Robotic Detection of Squats in Rails
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the design of crack finding robot for finding cracks in railway tracks. Here PIC16F877A microcontroller is interfaced with Robot, Zigbee, GPS, LCD and IR sensors. The IR sensors are used to find crack in the railway track, and then GPS is used to find the location. If the microcontroller detects the crack, it immediately gets the location information using GPS and sends that location and crack information to the control section. The control section displays the location in map. The LCD is used to display the current status of this system. Keywords— Robot, Zigbee, GPS, IR Sensors, LCD, PIC Microcontroller

Applying Frequency Response method for contact Rails Fault Diagnosing in Ungrounded Electrical Railway System
Abstract General faults in regular electrical railways system could be detect by implementing the specific protection functions such as ground fault or sensitive earth fault. Otherwise, in ungrounded electrical railway systems which using both feeding and return contact rail at the same time, fault detection cannot done with above-mentioned function. Due to recent growth in electrical railway ...
متن کاملSquare Joints in Railway Track Waves
When rails are laid in a railway track, small gaps are left between the ends of adjoining rails to allow for the expansion of the rails when the temperature rises. Rail joints are provided to form a continuous rail path which are normally laid in standard lengths bolted together by fishplates. When two rail joints are exactly opposing each other, they are called square

متن کاملTumor Detection and Morphology Assessment in the Liver Tissue Using an Automatic Tactile Robot
In this paper an automatic examination robot was developed to improve the process of cancer detection, tumor localization and geometrical shape diagnosis. A uniformly distributed compressive load was applied to the top tissue surface and the resultant mechanical stress was measured that was employed for the tumor diagnosis task. The experimental examinations were performed on the soft tissue of...
متن کاملAn LPV Approach to Sensor Fault Diagnosis of Robotic Arm
One of the major challenges in robotic arms is to diagnosis sensor fault. To address this challenge, this paper presents an LPV approach. Initially, the dynamics of a two-link manipulator is modelled with a polytopic linear parameter varying structure and then by using a descriptor system approach and a robust design of a suitable unknown input observer by means of pole placement method along w...
