The high accuracy and dynamic performance of parallel robots (PRs) make them suitable to ensure safe operation in human–robot interaction. However, these advantages come at the expense a reduced workspace possible appearance type II singularities. latter is due loss control PR requires further analysis keep stiffness even after singular configuration reached. All or subset limbs could be respon...

Several key issues arise in implementing recognition in terms of Bayesian networks. Computational al effiCiency is a driving force. Perceptual networks are very deep, typically fifteen levels of structure. Images are very wide, e.g. an unspecified number of edges may appear anywhere in an image 512 x 512 or larger. For efficiency, we dynamically instantiate hypotheses of observed objects. The n...

In this article we discuss the Eastern European Union Countries (EEUC) issue of contenentalisation/re-continentalisation process. We point out how tracing, projecting and realizing Trans continental meridian transportation corridors axes could facilitate development peripheric marginalized regions. The is presenting a view (vision) regarding transport connectivity countries in particular – Bulg...

Vanishing points and vanishing lines are useful information in computer vision. In this study, an interesting dual property of vanishing point is "rst introduced. Next, we point out that there also exists a dual property of vanishing line. With the dual vanishing point and vanishing line properties, some 3D intersection inference can be made based on their image lines. Two applications are give...

In most conventional manipulation systems, changes in the environment cannot be observed in real time because the vision sensor is too slow. As a result the system is powerless under dynamic changes or sudden accidents. To solve this problem we have developed a grasping system using high-speed visual and force feedback. This is a multingered hand-arm with a hierarchical parallel processing syst...

This paper shows how Markovian segmentation algorithms used to solve well known computer vision problems such as motion estimation, motion detection and stereovision can be significantly accelerated when implemented on programmable graphics hardware. More precisely, this contribution exposes how the parallel abilities of a standard Graphics Processing Unit (usually devoted to image synthesis) c...

Airports lose significant capacity during instrument conditions. Several plans are afoot to expand the nations’ airports to achieve sufficient runway spacing for independent IFR approaches. The projected cost of the ten largest projects in the United States is $8 16 Billion. The ability to conduct Closely Spaced Parallel Approaches (CSPA) in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) could redu...

The simulation of large spiking neural networks (PCNN) especially for vision purposes is limited by the computing power of general purpose computer systems [5,9,10]. Therefore, the simulation of real world scenarios requires dedicated simulator systems. This article presents architectures of software and hardware implementations for PCNN simulator systems. The implementations are based on a com...

In the paper, a novel new gravity-constrained (GC) three-wire-driven (TWD) parallel robot is proposed, and the prototype is presented with control system. With its mechanism model, three typical kinematic analytical models, including horizontal up-down motion, pitching motion and heeling motion and their corresponding simulations are given in detail. The open-loop and close-loop control scheme ...
