Spinoza: A Stereoscopic Visually Guided Mobile Robot

Our mobile robot Spinoza embodies a sophisticated real time vision system for control of a mobile robot in a dynamic environment The complexity of our robot architecture arises from the wide variety of tasks that need to be performed and the resulting chal lenge of coordinating multiple distributed concurrent processes on a diverse range of processor architec tures including Transputers digital...

A Transformational Approach Applied to Outage Management of Nuclear Power Plants - System Sciences, 1997, Proceedings of the Thirtieth Hwaii International Conference on

W e report on a successful project for transference of advanced planning and scheduling technology for outage management, a collaboration between Rome Laboratory, the Electrical Power Research Institute, Kam a n Science; and Kestrel Institute, as part of DOD’s dual-use program.

In Proceedings of the Symposium on Intelligent Robotic Systems Sirs'97 Stockholm, Swede Visually-guided Navigation of a Mobile Robot in a Structured Environment

This paper presents the application of the Visual Servoing technique for a mobile robot which must execute coordinate motions in a known indoor environment. Our contribution concerns especially the execution of a path expressed as a sequence of several basic motions (like Go to an object, Follow a wall, Turn around a corner,.. .): each one is a visually-guided movement. Namely the robot is cont...

Effective Mechatronic Models and Methods for Implementation an Autonomous Soccer Robot

  Omni directional mobile robots have been popularly employed in several applications especially in soccer player robots considered in Robocup competitions. However, Omni directional navigation system, Omni-vision system and solenoid kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. This situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensi...
