This paper presents an approach to model Twin Rotor MIMO System (TRMS). For simplicity, the model is separated into three channels: vertical, horizontal, and cross-coupling channels. A hybrid method, a cooperation between first principle method and optimal algorithm, is used to analyse and model the system. Unknown parameters of the model are estimated by physical experiments and Genetic Algorithm...
Since 2007, the emerging wireless technologies for industrial applications such as wireless highway addressable remote transducer (WirelessHART), and ISA100.11a have been used mainly for process monitoring application only. When gearing toward control application of these technologies a common factor that often being considered is network latency or known as delay. Although the typical network round...
In order to ensure that a robotic hand can successfully grasp objects without damaging them, an active compliance control can be a very useful technique to provide a safe grasping. In particular, this paper establishes a direct force control for a 3-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper by using a PID control. A modified FSR force sensor where a plastic cover is used to ensure the contacted force during grasping...
This paper gives an insight on the design and development of a mobile measurement device to measure the elbow joint movement of a Badminton player. Badminton is one of the fastest racket-based sport. Since a human eye alone is not capable of capturing all these fast movements the usage of high processing optometric system became a popularity but the downside is these systems are expensive and large...
This paper presents a comparative study and analysis of different neural network architectures of which one will be recommended towards adoption for developing a prediction model for gas metering system. Thus, the focus of this paper is to select the most suitable neural network architecture for gas metering system prediction model. A few neural networks architecture are modeled and simulated; Radial...
A hand home-based rehabilitation system which is interactive, portable and affordable, equipped with the ability in qualitative and quantitative diagnosis on muscle performance and strength is reported in this paper. The therapy system utilizes the concept of game-based therapy which aims to develop interest of patient. The hardware input module has a compact joypad input design with wireless connectivity...
The aim of this paper is to present a robust and a reliable methodology based on concurrent evaluation of Identification Marks for Automotive Glass. The proposed methodology is modeled using Petri Nets and a test implementation of the algorithm was successfully achieved to evaluate a set of samples.
The development of big data analytics in recent years has enabled wide use of analysis tools such as R in various industries including robotics and automation. Its most recent reported application for data analysis is limited to only a small dataset and the processing time was not reported. Thus, this work proposes a fast approach for automatic data retrieval using R, a powerful programming language...
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) complexity reduction is a fast progressing research area. Its attraction is owed to the potential commercial benefits of developing low cost yet highly effective SLAM based robotic applications. ROS gmapping package offers a lightweight incorporation of FastSLAM 2.0. The package has been used with different ROS supported robotic platforms and showed remarkable...
Human-robot interaction (HRI) is an interaction technology which breaks the communication boundaries between humans and robots. HRI research is usually carried out using expensive robots. This has become a limitation in this research area. This study developed a programmed interaction by hacking My Keepon, a toy like-robot to interact with kindergarten children. Feedback on My Keepon features that...
In this paper, we have introduced how autonomous robots would benefit from improvements in haptic intelligence and overview of telerobotics systems. In the real world, we want robots to help to perform tasks in the remote environment. This paper also accentuates the synergy between the human operator and a robot and has various applications in healthcare, medicines, entertainment, education, graphic...
In this paper, the plantar pressure distribution and the center of pressure movement were studied and gait stability of high heels versus normal heels was observed. A group of ten young female participants without any previous lower limbs injuries were asked to wear shoes of different heel heights, namely, 0cm, 2cm and 4cm and walk at a speed of 3km/hr on a treadmill. The pressure that their body...
Socially Assistive Robotics (SAR) is an emerging field of research focused on assisting people through social interaction. Nowadays, attention has been paid on socially assistive robots that mediate communication and social exchange, especially for people with disabilities. Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common neurological disorder among children that impairs motor function and may involve cognitive dysfunction...
For everyday inspection jobs in offshore oil and gas industry, the human divers are being replaced by underwater vehicles. This paper proposes a visual feedback based control of an autonomous underwater vehicle for pipeline inspection. The hydrodynamic disturbances in water severely affect the movement of the vehicle resulting in performance degrading. The heading of the autonomous underwater vehicle...
One of the challenges in automatic facial emotion recognition nowadays is the ability to handle with complicated environment conditions such as in the presence of partial occlusions of facial images. To address this issue, therefore this paper proposed to investigate the effect of facial emotion recognition in the presence of partially occluded images using empirical mode decomposition (EMD). EMD...
A resonant scanner consists of torsional spring, suspended plate and magnets was developed for light dispersion applications. The preliminary scanner has low frequency response due to heavy weight of the suspended plate material, thus higher moment of inertia obtained. Four polymer-based materials were chosen as the materials for the suspended plate due to lighter weight. The suspended plate with...
High risk and dangerous post disaster recovery operation requires the use of heavy vehicle tele-operation. This study deals with tele-operated electro-hydraulic actuator system or T-EHA for the operation of construction vehicle tele-operation that focuses on a robotic system to remotely control a mini excavator. The current development of the system, from design, simulation and control aspects of...
A mobile robot is designed to pick and place the objects through voice commands. This work would be practically useful to wheelchair bound persons. The pick and place robot is designed in a way that it is able to help the user to pick up an item that is placed at two different levels using an extendable arm. The robot would move around to pick up an item and then pass it back to the user or to a desired...
