The paper discusses the concept of the integrated safety monitoring system for the human-robot interaction domain. These main elements are the advisory, computer aided expert system, the safety mode controller and the human awareness interface. The introduced approach allows to ensure the required level of safety for the collaborative tasks performance in manufacturing setup within or beyond the robotized...
Recently, one of the main emerging issues in the robotics area is the robotics middleware. We are developing robotics middleware for intelligent mobile robots. In this paper, we provide our architecture model and component interfaces. Our software architecture is concentrated on the intelligent services. Among many research issues in the robotics middleware, component model is an important factor...
Attempts to put robots to practical use have been increased, as robots become more human-friendly. In the human-robot interaction field, main issues are how variously the robot can express its emotion and how much the expression is socially acceptable. This paper proposed the editing toolkit which allows us to simulate a 3D model robot in order to express robot's emotions and intentions for human-robot...
We present a distributed algorithm for solving the rendezvous problem based on the so-called consensus protocols. By using the properties of the consensus protocols we show that our algorithm drives the agents in the formation to a common configuration without the need for the agents to communicate with each other, and with no need for the agents to work in a common reference frame. We also show that...
The paper develops a module based robot system that has multiple functions. The core of these modules is HOLTEK microchip. The system contains many modules that are communication with master module using I2C interface. The master module is communication with main controller using RS232 interface. The main controller of the robot system is industry personal computer (IPC). It can display status of...
A flexible simulation frame based on concept of component is presented. An indoor robots localization simulation environment based on virtual sensors RoboSimer is built with OpenGL. The parameters here are easily adjusted and controlled by customs and the simulation module is easy to integrate. It can integrate any sensors, environment and robot shape into the simulation software. The interfaces of...
Based on indications from the neuroscience and psychology, both perception and action can be internally simulated by activating sensor and motor areas in the brain without external sensory input or without any resulting overt behavior. This hypothesis, however, can be highly useful in the real robot applications. The robot, for instance, can cover some of the corrupted sensory inputs by replacing...
The general idea of ldquoshapingrdquo used by ethology, behavior analysis or animal training is a remarkable method. ldquoShapingrdquo is a general idea that the learner is given a reinforcement signal step by step gradually and inductively forward the behavior from easy tasks to complicated tasks. In this paper, we propose a shaping reinforcement learning method took in a general idea of shaping...
