INTELLIGENT VISION BASED SNAKE ROBOT

Adding Vision to a Salamander/Snake-Robot

A Distributed Mobile Robot Navigation by Snake Coordinated Vision Sensors

To date research in intelligent mobile agent have mainly focused on the development of a large and smart “brain” to enable robot autonomy (Arkin 2000; Murphy 2000). They are, however, facing a bottleneck of complexity due to the dynamics of the unstructured environments. Steering away from this smart brain approach, this chapter investigates the use of low level intelligence, such as insect eye...

INTELLIGENT CONTROL OF DaNI ROBOT BASED ON ROBOT VISION AND OBJECT RECOGNITION

In order to use the mobile robot platform for tracking particular moving objects it is necessary to develop intelligent top level control algorithm. In this paper a computational intelligence based object recognition algorithm in robot vision system is presented. The main goal of this research was to enable DaNI robot to recognize the particular Lego NXT robot among other differently shaped Leg...

Robot Motion Vision Part II: Implementation

The idea of Fixation introduced a direct method for general recovery of shape and motion from images without using either feature correspondence or optical flow [1,2]. There are some parameters which have important effects on the performance of fixation method. However, the theory of fixation does not say anything about the autonomous and correct choice of those parameters. This paper presents ...

CAD - Based Intelligent Robot

This paper presents a CAD-based intelligent robot workcell that consists of a neural-network-based 3D force/torque sensor, image system, a six-axis industrial robot, CAD package, and database. The capability of the CAD package is extended to provide more useful infomation, such as images, robot path coordinates, etc. A neural-network-based 3D force/torque sensor is developed for solving the unc...
