While there has been substantial progress for multi-robot exploration of an unknown area, little attention has been given to communication, especially bandwidth constraints in time-sensitive and bandwidth-consuming tasks such as search and surveillance. In such tasks, video/audio streams of a newly explored area should be sent back to the base station in a timely manner. To address this issue, we...
In this paper, a new method based on multi-layered dynamic neural group network for analyzing event series is introduced. By the embedded multiple parallel structures, the new method can identify the character patterns contained in the event series. Then, a selective evaluation strategy is applied to integrate the different pattern clusters and predict the event in the next step. The aim is to generate...
Internet based tele-operation systems utilize the ubiquitous connectivity and low cost bandwidth offered by the Internet to send commands and receive friendly feedback for tele-operating remote systems. In many scenarios for efficiency and task completion, the tactic coordination of human-machine and multi-robots are required. For this to be feasible there are several hurdles to be crossed including...
The Internet-based tele-operation is becoming an important research field in the past years. Most exist works are based on the wired Internet and the PC computers, which largely limited the robot's movement and the tele-operation system's portability. This paper presents a design and implementation of an Internet soccer tele-operation system based on Pocket PC via the 802.11b wireless network. According...
The Internet-based teleoperation has become a popular research topic during the recent years. More and more fields are being involved and one of them is the multi-robot systems. Multi-robot systems have the ability to perform better in a complex environment; however, it is difficult for the robots to complete tasks autonomously, thus a human operator is needed to contribute his ability to direct the...
The Internet-based teleoperation has been studied in more and more potential fields in the past years. The interest in multi-robot systems arises during recent years for their ability to perform better in complex environment. However, it is difficult for robots to perform tasks autonomously in complex conditions, thus a human operator at the remote site is needed to contribute his intelligence to...
Structural health monitoring and inspection is very important for many civil, mechanical and aerospace systems. It is critical step in maintaining and improving the structural integrity of these systems. In this paper, we propose to develop an automated, intelligent inspection system for these engineered structures, which employs a team of intelligent climbing robots and a command robot to collaboratively...
This paper proposes a new robotized mobile sensor network platform to conduct aircraft rivet inspection and addresses the motion planning problem involved. Due to the specific movement characteristics of the mobile robot, the path, or the rivet sequence, should enable each mobile robot to realize the localization-and-reposition process. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to extend our previous...
With the rapid development of information technology, the Internet has evolved from a simple data-sharing media to an amazing information world where people can enjoy various services. Recently, the use of the Internet has been expanded to the field of automation, i.e., using the Internet as a tool to control equipment located at remote sites. This work presents a system that enables multiple operators...
