An inspection robot needs the ability to move freely on transmission lines. However, these lines may contain various obstacles. Therefore, a new structure that would allow inspection robots to easily pass these obstacles is necessary. In this study, inspection robot is designed that moves on a four-conductor transmission line. Using the structure of the robots used for exploration on Mars as reference,...
In this paper, we propose an formation-keeping and changing methods for outdoor multiple mobile robots in chained form. The proposed method is designed to maintain the follower to its desired distance and orientation with respect to the pole using the concept of virtual force such as potential field. We use the centralized system and the client robots use the behavior-based control to perform kinematic...
This paper describes the method of formation keeping and cooperative localization of multiple robots with panoramic view. It is to estimate a location of robot in panoramic image with 360 field of view horizontally and then to compute the relative distance between the robots by triangulation. This method is able to control predefined formation when a robot extracts other robot and landmark in panoramic...
A method to regenerate a new human-like arm motion by modifying and scaling a human arm motion is presented. The humanoid robot may not obtain all the necessary human-like motions from motion capture data. When the robot communicates with a person, the robot has to keep attention to the person by aligning the direction of the motion. The robot needs to modify human arm motions and regenerate new human-like...
Network-based distributed processing and hard real-time requirement significantly increase the complexity of a robot hardware and software system. This paper describes the open and modular approach to design and implement a real-time robot control system using open source software (OSS) which include a Linux-based real-time operating system (RTOS), Xenomai (formerly known as the fusion branch of real...
