Existing practice for programming robots involves teaching it a sequence of waypoints in addition to processrelated events, which defines the complete robot path. The programming process is time consuming, error prone and, in most cases, requires several iterations before the program quality is acceptable. By introducing augmented reality technologies in this programming process, the operator g...

Robots usually have multiple components, such as motors, sensors, microcontrollers and embedded computers. A robot programming to control motors and measure the output of sensors is complicated. Therefore it is troublesome for beginners to write the program of a robot control. To solve this problem, this paper describes a card programming for controlling a robot.

Advanced robot programming requires flexible and extensible programming environments, as well as programming languages capable of amalgamating and integrating components implemented according to different technologies. Logic programming can give a valuable contribution thanks to its characteristic features like relational form and declarative interpretation; on the other hand, its peculiar goal...

This paper describes a low computational direct approach for optimal motion planning and obstacle avoidance of Omni-directional mobile robots within velocity and acceleration constraints on the robot motion. The main purpose of this problem is the minimization of a quadratic cost function while limitation on velocity and acceleration of robot is considered and collision with any obstacle in the...

Robot control involves advance programming, scientific and high technology. The systematic and methodological aspects of robot controls often results in having superficial control design problems that can negatively affect the robot application, usability and appeal. User friendly interface of robot control is extremely advantageous and more attractive. To illustrate, the application of medical...

RoboCup is a competition for autonomous robots playing soccer that makes contributions to various Intelligent Autonomous Systems. In RoboCup, frameworks to support robot programming are important because we have to resolve complex dif culties by software, especially in the four-legged robot league, where we can never resolve these dif culties by hardware since only xed hardware is available. Th...

Robots have become significantly more powerful and intelligent over the last decade, and are moving in to more service oriented roles. As a result robots will more often be used by people with minimal technical skills and so there is a need for easier to use and more flexible programming systems. This paper reviews the current state of the art in robot programming systems. A distinction is made...

In this paper, we present FProlog7 a programming language designed t o act as the top level in a robot assembly system. FProlog i s a logic programming language, with the ability t o interface with LISP. This allows 1Ae use of D logic programming environment to construct assembly plans, while using LISP programs to interface with vision. systems, world modeling systems, robot manipulators, etc....
