This paper describes the method for defining regions of interest in an image using ultrasonic sensors data which will be further used for image segmentation and classification. Sensors mounted in the view of the camera are calibrated for their position with respect to the camera to the relative distance between the human and robot. Depending on these calibration parameters, the image is divided into number of regions that is equivalent to number of sensors.","PeriodicalId":422587,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122620158","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}

There are two main adhesion systems in the literature: magnetic and air suction systems. The magnetic system climbs surfaces made of ferromagnetic materials only, while air suction system cannot handle irregular surfaces due to possible seals damage. Opposite to previous climbing robots, the proposed robot here can climb and navigate vessels made from different materials besides handling possible irregular surfaces during inspection. Its main task is visual inspection of welds and any critical spots inside these vessels. The novelty of this robot comes from utilizing a hybrid actuation system. This hybrid actuation system consists of upturned propellers fixed on mobile robot and motorized wheels of the mobile robot. The pressure generated from the upturned propellers increase the friction force between the wheels of the mobile robot and the wall. The wheels' motors generate the required torque either to fix the robot in any position or to move it to any place. Since the motion of the robot comes mainly from the motorized wheel, the stability of the system during navigation is guaranteed. Size and topology optimizations are carried out to achieve optimum design of the proposed robot. Simulation results of the designed robot using ADAMS software prove its feasibility.","PeriodicalId":422587,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132753530","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 methods comprise closed-loop control systems, which utilize sensors to guide the robot relative to visible features of a work-piece. However, the known methods show limitations regarding their usability for highly accurate applications or tasks without a predetermined process pathway. To overcome this problem, at FAPS a system for high-speed monitoring of the work-piece's movement is investigated. The system enables a closed-loop control of the robots motion, if a deviation between actual and planned movement is determined. For the actual movement determination, a highly efficient and accurate image data processing system, based on a vectorial movement determination of fiducial markers is developed. In this context, a highly efficient and geometrical accurate actual state determination constitutes a significant challenge. Experiments show, that the system allows a position determination in an area of ten microns at a frequency faster than 500 Hz, thus enabling a reactive robot control and accuracy improvement.","PeriodicalId":422587,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132109233","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 was known that a precise and effective crop simulation was beneficial for the investigating of crops' growth and production forecast. The real-time monitoring data applied for this simulation system was derived from Agriculture monitoring and early-warning research space (AMERS) which was established by Agriculture Information Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. A more accurate and valid simulation system is proposed in this paper, by improving the system of agriculture model with the collected data. The corrected model is able to predict the crop's growth and yields more accurately. During the lifecycle of the whole crops the model is corrected and predicted continuously until the simulated data is highly consistent with the real data. The collected data can be used as the input of the simulation, and the corrected model for real-time feedback. A growth index which was calculated by the monitoring data used to measure the growth of crops was proposed. This growth index will responded to the crops simulation model for system amendment. The result of late growth and yield forecasting will be updated by the revised model. Two applications of this system were briefly introduced.","PeriodicalId":422587,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125780244","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}

Some problems, such as lost subject and inconvenient operation, when a tracker is working on big-scale models, like an airplane or a ship, can't be solved well in an immersive virtual reality system. Based on the moving trajectory and speed of a tracker in a unit of time span, the tracking algorithm is a plus to the mainstream relative position algorithm. The algorithm can tell the magnitude and intensity of a user's operation. It makes it especially convenient to display large-scale models in the CAVE system.

To guarantee good customer satisfaction, the demand of all visited customers should reach a pre specified value. The objective of this paper is minimization of total distance and total cost of schedule by maximizing the total prize collected by each customers.
