Many realistic problem domains are composed of heterogeneous tasks distributed in a physical environment. A team of mobile agents has to autonomously allocate these tasks, navigate to them and finally execute them. Recently auctions have been used for task allocation among homogeneous agents. Less studied is the case of allocation where both the tasks and the agents are heterogeneous in nature. In...
A dynamic environment is one in which either the obstacles or the goal or both are in motion. In most of the current research, robots attempting to navigate in dynamic environments use reactive systems. Although reactive systems have the advantage of fast execution and low overheads, the tradeoff is in performance in terms of the path optimality. Often, the robot ends up tracking the goal, thus following...
Localization and mapping in robotics are preliminary but challenging problems. A learning approach must be followed by a robot to understand its environment and perform data association before it accomplishes any other tasks. In this paper, we describe a novel combination of techniques to map the environmental boundaries traced by the robot and localize it inside the bounded region. This is an effort...
The best node selection problem, that distinguishes a node with the best state among multiply connected nodes, is one of the fundamental problem in robotics. However, a systematic solution has not been proposed by its ambiguity characteristics. To make the problem tractable, we reduce the scope of the original problem. Then, we suggest a novel index that systematically judges a required time step...
Herds of livestock, when left to their own devices, will forage for food in predictable patterns, and will often overgraze preferred areas while leaving other areas untouched. The field of grazing management looks to improve the efficiency of land use by moving the animals through different pastures at regular intervals, akin to coverage algorithms used in robotics but with non-uniform coverage and...
Medical robotic applications are increasing in operation rooms. It is necessary to select, locate and program appropriate robots for medical operations. SolidWorks and CosmosMotion controlled by the modeling and motion simulation programs created in VisualBASIC in this study are used for this purpose. The designer prepares the model input file which contains the information about the selected units...
Nowadays in embedded system design it is essential to use Hardware/Software (HW/SW) co-design. This paper is about the development of an autonomic mobile navigation with HW/SW co-design. We managed to design such a system that won the first prize at one of the greatest Mars rover competitions in Hungary. The paper demonstrates how to keep the project costs and system design process time low with this...
Modular component-based robot systems require not only an infrastructure for component management, but also scalability as well as real-time properties. Robot technology (RT)-middleware is a software platform for such component-based robot systems. Each component in the RT-Middleware, so-called "RT-component'' supporting particular robot functions, is based on common object request broker architecture...
The proposal of this paper is demonstrating the simplicity to develop a real control position action over a platform on mobile vehicle using two different discrete controllers. The mechanical structure is depicted and the range of work operation. The characterization is based on an accelerometer in the X axis. The mathematical analysis of these controllers, classic control discrete PID and the second...
South Asian countries are full of rivers, and big/small boat is an important vehicle for communication in many places. It is an unavoidable issue to rescue the people when they fall on danger for any natural and/or man-made cause. Water vehicle shows better efficacy instead of air vehicle for developing countries. Therefore, the basic principles and methods towards an automated rescue system is outlined...
