in this paper, the important formation control problem of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots is investigated via a leader-follower strategy. to this end, the dynamics model of the considered wheeled mobile robot is derived using lagrange equations of motion. then, using adams multi-body simulation software, the obtained dynamics of the wheeled system in matlab software is verified. after that, ...

This paper is concerned with high level control of robot systems. We abstract the robot system as a discrete event system and give a high level controller which consists of an LLP supervisor and a Petri nets model. We give its simple application to a mobile robot system.

Societies are formed as collaborative structures to execute tasks which are not possible or are difficult for individuals alone. There are many types of biological societies formed by animals, but societies formed by machines or robots are still rare. This paper introduces the concept of an application oriented robot society formed by autonomous underwater robots. This bacterium robot society i...

This paper presents the use of a modified ant colony optimization algorithm and interactive web technologies for the problems of real-time path planning and navigation for an autonomous mobile robot. Assume that the mobile robot serves in an office building for delivering documents and packages, and all staff in different locations can assign tasks to the robot via a web-based application. Ther...

We have developed PRactical INTElligent aPplicationS (PRINTEPS) which is a platform for developing comprehensive intelligence applications. This paper introduces an application of PRINTEPS for customer reception service in robot cafe by using stream reasoning and Robot Operating System (ROS) based on PRINTEPS, and for integrating image sensing with knowledge processing. Based on this platform, ...
