This paper aims at developing a sensor-based Co-Active adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (CANFIS) for solving navigation problems of the mobile robot in an uncertain environment. The infrared sensor reads the distances of right, front and left obstacle. The collision-free path is accomplished by CANFIS controller which selects the desired steering angle by construing the obstacle distance information...
The force/torque sensor is an important tool that gives a robot an ability to interact with their usage environments. Calibration is essential for these force/torque sensors to convert the raw sensor values to accurate forces and torques. However, in practice, the multi-axis force/torque sensor requires complex multi-step data processing, because of the coupling effects and nonlinearity of sensors...
One of the most efficient tools for early extinguishing of fire is fire fighter robot. A new method to detect gas and to extinguish fire, fire fighter robot is presented here. “Robot for fire fighter and gas detection” is to sense the flame or fire. This is very much needed for all types of industries. In most of the Industries fire sensing is very essential to prevent heavy losses. Robots with this...
A large percentage of buildings in domestic orspecial-purpose is expected to become increasingly "smarter"in the future, due to the immense benefits in terms of en-ergy saving, safety, flexibility, and comfort, that relevant newtechnologies offer. As concerns hardware, software, or platformlevel, however, no clearly dominant standards currently exist. Such standards, would ideally, fulfill...
Agriculture is considered as one of the traditional occupations in India, due to the fact of specialization and skills we possess. Ancient farmer used their advanced skills and techniques to yields production from various sources, but in today's scenario farmers are striving hard to cultivate the land and yield the production. The farmers today are not the same as yesterdays and the farmers present...
There lies a thin line between success and failure while considering management of disasters. Any calamity, whether natural or otherwise, does not allow for the luxury of time, while being handled. Timely and precise diagnosis of the situation will lead to better evaluation of the resources needed to contain and counter the calamity. Disaster response teams must make decisions that can save innumerable...
Today, we find many children with difficulties in dealing with physical and mental tasks. Technology promotes welfare of the differently abled children along with bringing social justice to them on humanitarian grounds. Assistive devices with sensor technology are the humanitarian technologies which are essentially required for the differently abled children. They can have a better life if they are...
In Agriculture, farming is an important process to provide us foods. The production of farming is increasing due to the world population increased. Scientists and Engineers are working on it in order to increase the productions and reduce the time required. Hence, planting and harvest technologies are improved significantly. However, the farming delivering process also is a very important process...
This paper presents a solution for safety maintenance inspection on power lines. Actually, the overhead lines inspections have carried out by direct observation of the technician, on energized equipment with special techniques. It is slow and it requires intensive job. It affects the security of the electrical system and it affects the power supply, with the consequent impact, for users, in a grid...
Urbanization and changes in modern infrastructure have introduced new challenges to current firefighting practices. The current manual operations and training including fire investigation, hazardous chemicals detection, fire and rescue are insufficient to protect the firefighter's safety and life. The firefighting and rescue functions of the existing equipment and apparatus and their dexterity are...
A corresponding fuzzy control algorithm combined with fuzzy control theory was developed for the hot issue of robot path planning and motion tracking. Left and right wheel speed of robot was controlled by location information which was obtained by infrared distance sensors detecting obstacles and feeding back to the controller. A complete computer control system was developed by configuring the appropriate...
Active robot tracking system is one kind of utilization of tracking system on a mobile robot and widely used in many aspect such as security or military. With the widespread of application of robot tracking system, it is necessary that the development of this robot tracking system that facilitate future enhancement. However, problem of detecting the object, planning path and avoiding obstacles during...
Nowadays, Auto-navigation robots are cutting-edge and widely used and investigated by robotics experts. An autonomous robot can function and complete every task without any human guidance. Since it functions without human intervention, therefore obstacles detection and localization are significant and need to figure out. First, how the robot obstacle detection? Second, how to control auto-navigation...
The complexity to autonomous-navigate a flying robot is much higher compared with a ground-based robot. During autonomous-navigation, the flying robot should have the intelligent to fly from current location toward the desired location. Therefore, the system must address three problems facing by the flying robot. First, where am I? It's the perceive level of the flying robot to sense the environment...
The purpose of this paper has been to develop a microcontroller-based data acquisition system, intended for a group of small autonomous mobile robots (MBots), to capture and store the different physical and environmental variables acquired during its exploration. The initial objectives have been resolved satisfactorily. The development of a TFG (Final Year Project) applied it allows to evaluate the...
Navigation in real environment with static and dynamic obstacles, detection and avoidance is one of the main challenges for autonomous mobile robot movement. This consists, on methods and algorithms applied in order to achieve most optimal results. We presented application of Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) which will deal with, signal processing of three sensors as inputs of FLC and two outputs which...
Accurate localisation of an indoor robot critically depends on the odometry calibration which varies with different types of floor surfaces. Motion control accuracy of robots can be improved by independently calibrating odometry parameters for each floor surface [1]. This paper presents a new robot floor classification system based on motor current measurements with compensation for variations in...
Robots functioning as a society can be called as a swarm. Coordinating a class of robots on an unexplored surrounding in the process of finding the shortest pathway is aided with a proper channel of communication and along with that the robots operate under a structurally associated procedure. The surrounding in which the robots move includes dynamic obstacles which are averted with the guidance of...
We present techniques for automatically identifying relationships between rigidly linked 6DoF and 3DoF sensors belonging to different sensor systems. The techniques allow for subsequent automatic alignment of the sensor systems, increasing the usability of modular sensor systems. Two techniques are presented and analysed in simulation and a case study for performance under varying noise and latency...
Many accidents due to short circuits, gas leakages, etc. will not allow an ordinary person to enter the accident area so as to reduce further damage1. Such accidents are increasing day-to-day due to lack of awareness, precautionary measures and ignorance. This paper presents an intelligent security system useful for most of the home and industry applications by using remote controlling techniques...
