From the second half of the 1990s, thanks to more affordable and more powerful technology and systems for recording based on miniaturized sensors, we can observe a more intensive development of a system that monitors the physical and psychological conditions of soldiers. Systems for measuring of physical and medical data for the diagnostics of physical and psychological state has significantly spread...
In this paper, we proposed an indirect method to measure the distance of an object accurately by single visual cameras using triangulation. The object can be seen as the third point of a triangle with two known sides and one known angle. Distance to object can be determined indirectly on the base of known sides and angle, rather than being measured directly. It would be very useful in case there is...
The article deals with possible usage of current missile guidance systems and methods for unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Well known remote control, homing guidance or go onto location in space guidance (GOLIS) systems can be modified for UAS. Especially remote control and homing guidance systems can be used during the approach and landing phase. Mathematical and theoretical models of the systems were...
The objective of article is to describe a method for signal processing and decision making process of six-legged robots. An important characteristic of six-legged robot is its ability to maintain static stability while walking through terrain with obstacles. That is accomplished by evaluation of its leg position and body state and their adjustment realised by the decision making process. Control system...
The article introduces in detail methods for evaluating movement response of small animals (specifically reptiles and amphibians) to changes in their body orientation. The camera subsystem of revolvable platform offering a record of anatomical angles of body segment movements in space. A gyro accelerometer system allowing for measuring angles of the platform orientation in space. A software has been...
Nowadays, technical schools are facing the problem of how to teach a new generation of engineers. Case studies and practical teaching seems to be very helpful beside interactive courses and e-learning. LEGO Mindstorms, a very common building kit, is widely used for teaching the basic principles of robotics. Even for universities, it offers many possibilities to improve the teaching process. In laboratories...
The paper presents a method to assist the landing of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) on a moving Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV). The measurement of the relative position of the UAV and the UGV is carried out by a cheap USB camera. The paper deals with the list of the difficulties of such a system which have to be taken into account and develop ideas on how to overcome them. The solution of the key...
This article focuses on the ability to use a robot with a low cost 3D Scanner (Kinect) in an indoor environment to do a mapping of different rooms in a building and to be able to localize itself when going back to the same room. This method uses SIFT points (points of interest in images) to be able to reconstruct the environment in 3D and uses these SIFT points to identify the localization of the...
Nowadays mobile teleoperated robots are deployed in many branches of human activities e.g. sea submarine robots, military UGVs, rescue missions. Interpretation of visual information to the human operator is still an issue eventhough the technologies of 3D vision are known. The paper presents results of practical experiments with teleoperated robotic arm where the 3D and 2D vision subsystems were used...
This paper shortly introduces the topic of Research Intention at the Department of AD Systems. Mainly it presents one of the solved problems, specifically initial experiences with the optical distance measurement by single visual camera. It contains the experiment description as well as the result analysis and advice for the future work.
For many complex technical devices the classic feed-back control does not satisfy. Therefore the Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) with progressive the Fault Detection & Isolation (FDI) is applied. The objective of this article is to describe the problem with application of data-based approach into the FDI block. The data-based methods (in our case we talk mainly about classification-based methods)...
