In fact, the assembly task for space robots requires compliance and precision while ensuring avoidance of any occurrences of rigid collision throughout the process. Therefore, we design a new combined active and passive variable admittance control structure combined with the following three parts to meet these acquirements. Firstly, we develop an active variable admittance algorithm to facilitate the space robot rapid movement, enabling it to achieve higher speeds while maintaining compliance. Then, to mitigate the occurrence of unforeseen rigid collisions during the robot motion, we devise a passive variable admittance control algorithm, which aims to minimize the impact of collision events and ensure the robot safe operation. Furthermore, by employing the Lyapunov theory, a new active adaptive variable admittance control algorithm is presented for robot constant force output. Consequently, through contrast experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness and enhanced performance of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":505134,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO)","volume":"58 9","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139187127","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}

In this paper, a 3 degree-of-freedom (DOF) master-slave operated tracheal intubation robotic system is proposed, wherein a flexible endoscope serves as the end effector. The structural components of the master-slave mechanism are described in detail, and the kinematic model of the flexible endoscope is established. Four participants were recruited to conduct experimental research on master-slave operation intubation. In the experiment, the shortest operation time recorded was 8.88 seconds, while the longest is 72.04 seconds, they are less than the clinically required safety threshold of 2 minutes. This validates the feasibility of the developed prototype in achieving robot-assisted intubation.","PeriodicalId":505134,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO)","volume":"40 12","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139187230","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 complicated programming interface of mobile robots is often an obstacle to use for people who are not technically proficient. To this end, we present a novel method for teach-and-repeat of mobile robots by Ultra-Wideband (UWB) based human following. This approach has the following two advantages. First, the human following using UWB releases capacities for parallel activities during the teach-in process. Second, the programming of the robot path is conducted directly on the robot hardware using a self-developed UWB-based handset, which reduces setup time. Real-world experiments are conducted using our in-house developed mobile robot platform, the \"Carrier Bot\", whose hardware design has been specially selected to facilitate ease of use for indoor teach-in programming. Experiments show that the proposed system can reach a repeatability of 0.05 m of at least 12 meters path.","PeriodicalId":505134,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO)","volume":"38 9","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139187264","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}

Jafari, Appolinaire C.

The predominant source of discomfort often originates from swelling of the residual limb, a factor traditional prosthetic sockets fail to accommodate [3]. While Osseointegration surgery, a unique method to connect prosthetics and residual limbs while removing the socket, is recognized as a superior solution for enhancing comfort and quality of life, its accessibility remains limited [4]. Hence, the motivation for this study is to explore the development of an automatically actuating and adjustable socket. This research aims to design and develop a prosthetic limb socket offering enhanced comfort, flexibility, and user control i.e. a robotic socket (RS). A comprehensive literature review was conducted to assess existing interactive sockets and sensory systems, focusing on their performance and specifications. The methodology employed in this study (Phase 1) involved the design and testing of small-scale circuits which will later (Phase 2) evolve into a more complex and up-scaled system. The prototype developed in this study features a plastic bottle equipped with a pressure valve, simulating residual limb swelling by modulating the internal pressure. A 3D-printed button and locking wire serve as a rigid socket, preventing unchecked bottle expansion. A motor integrated into the system modulates hoop tension on the conceptual socket, ensuring user-specific pressure regulation. The system was developed using a Raspberry Pi to manage motor fluctuations based on user-defined set points and bottle pressure readings. Preliminary testing demonstrated promising results, with the motor effectively adjusting the cable tension in response to the pressure sensor’s readings. The use of a plastic bottle in the prototype makes this design cost-effective and accessible.","PeriodicalId":505134,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO)","volume":"47 8","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139187318","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 core idea is to solve a smooth and less energy-consuming locomotion mode switching trajectory based on the stabilization of the motion process.

However, conventional structured light systems typically employ a digital light processing projector (DLP) to project specific light patterns or coded patterns onto the surface of the object under examination. This reliance on projectors limits the miniaturization potential of such structured light systems, thereby hindering their suitability for industrial applications. The main contributions of the work in this paper include: 1) We introduce a novel and practical depth-aware miniature solution for smart terminals that employs a diffractive optical element (DOE) instead of a digital projector to project coded patterns. 2) We propose a one-dimensional SL pattern generation method that is successfully etched onto a DOE. 3) In contrast to traditional image processing techniques, all crucial steps in the pattern decoding process, such as corner detection and block recognition, are executed using deep learning methods, ensuring heightened robustness in real-world applications.

Firstly, the energy consumption function of the AUV during navigation is established. Then, based on the energy consumption function, the cost function of the A* algorithm is adaptively improved. Therefore, an improved A* algorithm with optimal energy consumption is proposed. After that, the algorithm, A* algorithm, ant colony algorithm and improved ant colony algorithm were simulated under raster map.

It remains an immensely challenging task due to complex interaction between vehicles, the difficulty of extracting traffic rules information, and the dynamic changes in traffic flow. Existing methods model the interactions among vehicles or extract traffic flow density features, but overlook the effects of neighboring vehicles’ movements and interactions, which contain traffic rules and the influence of surrounding traffic conditions. To achieve this, we propose a new method taking into account neighboring vehicles’ dynamic behaviors and history, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the traffic environment. Firstly, a novel dual-stream nearest vehicle attention mechanism method is proposed that leverages the historical state and position of the neighbors’ vehicle and captures its features. Secondly, in order to effectively encode these features, we recombine them by the multi-head attention mechanism. Lastly, in order to fusion these features and other inputs, we extract and combine the relationships between them by a self-attention mechanism. Our approach not only outperforms other methods in evaluation metrics but also demonstrates excellent results in real-world scenarios.","PeriodicalId":505134,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO)","volume":"85 5","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139186802","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}
