This paper describes a customized self-feeding system designed to increase the independence of a elder person or Parkinson patient who is unable to use his/her arm for self-feeding. Besides, the procedures of design and development of the system are also carried out, and other its tasks control manipulator to feed the food to patients based on nutrients management for patients. This system can help...
This paper discusses the development of a service robot for translating spoken language text into signed languages and vice versa. The motivation for our study is the improvement of accessibility to public information announcements for deaf and less hearing people. The robot can translate Vietnamese sign language into speech and recognize Vietnamese/English speech to suitable gesture/sign language...
In this paper, the service robot named “BlackBot” as receptionist robot is descried, that is a small three-wheeled mobile platform with a differential drive, which was controlled by a mini PC. The BalckBot could sense its surroundings with the aid of various electronic sensors while mechanical actuators were used to move it around. Robot's behavior was determined by the program, which was loaded to...
Sorting is one of the important tasks in production line and it has an appreciable effect to the homogeneous of products. Using vision system to increase productivity in automatic sorting system has attracted many researchers. In this paper, a vision sorting system based on computer that can identify the position and properties of fruits has been recommended. The sorting system uses the high resolution...
The aim of the paper has been to make individuals with disability in arms, who have been fed during meals, completely or partially independent by use of the self-feeding device. In this paper, it describes a self-feeding system designed to increase the independence of a person who is unable to use their arm for self-feeding. It is FeedBot, a highly integrated and compact service robot with manipulator...
Based on the actual demand, the Aloe peeling and dicing system is designed and developed to solve the time-consuming problem of peeling and dicing step, enhance the effect of peeling and keep the continuous process with the capacity of 5000 kg/hr. To do this, three mechanisms of filleting, peeling, and dicing are designed and development. In this paper, the methodology to design to analyze the mechanical...
Applying computer vision for control the school of fish robots (SFR) using swarm model is a new direction. In this paper, the computer vision was studied for control a SFR using swarm model. The computer vision will return the framework and an algorithm was used to take the real position for every member. In the swarm model, every member has to solve a problem and combination together to get the target...
In this paper a control design of a non-holonomic mobile robot with a differential drive is presented based on a new behavior-based fuzzy control method. Automatic control of a mobile robot depends on complex signal processing mechanisms. It is based on behavioral architecture which can deal with uncertainties in unknown environments and has the ability to accommodate different behaviors. Basic behaviors...
Sorting is one of the important tasks in production line and it has an appreciable effect to the homogeneous of products. Using vision system to increase productivity in automatic sorting system interests a large of researchers. In this paper, we recommend a vision sorting system based on computer that can identify the position and properties of fruits. The sorting system uses the high resolution...
Machine tools with parallel structures are the subject that usually discuss in many researches. Users are still largely unaware of the advantages offered by these new machine structures. This paper presents the development of a mathematical model describing the kinematics problem and analysis workspace of five-axis milling machine (FMM) based on six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) structure. In addition,...
The paper propose a methodology using the ability of ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) to solve inverse kinematics problem of Delta parallel robot. A five layer neural network of ANFIS is used to adjust input and output parameters of membership function in a fuzzy logic controller. The hybrid algorithm is used for training this network. In this algorithm, the least square estimation method...
Sorting is one of the important tasks in production line. Using Robot to increase productivity in automatic sorting system interests a large of researchers. In this paper, we recommend a sorting system based on Robot that can identify the position and properties of objects. The sorting system uses the camera placed on the top of the mechanical conveyor belt. With the images captured by the camera,...
This paper is addressed in fuzzy decision made to change on trajectory direction of robot's path. The generation of membership functions for fuzzy systems is a challenging problem. While robotic fish is swimming in the environment with a high potential of hurdles, it is possible for them to meet with collisions because there are many kinds of obstructions in water. Therefore, approaching natural and...
This paper is concerned with the development of various ways to control the electrically powered wheelchair. For controlling the wheelchair in the paper, biosignal recognition is employed, and the system of recognition signals as Electromyogram (EMG), Electrooculogram (EOG) has been developed. The main purpose of designed wheelchair allows persons with severe disabilities to reliably navigate a power...
This paper describes a mapping system for robotic fish in partially structured environments. Several infrared sensors are used to obtain information about the structures in such environments. An algorithm has been developed to extract object features, together with their uncertainty, from infrared sensors. The obtained information is incorporated into a feature based mapping algorithm running an extended...
Pipe cleaning and inspection robot is one of the new concepts of professional service robots. Sewer pipes are typically of non-man-entry classification (less than 0.8 m diameter). In this paper, a pipe-cleaning and inspection robot specifically designed for this function is proposed. This paper presents a new approach for design and development of cleaning robots in an unknown pipe workspace. To do...
The robot fish, with straight and turn movement, is undertaken by the waving of body combined with caudal fins. In heaving motion, fish robot is propelled and controlled by pectoral fins or a changing system like the bladder in real fish. In this paper, the adjusting gravitation method was chosen to change the depth of sinking and make robot fish floating. Using this method, the mechanical structure...
In this paper describes the design, modeling and development of a robotic flower based on continuum structure. It is the new concept of biomimetics, and its appearance likes a natural flower. The design is based on a novel “tendon and spring” mechanisms. The robotic flower is steered by tendons combining structure of spring. Its development is novel with respect to previous robotic flower's designs...
