47 15","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131722307","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 places in which mobile robot navigation is performed can contain numerous potential hazards. The majority of path planning algorithms, however, put a priority on the minimization of time and distance rather than ensuring a safe performance. Robot can encounter difficulties in reaching its target point, as it can be place in which the robot cannot obtain environment information due to limited fields of view and dynamic environments. This paper presents a Modified A* algorithm in order to reduce collision risk through the consideration of occluded dynamic environments. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance (safety cost and navigation time) than original A* algorithm.","PeriodicalId":410182,"journal":{"name":"2012 First International Conference on Innovative Engineering Systems","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123560555","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 PDP comprised of multifunctional activities each one of them influenced by many internal and external factors that small changes during the process progress can lead to unexpected or even unstable behavior. Hence, the PDPs are highly complex and dynamic processes in nature. Many models such as Concurrent Engineering (CE), simultaneous Engineering (SE) and Integrated Product Development (IPD) are developed by the aim of managing the PDP successfully. There is a gap between the developed models using these traditional approaches and the real dynamic external land internal environment.

Due to this extension, when a fault occurs the navigation process does not have to stop running in order to keep the system in a safe state and to ensure a high dependability. The associative memory enables the robot to remember the previously traversed paths inside a known environment and to learn new, unknown paths on-line. This long-term memory makes the monitor more dependable and more robust with respect to the fault detection, diagnosis and handling. To show the feasibility of the approach we apply it on an example of a mobile robot application.","PeriodicalId":410182,"journal":{"name":"2012 First International Conference on Innovative Engineering Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128682551","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 primary application of the modular mobile manipulator is to assist urban search and rescue in unstructured environments. The modular mobile manipulator has five Degree of Freedom (DoF) on the manipulator and six DoF on the mobile base. A dynamic model of the modular mobile manipulator for real-time simulation is constructed in MapleSimTM. A frequently occurring problem associated with the mobile manipulator moving on uneven terrain is the tip-over. The tip-over phenomena is due to the fact that the torque created by the center of mass of the mobile manipulator is toward the outside of the supporting boundary. The tip-over avoidance algorithm is developed such that the center of mass of the mobile manipulator is controlled actively to balance the forces acting on the supporting boundary of the mobile manipulator. The algorithm not only provides tip-over avoidance but also balances the ground forces. The effectiveness of the proposed tip-over avoidance algorithm has been evaluated through simulations, and the results are reported in this paper.","PeriodicalId":410182,"journal":{"name":"2012 First International Conference on Innovative Engineering Systems","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125654355","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}
