Across a wide range of industries and applications, robotics and autonomous systems can fulfil crucial and challenging tasks such as inspection, exploration, monitoring, drilling, sampling and mapping in areas of scientific discovery, disaster prevention, human rescue and infrastructure management etc. However, in many situations, the associated environment is either too dangerous or inaccessible...
The application of robotics and autonomous systems in space has increased dramatically. The ongoing Mars rover mission involving the Curiosity rover, along with the success of its predecessors, is a key milestone that showcases the existing capabilities of robotic technology. Nevertheless, there has still been a heavy reliance on human tele-operators to drive these systems. Reducing the reliance on...
A systematic method is developed to select the optimal combination of solutions for each function module existing in a pre-defined Product Function Model (PFM). Based on the definition of three fundamental modes for constructing a PFM, any PFM generated from customer requirements could be transformed into a uniform series-connection format. Then, Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is introduced to model the...
