Japanese government plans to host a robot competition, World Robot Summit(WRS), in 2020 aiming to promote robot innovation. WRS involves three categories; (1)industrial, (2)service, and (3)disaster robotics categories. In this paper, the tasks of the disaster robotics category of WRS are introduced, and the consideration of robot innovation promotion with the WRS tasks is carried out.
Our article deals with the development of a robotic arm with “open control system” (for this particular application — with two degrees of freedom and possibility to add). The open control system allows, together with the known parameters of our robotic arm, to use advanced control methods. The robotic arm is controlled by a PLC and automatically generated code via tools — BR Target for Simulink. This...
The modern society is now fully dependent upon technology and the technological approach has brought a revolutionary change in each and every field. This paper proposes a multipurpose robot to be used in the battle field. The robot contains Raspberry Pi which acts as a client, packs a video camera for live video streaming, mapping and gripper for disposal of explosives, a Wi-Fi module for controlling...
This paper focuses on solving the problem of determining relative poses of the N cooperative sensors which include both mobile and stationary, along with position of targets. In the proposed approach, multi robots in a sensor network cooperate with each other in order to localize the position of each target and guide the robot to its assigned target position. The relative poses of neighboring sensors...
In this paper, we describe a static analysis approach to detect potential runtime errors for a programming language that is used to program industrial robots. The language we deal in this paper is RAPID, a high level programming language for programming ABB industrial robots. The presence of real-time interrupts, exception handlers and complex data-types makes it a difficult language for general purpose...
Automation is the only humane way to increase labor productivity in the country. The control theory of automation invariant to technological operation types, an invariant model and automation capabilities frontier are discussed. The connection between the cost of a robot and the production automation of its components is analyzed. The robotic system, which is the main instrument of industrial automation,...
Novel robot technologies are becoming available to automate more complex tasks, more flexibly, and collaborating with humans. Methods and tools are needed in the automation and robotics industry to develop and integrate this new breed of robotic systems. In this paper, the ISE&PPOOA methodology for Model-Based Systems Engineering is applied for the development of robotic systems. The methodology...
For 2D visual applications, using template matching algorithm to identify objects is difficult to get accurate matching results. Because the traditional template matching algorithm is based on gray-scale correlation, it is sensitive to rotation, illumination variation and noise. By improving the classical Canny operator, obtain the precise edge feature image. Employ the binarization to feature image...
In this paper, a radial basis function neural network was used to solve the robot arm with 4 DOF of a self-designed service robot. Firstly, the D-H model was established for the manipulator and the analysis of forward kinematics was carried out, and the transition relation between the connecting rod coordinates was obtained. Then, according to this relationship, the sample data from joint space to...
The continuous development of Internet of Things brings new tools in different areas of robotics, for example in the robotics of services. This document presents a low-cost alternative for a mobile explorer robot that uses open hardware and software, whose design is intended to incorporate cameras, sensors and other peripherals to be able to inspect its environment in addition to being controlled...
This paper presents the biological control for a radially free distributed hexapod robot. The CPG(central pattern generators) network consists of six CPG units based on Hopf neural oscillator that used to generate rhythmic oscillatory signals for the end trajectories of legs. The ring-type network topology of CPG network that consists of six CPG units is established. By computing the inverse kinematics,...

Industrial mechanical arm is widely used in aircraft manufacturing such as aircraft skin drilling and riveting. However, due to the open-loop controlling of the mechanical arm, the positioning precision cannot meet the high accuracy requirement in aircraft manufacturing. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel automatic tracking approach by using monocular vision technology. Due to the uncertain attitude...
This article relates the experience of a training process on Teaching Programming for vulnerable children and adolescents at social risk, who attend community eaters in neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city of La Plata. In these organizations, in addition to breakfast and lunch, they are offered school attendance in different subjects using the computer as a tool. Since 2007, advanced student...
The block-based approach to programming is an effective way to engage young learners in programming and the powerful ideas of computing. In this paper, we explore the potential of using this same approach in a very different programming context: industrial robotics. Using a customized language built with the Blockly library, we created a block-based interface for programming a one-armed industrial...
This article describes the embedded control system for a tracked robot based on a single-board computer. This system was developed for educational purposes and for rapid prototyping of small mobile robots software.

This paper is focused on a complex robotic process called bin-picking. It is a very known and well-researched topic in the field of robotic manipulation where the robot is expected to grasp non-oriented objects from a bin and placed them to locations within the following process flow. Although we present here a functional case study of a bin-picking system based on a modified revolving vision system,...
Machine vision makes robots more intelligent, but most Cartesian robots rely on manual programming to perform operations.
