This paper proposed the implementation of haptic-based robot which is following human by using fundamental sensors on robot arms without additional sensors. A Robot arm has 6 DOF(6 angle detection devices) to operate like human arm. Robot follows human by interacting with robot arm(s) and human hand(s), as human follows human by hand(s) Key-Words: Intelligent robot, Human robot interaction, Fol...

In this paper, a new online robot motion planner is developed for systematically exploring unknown environ¬ments by intelligent mobile robots in real-time applications. The algorithm takes advantage of sensory data to find an obstacle-free start-to-goal path. It does so by online calculation of the Generalized Voronoi Graph (GVG) of the free space, and utilizing a combination of depth-first an...

The intelligence of a mobile robot is highly dependent on its vision. The main objective of an intelligent mobile robot is in its ability to the online image processing, object detection, and especially visual tracking which is a complex task in stochastic environments. Tracking algorithms suffer from sequence challenges such as illumination variation, occlusion, and background clutter, so an a...

The purpose of this paper is to design and optimize an intelligent fuzzy-logic controller for a three-degree of freedom (3DOF) artificial finger with shape-memory alloy (SMA) wire actuators. The robotic finger is constructed using three SMA wires as tendons to bend each phalanx of the finger around its revolute joint and three torsion springs which return the phalanxes to their original positio...

In this paper, a worm-like micro robot designed for inpipe application with intelligent active force control (AFC) capability is modelled and simulated. The motion of the micro robot is based on an impact drive mechanism (IDM) that is actuated using piezoelectric device. The trajectory tracking performance of the modelled micro robot is initially experimented via a conventional proportionalinte...

This paper describes an intelligent space, whose objective is to localize and control robots or robotic wheelchairs to help people. Such an intelligent space has 11 cameras distributed in two laboratories and a corridor. The cameras are fixed in the environment, and image capturing is done synchronously. The system was programmed as a client/server with TCP/IP connections, and a communication p...

Mobile robot is an autonomous agent capable of navigating intelligently anywhere using sensor-actuator control techniques. The applications of the autonomous mobile robot in many fields such as industry, space, defence and transportation, and other social sectors are growing day by day. The mobile robot performs many tasks such as rescue operation, patrolling, disaster relief, planetary explora...

In this paper, an intelligent controller capable of static balancing as well as dynamic balancing of a pole mounted on a motorized robot is designed and developed. The brain of the intelligent controller lies in the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS), which receives as its inputs displacement, velocity and acceleration information. An embedded instrumentation system onboard the robot measures the dis...

In the last few years, intelligent robots were successfully fielded in hospitals (King, S., and Weiman, C, 1990), museums (Burgard, W. et al., 1999), and office buildings/department stores (Endres, H. et al. , 1998), where they perform cleaning services, deliver, educate, or entertain (Schraft, R., and Schmierer, G. , 2005). Robots have also been developed for guiding blind people, as well as r...

, we present an algorithm for path planning to a target for mobile robot in unknown environment. The proposed algorithm allows a mobile robot to navigate through static obstacles, and finding the path in order to reach the target without collision. This algorithm provides the robot the possibility to move from the initial position to the final position (target). The proposed path finding strate...
