One of important subjects for mobile robots is the vision based decision making system, where the color constancy is big problem for robots which use color property to recognize environments. We have been working on color constancy vision algorithms using bio-inspired information processing as creatures can recognize color and shape of objects even if there exits a large change of light conditions...
Underwater robots and underwater machines are counted on helping the salvage procedure, escaping prevention of pollution, lifesaving at sea, scientific exploration in the ocean and so on. In the underwater robot, therefore, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have been developed actively during recent year. However, AUVs have various problems which should be solved such as motion control, acquisition...
This paper describes one of the most important issues for mobile robots: it is simultaneous optimization of robot structures and its control systems using evolutionary algorithm and dynamics simulation. Generally, wheeled mobile robots have difficulty in traveling on the outdoor environments because of its mechanical limitations. And, the effective outdoor traveling has deeply relationship between...
In our previous research, we developed a jumping legged robot aiming at expansion of mobile robot's activities. In jumping motion, the velocity and mass of robot have large effect on jumping height and motion. In order to analyze the jumping motion, one-mass or two-mass models are proposed. At the moment of jumping, the velocity of the robot in two-mass model changes rapidly because the top mass of...
We show the dynamics computation employing Jacobian that relates the center of gravity (COG) to joints of link mechanisms, in this paper. COG Jacobian is used for the behavior planning and the control of humanoids. And, it usually expresses the relationship between the joints and COG of a robotpsilas whole body. However, in this scheme, itpsilas calculated regarding each link and not the robotpsilas...
