This paper then investigates the effects of an active wobbling mass that moves backward and forward in the body frame on the generated gait properties. First, we develop the reduced mathematical model for analysis and design the controller for driving the wobbling mass. Second, we show that the walking speed is successfully increased by adjusting the desired wobble frequency according to the effect of entrainment through numerical simulations. Furthermore, we conduct verification experiments using our CRW machine.","PeriodicalId":431699,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123065397","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}

Consequently, in these environments, the use of artificial landmarks to achieve robust localization is necessary. To this end, we propose a global localization method for mobile robots, using reflectors as indistinguishable artificial landmarks, not the manmade signs have a certain pattern. In previous studies, it has been shown that localization is possible using information about the distance between indistinguishable artificial landmarks. We applied this principle in a real-world situation with many obstacles or in a dynamic environment and confirmed that robust, high-accuracy global localization is possible.","PeriodicalId":431699,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114187120","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}

Due to the predominance of the Web protocols, it is natural mobile robots to employ such protocols for interacting over the network with other applications. Information transfer protocols such as HTTP and SOAP allow parameters to be passed in their messages, leading to a client-server interaction style based on RPC (Remote Procedure Call). As such, many robotic frameworks today employ this interaction style. An alternate interaction style is REST (Representational State Transfer). In this style, instead of focusing on operations (procedures) as in RPC, the focus is on resources. In this paper we present a RESTful (REST compliant) architecture and its implementation for mobile robots. This architecture is compared with a classical RPC-based architecture in order to illustrate the benefits of REST in the field of network robotics based on open standards.","PeriodicalId":431699,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115998097","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}
