Abstract With the development of artificial intelligence technology, various sectors of industry have developed. Among them, the autonomous vehicle industry has developed considerably, and research on self-driving control systems using artificial intelligence has been extensively conducted. Studies on the use of image-based deep learning to monitor autonomous driving systems have recently been performed. In this paper, we propose an advanced control for a serving robot. A serving robot acts as an autonomous line-follower vehicle that can detect and follow the line drawn on the floor and move in specified directions. The robot should be able to follow the trajectory with speed… More >

Abstract This paper presents the design and implementation of a robotic vision system operated using an interactive Graphical User Interface (GUI) application. As robotics continue to become a more integral part of the industrial complex, there is a need for automated systems that require minimal to no user training to operate. With this motivation in mind, the system is designed so that a beginner user can operate the device with very little instruction. The application allows users to determine their desired object, which will be picked up and placed by a robotic arm into the target location. The application allows users… More >

Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is characterized as a disease caused by a novel coronavirus known as severe acute respiratory coronavirus syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2; formerly known as 2019-nCoV). In December 2019, COVID-19 began to appear in a few countries. By the beginning of 2020, it had spread to most countries across the world. This is when education challenges began to arise. The COVID-19 crisis led to the closure of thousands of schools and universities all over the world. Such a situation requires reliance on e-learning and robotics education for students to continue their studies to avoid the mingling between people… More >

Abstract Technological advances in recent years have significantly changed the way an operating room works. This work aims to create a platform to solve the problems of operating room occupancy and prepare the rooms with an environment that is favorable for all operations. Using this system, a doctor can control all operation rooms, especially before an operation, and monitor their temperature and humidity to prepare for the operation. Also, in the event of a problem, an alert is sent to the nurse responsible for the room and medical stuff so that the problem can be resolved. The platform is tested using… More >

Abstract Robotic grasping is an important issue in the field of robot control. In order to solve the problem of optimal grasping pose of the robotic arm, based on the Generative Grasping Convolutional Neural Network (GG-CNN), a new convolutional neural network called Hybrid Generative Grasping Convolutional Neural Network (HGG-CNN) is proposed by combining three small network structures called Inception Block, Dense Block and SELayer. This new type of convolutional neural network structure can improve the accuracy rate of grasping pose based on the GG-CNN network, thereby improving the success rate of grasping. In addition, the HGG-CNN convolutional neural network structure can… More >

Abstract About 10–20% of every country’s population is disable. There are at least 650 million people with a kind of disability worldwide. Assistance and support are perquisites for many handicap people for participating in society. Electric powered wheelchairs provide efficient mobility to motor impaired persons. In this paper a smart controller of a wheel chair mobile robot using Particle Swarm Optimization Proportional controller (PSO-P) was proposed where (PSO) algorithm was utilized to tune the proportional controller’s gains for each axis. Aiming to improve wheelchair tracking trajectory, a kinematic model of a robot with linear and angular velocities parameters was developed. The… More >

Abstract As the agricultural internet of things (IoT) technology has evolved, smart agricultural robots needs to have both flexibility and adaptability when moving in complex field environments. In this paper, we propose the concept of a vision-based navigation system for the agricultural IoT and a binocular vision navigation algorithm for smart agricultural robots, which can fuse the edge contour and the height information of rows of crop in images to extract the navigation parameters. First, the speeded-up robust feature (SURF) extracting and matching algorithm is used to obtain featuring point pairs from the green crop row images observed by the binocular… More >

Abstract The patients with brain diseases (e.g., Stroke and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)) are often affected by the injury of motor cortex, which causes a muscular weakness. For this reason, they require rehabilitation with continuous physiotherapy as these diseases can be eased within the initial stages of the symptoms. So far, the popular control system for robot-assisted rehabilitation devices is only of two types which consist of passive and active devices. However, if there is a control system that can directly detect the motor functions, it will induce neuroplasticity to facilitate early motor recovery. In this paper, the control system, which… More >

Abstract In order to meet the needs of high-altitude glass curtain wall cleaning, a multi-suction sliding cleaning robot was designed. The sliding robot sucker, cleaning system, obstacle avoidance and rotation ability, walking circuit and mobile working principle of the cleaning robot were designed. This involved the analysis of the robot’s anti-rollover mechanics during adsorption, of robotic winds when working at height, and of anti-sliding mechanics during robot movement, in order to explore feasible ways to improve the robot’s adsorption performance. The relationship between the effective diameter D of the suction cup, the vacuum degree △ P, and the gravity G should… More >

Abstract In this paper we show how the quantum-based particle swarm optimization (QPSO) method is adopted to derive a new derivation for robotics application in search and rescue simulations. The new derivation, called the Quantum Robot Darwinian PSO (QRDPSO) is inspired from another PSO-based algorithm, the Robot Darwinian PSO (RDPSO). This paper includes comprehensive details on the QRDPSO formulation and parameters control which show how the swarm overcomes communication constraints to avoid obstacles and achieve optimal solution. The results show the QRDPSO is an upgrade over RDPSO in terms of convergence speed, trajectory control, obstacle avoidance and connectivity performance of the… More >
