A hybrid approach for haptics-based intelligent assembly planning

A Fabric-Based Approach for Wearable Haptics

In recent years, wearable haptic systems (WHS) have gained increasing attention as a novel and exciting paradigm for human–robot interaction (HRI). These systems can be worn by users, carried around, and integrated in their everyday lives, thus enabling a more natural manner to deliver tactile cues. At the same time, the design of these types of devices presents new issues: the challenge is the...

A skill-based approach towards hybrid assembly

Efficient cooperation of humans and industrial robots is based on a common understanding of the task as well as the perception and understanding of the partner’s action in the next step. In this article, a hybrid assembly station is presented, in which an industrial robot can learn new tasks from worker instructions. The learned task is performed by both the robot and the human worker together ...

Intelligent planning - a decomposition and abstraction based approach

This is a review of the book Intelligent Planning: A Decomposition and Abstraction Based Approach by Qiang Yang [45], a book focused on classical planning. In recent years, the classical approach to planning has been challenged by many authors (e.g., [1,2,8,11,17,18]). The question is whether its fundamental assumptions and complexity make it of any use in real world applications. The arguments...

An Intelligent Hybrid Approach for Content-Based Image Retrieval

The paper presents an intelligent hybrid approach for content-based image retrieval based on texture feature. The proposed approach employs an Auto–Associative Neural Network (AANN) for feature extraction and a Multi–Layer Perceptron (MLP) with a single hidden layer for the classification. Two intelligent approaches such as AANN–MLP and statistical–MLP were investigated. The performance of the ...
