Abstract:

A simulation software package (UFLibrary) implementing the utility function (UF) method for behavior selection in autonomous robots, is introduced and described by means of an example involving a simple exploration robot equipped with a repertoire of five different behaviors. The UFLibrary (as indeed the UF method itself) is aimed at providing a rapid yet reliable and generally applicable procedure for generating behavior selection systems for autonomous robots, while at the same time minimizing the amount of hand-coding related to the activation of behaviors. It is demonstrated how the UFLibr

The ability of human symbiosis robots to communicate is indispensable for their coexistence with humans, so studies on the interaction between humans and robots are important. In this paper, we propose amodel robot self-sufficiency system that empathizes with human emotions, a model in which we apply the urge system to an autonomous system of emotions. We carry out simulation experiments on this model and verify the psychological interaction between the software robot and its users.

This paper describes an algorithm, inspired by the intelligent property of a slim mold, for adaptive formation transitions of a robot group composed of autonomous, non-labeled robots.

Each individual robot is equipped with a nonlinear oscillator and a simple communication system realized by flashing LEDs.

This study proposes the use of a split covariance intersection algorithm (Split-CI) for decentralized multirobot cooperative localization.

Abstract:

Autonomous mobile robots require an efficient navigation system in order to navigate from one location to another location fast and safe without hitting static or dynamic obstacles. A light-detection-and-ranging (LiDAR) based autonomous robot navigation is a multi-component navigation system consists of various parameters to be configured. With such structure and sometimes involving conflicting parameters, the process of determining the best configuration for the system is a non-trivial task. This work presents an optimisation method using Genetic algorithm (GA) to configure such navigation sy

Abstract:

This article deals with the reactive control of an autonomous robot, which moves safely in a crowded real-world unknown environment and reaches a specified target by avoiding static as well as dynamic obstacles. The inputs to the proposed neural controller consist of left, right, and front obstacle distance to its locations and the target angle between a robot and a specified target acquired by an array of sensors. A four-layer neural network has been used to design and develop the neural controller to solve the path and time optimization problem of mobile robots, which deals with cognitive ta

Abstract:

In recent years, autonomous robots become to be desired to treat multi-task. A robot must decide a concrete action for plural objectives. Major researches try to realize this by weighted rewards. Weighted rewards can represent a human's intention easily. But weight of each task must change dynamically by a change of surrounding situation or of a robot status. Authors consider an independent learning for each task and selection of one concrete action from candidates of each learning. Authors propose a priority function to calculate priority for each task corresponding to surrounding situation o

Abstract:

With the increasing complexity of robotic systems, system robustness and efficiency are harder to achieve, since they are determined by the interplay of all of a system’s components. In order to improve the robustness of such systems, it is essential to identify the system components that are crucial for each task and the extent to which they are affected by other components and the environment. Such knowledge will help developers to improve their systems, and can also be directly utilized by the systems themselves, for example, to detect failures and thereby correctly adjust the system’s beha

Abstract The autonomous navigation of robots in unknown environments is a challenge since it needs the integration of a several subsystems to implement different functionality. It needs drawing a map of the environment, robot map localization, motion planning or path following, implementing the path in real-world, and many others; all have to be implemented simultaneously. Thus, the development of autonomous robot navigation (ARN) problem is essential for the growth of the robotics field of research.

The collaborative tasks are carried out in a semi-autonomous way and are intended to be put into operation in real working environments where humans and robots should share the same space. Before presenting the control strategy, the kinematic model and a simplified dynamic model of the robot are presented. All the models and algorithms are verified by several simulations

Superior analysis and simulation systems play an important part in robotics and mechatronics R&D. Developing apparatuses involves repeating planning, trial manufacture, experiments, analysis, and improvement. Simulation and analysis are now executed before trial manufacture, decreasing the number of trial manufacture, shortening development, and cutting development cost. Virtual reality is often applied to simulation, and commercialization without trial manufactures will eventually be possible. Most commercialized simulation software are being improved for general use based on software mad

This paper proposes a novel motion planning method for an autonomous ground mobile robot to address dynamic surroundings, nonlinear program, and robust optimization problems. A planner based on the recurrent fuzzy neural network (RFNN) is designed to program trajectory and motion of mobile robots to reach target. And, obstacle avoidance is achieved. In RFNN, inference capability of fuzzy logic and learning capability of neural network are combined to improve nonlinear programming performance. A recurrent frame with self-feedback loops in RFNN enhances stability and robustness of the structure.

A method for behavioural organization for autonomous robots, based on evolutionary optimization of utility functions, is introduced and illustrated through several simulation examples. The method is shown to be efficient in generating behavioural organization systems that are both flexible and robust to noise. With this method, the amount of hand-tuning of parameters is minimized and, in principle, the user is only required to define fitness functions for the behaviours directly related to the task of the robot. The utility functions representing the beliefs and intentions of the robot are, in

Accurate kinematic models are essential for effective control of surgical robots. For tendon driven robots, which are common for minimally invasive surgery, the high nonlinearities in the transmission make modelling complex. Machine learning techniques are a preferred approach to tackle this problem. However, surgical environments are rarely structured, due to organs being very soft and deformable, and unpredictable, for instance, because of fluids in the system, wear and break of the tendons that lead to changes of the system’s behaviour. Therefore, the model needs to quickly adapt. In this w
