The trends are reviewed in the development of unmanned transport systems. There is highlighted an increasingly important part of various range vision/location systems. There is described an architecture of the on-board computer network supplying information to the control systems of the mobile vehicles with the enhanced level of independence and totally unmanned. The proposed architecture provides...
This paper proposes to use speech commands for controlling a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV). The control commands for MAV are generated and transmitted through the Ground Control Station (GCS). Setting of values using keyboard and mouse can become cumbersome at the MAV mission site and therefore, speech is an effective alternative. In This paper open source Mission Planner GCS is integrated with the speech...
This paper presents a novel small unmanned aerial system which can operate independently and navigate using visual sensors. The basis of the system is a 600 gram quadrotor platform with sonar, inertial sensors and a camera. All processing is performed onboard the vehicle on a lightweight and powerful computer. Vehicle navigation is provided by a two part system. A Bierman Thornton extended Kalman...
This paper presents a design technique for fuzzy-logic control (FLC) of a moving vehicle in order to avoid collision with obstacles in an unknown environment. The fuzzy system consists of ultrasonic sensors, fuzzy control algorithm, and a battery-driven car. A visual simulation program is constructed to facilitate the development of the linguistic fuzzy rules and to tune the shape of the membership...
Based on the actual project need, a development platform for brake system is developed by making use of Visual C++ 6.0 development tool. The paper introduces the functions, structure, design process as well as some key technology of the development platform in detail. The result of a living example shows that the platform has friendly user interfaces, powerful functions, which will help users get...
The automotive industry comprises a complex network of supply chains which links the manufacturers to their numerous disparate suppliers. In a dynamic and uncertain supply chain environment, flexibility is the major challenge to manufacturers. In this complex network, decentralized and cross-company project management of automotive projects is the requisite mode of operation. Supply chain flexibility...
Combine key point of theory and methods on software engineering, analyzes general method characteristics of art design on software interface, searching the identity method for solving design problems on different subject. Emphasizes that applying functional art design methods to engineering development process, discussed the application ways of the engineering development methods in software interface...
In this paper, we present a method to efficiently manage visual memory for autonomous vehicle navigation in large scale environments. It relies on two crucial issues for real-time navigation: an efficient organisation of the memory and small computational cost. A software platform (SoViN) dedicated to visual memory management and navigation strategies (including vision-based memory building, localization...
This paper presents an architecture to support fast prototyping of augmented reality systems, based on virtual reality. The architecture defines simulation services separated from other aspects of the system. These services support incremental evolution of simulated prototypes into nonsimulated systems. Focus is also placed on user interaction,through the definition of an interaction architecture...
We have developed a browsing tool for visualizing information about geographic surfaces using map-based augmented reality (AR). Map-based AR technology enables virtual objects to be overlaid on an actual map, creating a tangible user interface. In map-based AR applications, a virtual lens pointer is often used for object selection. However, this type of interaction is difficult when there are many...
In automotive software and system design, explicit system and especially software models have found their way into the development process. This paper try to give an overview for what such models have so-far been used and which advantages they brought to vehicle manufacturers and suppliers. Another focus of this paper is the comparison to functional models which are already used in the automotive...
