Technical Note: Mobile accelerator guidance using an optical tracker during docking in IOERT procedures

Trajectory Tracking of a Mobile Robot Using Fuzzy Logic Tuned by Genetic Algorithm (TECHNICAL NOTE)

In recent years, soft computing methods, like fuzzy logic and neural networks have been  presented and developed for the purpose of mobile robot trajectory tracking. In this paper we will present a fuzzy approach to the problem of mobile robot path tracking for the CEDRA rescue robot with a complicated kinematical model. After designing the fuzzy tracking controller, the membership functions an...

An Optical Range Sensor for Mobile Robot Guidance

W e describe the development of a large f ie ld of v iew laser scanning sensor, based on the lateral-eflect photodiode, f o r short range mobile roboi manoeuvres such a s obstacle avoidance and docking. Synchronous detect ion is used t o approach the theoretical l imit of sensor performance. Resul ts suggest that w e are only 82% above this l imit , allowing us t o ez tend the use of lateral ef...

Estimating Reliability in Mobile ad-hoc Networks Based on Monte Carlo Simulation (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Each system has its own definition of reliability. Reliability in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) could be interpreted as, the probability of reaching a message from a source node to destination, successfully. The variability and volatility of the MANET configuration makes typical reliability methods (e.g. reliability block diagram) inappropriate. It is because, no single structure or configurat...

Investigation on the Effect of Different Parameters in Wheeled Mobile Robot Error (TECHNICAL NOTE)

This article has focused on evaluation and identification of effective parameters in positioning performance with an odometry approach of an omni-directional mobile robot. Although there has been research in this field, but in this paper, a new approach has been proposed for mobile robot in positioning performance. With respect to experimental investigations of different parameters in omni-dire...
