This article intends to provide an overview of the state of art in developmental models of cognitive robots. With the development of artificial intelligence, robots have been able to perform a variety of complex tasks controlled by human. However, it is still a challenge for robots that they can explore and develop their cognitive ability in the specific environment like human beings. The current...
In this paper, a novel algorithm to solve multi-robot formation path planning problem is proposed. A combination of the leader-follower and improved poly-clonal artificial immune algorithm is used to derive the formation architecture. The formation of multi-robot is maintained through controlling the distance and angle between leader and followers. Robots reach the desired positions and avoid obstacles...
Multi-robot system can improve the efficiency of mapping and exploration. One of the key problems is when and how to merge the partial maps acquired by robots independently to share environmental information between robots. This paper studies the problem of fusing two partial maps without common reference frames and relative position information of robots. On the basis of the similarity metric, the...
In this paper, a micro bending robot (MBR) for an active catheter which allows any bending direction and bending angle and has a simple structure for miniaturization was developed. The MBR is 1.25 mm in outer diameter. In order to achieve a large bending angle meanwhile not to increase the outer diameter of the MBR too much, the MBR consists of 3 bending units. A bending unit consists of a bias spring...
