چکیده
We have developed a novel control mechanism that deploys a large number of inexpensive robots as a distributed remote sensing array, called a Distributed Robotic Macrosensor (DRM). A simple virtual spring mesh abstraction is used to provide fully distributed control that is both flexible and fault-tolerant. We describe and evaluate several algorithms for virtual spring mesh–based control and present simulation results demonstrating the efficacy of the spring mesh approach.

متن کاملScalable Control of Distributed Robotic Macrosensors
This paper describes a control mechanism by which large numbers of inexpensive robots can be deployed as a distributed remote sensing instrument, and in which the desired large-scale properties of the sensing instrument emerge from the simple pair-wise interactions of its component robots. Such sensing instruments are called distributed robotic macrosensors. Robots in the macrosensor interact w...
متن کاملControl of a Robotic Wheel-Chair Prototype for People with Walking Disabilities
In this paper we present a system that could be used to help people with walking disabilities. A system consists of a prototype mobile robot platform equipped with a control board and a remote computer system, running with image processing algorithms, was used to develop a system for physically disabled human to move freely in an environment. We used a camera to get visual information by a huma...
متن کاملDistributed and Cooperative Compressive Sensing Recovery Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks with Bi-directional Incremental Topology
Recently, the problem of compressive sensing (CS) has attracted lots of attention in the area of signal processing. So, much of the research in this field is being carried out in this issue. One of the applications where CS could be used is wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The structure of WSNs consists of many low power wireless sensors. This requires that any improved algorithm for this appli...
متن کاملDesigning a new robust control for virtual inertia control in the microgrid with regard to virtual damping
Background and Objectives: Virtual inertia control, as a component of a virtual synchronous generator, is used for the implementation of synchronous generator behaviour in microgrids. In microgrids that include high-capacity distributed generation resources, in addition to virtual inertia, virtual damping can also lead to improvement of frequency stability of the microgrid. The purpose of the c...
