The robot's key role is to help the man make his work easier, safer, more … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 6 May 2019 · 6,745 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMedical Service of RobotsRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuToday, robots have not only penetrated to create microchips in electronics but also in medicine, where it helps to perform difficult operations, especially where precision is needed and the size is small and any human error could be fatal to the patient. Robots assist the doctor in heart, brain, kidney operations, not to mention bone implants and repair of damaged … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 24 Apr 2019 · 7,542 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSomething about Robots TodayNicolae Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuToday, robots are increasingly present in the machine building industry, sometimes even in some sections to replace workers altogether, due to the high quality of their work, repetitive, without stopping or pausing, without any manufacturing and assembly scuffs. Additionally, robots do not get sick, do not require medical leave or rest, work faster and better than humans and also support … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 19 Jun 2018 · 13,425 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRobot Control Using Natural Instructions Via Visual and Tactile SensationsTakuya Ikai, Shota Kamiya, Masahiro OhkaStress-free interaction between humans and robots is necessary to support humans in daily life. In order to achieve this, we anticipate the development of new robots equipped with tactile and vision sensors for receiving human instructions. In this article, we focus on spontaneous movements that do not require training, such as pointing and force adjustment and that are suitable for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 27 May 2016 · 7,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMobile Robot: SLAM Implementation for Unknown Indoor Environment ExplorationMohamed Emharraf, Mohammed Bourhaleb, Mohammed Saber, Mohammed RahmounThe autonomy is the most crucial criteria in mobile robots. This operation aims to offer the ability of finding the position and build a map of the environment to the robot. Many methods have been proposed to solve this problem. In this study, an implementation of SLAM approach for unknown indoor environment exploring by mobile robot is proposed. In fact, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 26 Mar 2016 · 7,301 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWheeled Mobile Robot Trajectory Tracking using Sliding Mode ControlAzza El-Sayed Bayoumi IbrahimThis paper introduces and discusses a control strategy for nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots. The models of the robots include the kinematic and dynamic equations of motion. Trajectory tracking control problem of parallel wheeled differential drive mobile robot is considered, where the robot should reach the final position by following a referenced trajectory for different initial conditions. A motion control strategy … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2016 · 9,318 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIndustrial Robot Fault Detection Based on Statistical Control ChartAlaa Abdulhady Jaber, Robert BickerIndustrial robots have long been used in production systems in order to improve productivity, quality and safety in automated manufacturing processes. There are significant implications for operator safety in the event of a robot malfunction or failure and an unforeseen robot stoppage due to different reasons has the potential to cause an interruption in the entire production line, resulting in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 29 Feb 2016 · 8,573 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExtended Kalman Filter versus Newton-Lowe's Method for Robot Pose EstimationMohammad Ehab RagabIn this work, we study the pose estimation problem of anautonomous mobile robot. Particularly, we compare the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to Lowe's method based on the iterative Newton's method for solving a system of nonlinear equations. Although the EKF is recursive which renders it suitable for the real-time problem at hand, Lowe's method has much less dimensionality. This is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 5 Nov 2015 · 6,937 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA VISION-BASED TRAVELLED DISTANCE ESTIMATION ALGORITHM IN AN INDOOR ENVIRONMENT USING A MOBILE ROBOTMamadou Diop, Chot Hun Lim, Tien Sze Lim, Lee-Yeng OngAutonomous navigation for a mobile robot still remains as a challenging area to be explored. In an indoor environment, while GPS is unavailable and wheel encoder suffer from error accumulation due to wheel slips, vision-based travelled distance estimation can be considered as an alternative approach for more accurate measurements. This study presents a new algorithm to estimate travelled distance of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 26 Dec 2014 · 8,700 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIMPLEMENTATION OF AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION ALGORITHMS ON TWO-WHEELED GROUND MOBILE ROBOTStephen Armah, Sun Yi, Taher Abu-LebdehThis study presents an effective navigation architecture that combines ’go-to-goal’, ’avoid-obstacle’ and ’follow-wall’ controllers into a full navigation system. A MATLAB robot simulator is used to implement this navigation control algorithm. The robot in the simulator moves to a goal in the presence of convex and non-convex obstacles. Experiments are carried out using a ground mobile robot, Dr Robot X80SV, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 7 Apr 2014 · 9,431 accessesView PDFCite
