This work introduces an autonomous jumping robot, capable of moving over the ground, and identifying obstacles as well as jumping over stairs. The robot could be employed to patrol in a building subject to stairs. The robot requires fast autonomous motion and makes use of novel jumping mechanisms to be fit into small-packed volume, reducing the weight enough to be held on human's hand. Several sensors...
In this paper, we have attempted forearm movement tracking in 3-D by estimating joint angles of a forearm with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) consisting of a tri-axis accelerometer and gyroscope sensors. As the feedback of the forearm motion tracking, we have implemented a 3-D digital forearm model based on the kinematic chain theory utilizing super-quadric surfaces and joints, and attempted to...
This paper proposes a multi-layered architecture of middleware for ubiquitous robots. Ubiquitous robots consist of different platforms with various functions and interfaces. Without a middleware, software agents have to hold information of all ubiquitous robots in advance to access other sensors or mobile robots. This decreases modularity and scalability of the entire system, therefore makes it difficult...
Genetic robot is one of artificial creatures and has its own genome in which each chromosome consists of many genes that contribute to defining its personality. By using the concept of genetic robot, this paper proposes personalized robotic doll by applying evolutionary process to generate unique propensity, defined by its genome. A genome population is evolved such that it customizes the genome satisfying...
