In this condition, the robots need to understand how to handle the objects by themselves according to user preferences with an autonomous system. However, there have been challenges in the aspect of teaching robots to autonomously identify object grasp positions only using an RGB camera due to the effect of camera perspective on object visualization for robots. Therefore, this study aimed to propose a simplified method on an RGB camera for autonomous object grasping in the material handling process and implement it for the HRC concept. The method used a prototype robot manipulator with a computer vision system for object detection. During the execution of object grasping, the robot achieved a success rate of 86% for a single object and 76% for multiple objects. In the HRC concept, the robot achieved a success rate of 92% for placing objects one by one and 84% for placing objects continuously. The result also showed fast inference time when the robot in real-time detected the object, which was even just running on the CPU and in the planning process without complexity and requiring additional equipment aside from an RGB camera.","PeriodicalId":44563,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intelligent Robotics and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179129","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}

However, they may be in an unstable state due to the huge impact contact forces produced by foot instant landing. This paper is concerned with the problem of dynamical biped walking and robust control of humanoid robots under ground reaction forces (GRF). In order to imitate human’s muscles to absorb the landing force, the robotic system is modeled as a mass–damp–spring model. The novelty of the article lies in the use of impedance control based on ground reaction forces, which deals with the complicated optimization problem subjected to both equality and inequality constraints. A feedback controller is designed to utilize inertial damping to generate the desired motion trajectory of the robot. The constructing autonomous evolution mechanism is mentioned to realize adaptive optimization of walking model. It ensures that the impact of GRF and reinforce stability during transition from single support phase to double support phase. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulations.","PeriodicalId":44563,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intelligent Robotics and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179131","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 has greatly improved the safety and reliability of these autonomous vehicles in predictable scenery. A new dataset provides lidar data focusing on off-road environments as seen by autonomous ground vehicles, ushering in a new era of off-road exploration capabilities. To the best of our knowledge, no new algorithms have been developed specifically for this unstructured environment. To gain an understanding of how existing algorithms perform in an off-road environment, we assess the baseline performance of four algorithms, KPConv, SalsaNext, Cylinder3D, and SphereFormer, on a commonly used on-road dataset, SemanticKITTI. We then compare the results with an off-road dataset, RELLIS-3D. We discuss the degradation of each algorithm on the off-road dataset and investigate potential causes such as class imbalance, inconsistencies in the labeled data, and the inherent difficulty of segmenting off-road environments. We present the strengths and weaknesses of each algorithm’s segmentation abilities and provide a comparison of the runtime of each algorithm for real-time capabilities. This is crucial for identifying what network architecture features are potentially the most beneficial for unstructured scenes. A robust, open-source software implementation via docker containers and bash scripts provides simple, repeatable execution of all algorithm training and evaluations.

The various types of possible robot gearboxes can be selected based on their characteristics, which strongly influence the performance of the entire robotic system. Planetary gear drives have advantages due to their high efficiency and low design complexity. Disadvantageous is the low transmission ratio per stage and the resulting large design space required with the currently predominant involute gearing. Using special tooth profile shapes, such as the eccentric cycloid (EC) gearing, enables a high transmission ratio per stage to be achieved, thus reducing the design space required. In order to evaluate the design, a description of the geometry and characteristics of the EC gearing is necessary. The application-optimized design can be made accessible on an interdisciplinary basis using a suitable description language for the product development of the complete robotic system. The paper shows the design and analysis of a planetary gearbox with a high transmission ratio for applications in robotics. The planetary gear stage is designed with the EC gearing, which offers advantages compared to the involute gearing. The performance of the selected gearing is evaluated based on various characteristics. This allows advantages to be identified compared to the established types of transmission for robots and RLS. Overall, the paper presents a new robot gearbox with a comprehensive description and analysis directly accessible for simulation or production using additive manufacturing.","PeriodicalId":44563,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intelligent Robotics and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179135","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}

A five-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) manipulator is mounted on the differential drive (DD) mobile robot. The advantage of using a redundant system is to avoid joint limits, obstacles, and singularities towards desired trajectory tracking. The proposed approach is based on the Kohonen Self-Organizing Map (KSOM) advanced with Weighted Least Norm (WLN) matrix algorithm. This approach is the recommended neural network for inverse kinematics solutions because of its stability, preserved topology, and capacity to optimize the joint space trajectory while producing a smooth minimal joint angle. A proposed method for redundancy resolution in MM has been simulated using MATLAB simulation code and the Gazebo real-time simulation physical environment. The simulation results are evaluated with the joint limit method of redundancy resolution and other existing controllers for verification purposes. The conventional method of redundancy resolution is local optimum and infeasible for the end-effector motion in the entire workspace. The KSOM uses different steps of error correction that improve the system’s performance as well as ensure the global asymptotical stability of the system. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values for straight-line, circular, Lissajious, and irregular sinusoidal path motions of the proposed method using KSOM are given as 0.0095 m, 0.009945 m, 0.009897 m, and 0.009758 m, respectively. The simulation results of the proposed method confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":44563,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intelligent Robotics and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141779533","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}
