Abstract:
This paper presents a facial expressions recognition system to command both mobile and arm robot. The proposed system mainly consists of two modules: facial expressions recognition and robots command. The first module aims to extract the ROI (Region Of Interest like: mouth, eyes, eyebrow) using Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) snake segmentation and the Euclidian distance calculation (compatible with the MPEG-4 description of the six universal emotions). To preserve the temporal aspect of the processing from FEEDTUM database (video file), Time Delay Neural Network (TDNN) is used as classifier of the universal facial expressions such as happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, fear, disgust and neutral. While the second module, analyzes recognized facial expressions and translates them into a language to communicate with robots by establishing command law.

Abstract:
The soft robot is a kind of continuum robot, which is mainly made of soft elastic material or malleable material. It can be continuously deformed in a limited space, and can obtain energy in large bending or high curvature distortion. It has obvious advantages such as high security of human-computer interaction, strong adaptability of unstructured environment, high driving efficiency, low maintenance cost, etc. It has wide application prospects in the fields of industrial production, defense military, medical rehabilitation, exploration, and so on. From the perspective of the bionic mechanism, this paper introduces the soft robots corresponding to insect crawling, snake crawling, fish swimming, elephant trunk, arm, etc. According to different driving modes, the soft robots can be classified into pneumatic-hydraulic driven, intelligent material driven, chemical reaction driven, and so on. The mechanical modeling, control strategy, material, and manufacturing methods of soft robot are summarized, and the application fields of soft robot are introduced. This paper analyzes the main challenges faced by the research on the key technologies of soft robots, summarizes and analyzes them, and puts forward the prospects for the future research of soft robots. The development trend of the future is to develop the soft robot with the characteristics of micro-scale, rigid-flexible coupling, variable stiffness, multi-functional, high integration, and intelligence of driving sensor control.

Abstract:
The article designs the multiple pattern formation controls of the multi-robot system according to two arms’ gesture of the player, and uses flood fill searching algorithm and A* searching algorithm to program the motion paths. The inertia module detects two arms’ gesture of the player. We use the inertia module to be embedded in the two arms, and use mobile robots to present the movement scenario of pattern formation exchange on the grid based motion platform. We have been developed some pattern formations applying in the war game, such as rectangle pattern formation, long snake pattern formation, L pattern formation, sword pattern formation, cone pattern formation and so on. We develop the user interface for variety pattern formation exchange according to the minimum displacement on the supervised computer. The mobile robot receives the command from the supervised compute, and transmits the status of environment to the supervised computer via wireless RF interface. Players can use variety arms’ gesture to control the multiple mobile robots to executed pattern formation exchange. In the experimental results, the supervised computer can decides the arm gesture using fusion algorithms. Mobile robots can receive the pattern formation command from the supervised computer, and change the original pattern formation to the assigned pattern formation on the motion platform, and avoid other mobile robots.

Abstract:
Purpose The following article is a “Q&A interview” conducted by Joanne Pransky of Industrial Robot journal as a method to impart the combined technological, business and personal experience of a prominent, robotic industry engineer-turned successful business leader, regarding the commercialization and challenges of bringing technological inventions to market while overseeing a company. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach The interviewee is Dr Rob Buckingham, Director at UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and Robotics Pioneer. Dr Buckingham is an innovator of snake-arm robotics for confined and hazardous environments. In this interview, Dr Buckingham shares some of his 30+ year personal and business experiences of working in industry, academia, co-founding and directing a robotics company and heading up a new UK government-funded organization for remote handling. Findings Dr Buckingham received his BSc and his MEng in the Special Engineering Programme at Brunel University in London. The program’s objective was to train engineers for the industry by developing problem-solving abilities and decision-making skills of students, which Buckingham accomplished while being sponsored by the UKAEA and as a National Engineering Scholar. After obtaining his PhD in robotics at the University of Bristol, Buckingham, he remained at Bristol for two years as a lecturer in mechanical engineering. In 1997, he co-founded OC Robotics, a private company that designs snake-arm robots specifically to operate in confined spaces. Buckingham directed OC until 2014, when he returned to where he began his early career, UKAEA Culham, this time as a Director and Head of the new Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE) Centre. Under Buckingham’s leadership, RACE is involved in exploring many areas of remote operations, including inspection, maintenance and decommissioning and will be instrumental in developing new remote tools and techniques for academia and industry. Originality/value With the unique experience of studying at a university’s distinctive engineering program while working as a young engineer for the UKAEA who sponsored him, Dr Buckingham found his lifelong passion and career in robotics for remote handling. He was one of the creators of the emerging field of snake-arm robotics. He is now applying his innovative, commercial technologies and strategies from working in the nuclear, aerospace, construction and petrochemicals sectors to the industry of nuclear fusion. Dr Buckingham was awarded The Royal Academy of Engineering Silver Medal in 2009. In the same year, his company OC Robotics won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the category of Innovation. Buckingham is also a Fellow of the UK Institute of Engineering Technology, a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and a visiting professor at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory. He was co-chair of the Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) Special Interest Group Steering Group during the preparation of the influential UK RAS strategy, which has since been adopted by UK Government.

Abstract:
During the 2003 outage at the Ringhals Nuclear Plant in Sweden, a leak was found in the vicinity of a Control Rod Drive Mechanism (CRDM) housing nozzle at Unit 1. Based on the ALARA principle for radioactive contamination, a unique repair process was developed. The repair system includes utilization of custom, remotely controlled GTAW-robots, a CNC cutting and finishing machine, snake-arm robots and NDE equipment. The success of the repair solution was based on performing the machining and welding operations from the inside of the SCRAM pipe through the CRDM housing since accessibility from the outside was extremely limited. Before the actual pipe replacement procedure was performed, comprehensive training programs were conducted. Training was followed by certification of equipment, staff and procedures during qualification tests in a full scale mock-up of the housing nozzle. Due to the ingenuity of the overall repair solution and training programs, the actual pipe replacement procedure was completed in less than half the anticipated time. As a result of the successful pipe replacement, the nuclear power plant was returned to normal operation.
