As voice technology receives wide application in our daily lives, Question-and-answer service is taking shape in the research of humanoid robot. This paper designs a humanoid robot Voice Q & A system based on cloud. After the robot collects voice signals, it would first process the signal to understand the question, and then searches the Internet for the best answers and tell it to the user wit...

  A new computational technique is presented to find the optimal base position of dual arm robots in order to carry maximum allowable load. The maximum allowable load on a desired trajectory is limited by the number of factors such as; actuators torque limits, kinematic constraints, and kinematic redundancy of cooperative manipulators. For a dual arm robot mounted on a rail or table, load works...

Pose estimation is one of the vital issues in mobile robot navigation. Odometry data can be fused with absolute position measurements to provide better and more reliable pose estimation. This paper deals with the determination of better relative localization of a two wheeled differential drive robot by means of odometry by considering the influence of parameters namely weight, velocity, wheel p...

In order to desing a Robotics Tele-Laboratory that permits simultaneous remote control and programming of several robots, we must take into account multiple aspects. One of the most important refers to the System Architecture and Communication Technology that permits such a level of multirobot interaction. In this paper we present the system architecture that has been used in our laboratory to ...

The application of Cellular Automata to the problem of robot path planning is presented. It is shown that a Cellular Automata allows the efficient computation of an optimal collision free path from an initial to a goal configuration on a physical space cluttered with obstacles. The cellular space represents a discrete version of the workspace for a mobile robot. The path computation is performe...

A linear laser-vision sensor called 'Perception TriCam Contour' is mounted on an industrial robot and often used for various application of the robot such as the position correction and the inspection of a part. In this paper, a sensor center position calibration is presented for the most accurate use of the robot-Perceptron system. The obtained algorithm is suitable for on-site calibration in ...

quadruped robots have unique capabilities for motion over uneven natural environments. this article presents a stable gait for a quadruped robot in such motions and discusses the inverse-dynamics control scheme to follow the planned gait. first, an explicit dynamics model will be developed using a novel constraint elimination method for an 18-dof quadruped robot. thereafter, an inverse-dynamics...
