in this paper we introduce an improvement in the path planning algorithm for the humanoid soccer playing robot which uses ferguson splines and pso (particle swarm optimization). the objective of the algorithm is to find a path through other playing robots to the ball, which should be as short as possible and also safe enough. ferguson splines create preliminary paths using random generated para...

in many autonomous mobile applications, robots must be capable of analyzing motion of moving objects in their environment. duringmovement of robot the quality of images is affected by quakes of camera which cause high errors in image processing outputs. in thispaper, we propose a novel method to effectively overcome this problem using neural networks and kalman filtering theory. thistechnique u...

nowadays, robots account for most part of our lives in such a way that it is impossible for usto do many of affairs without them. increasingly, the application of robots is developing fastand their functions become more sensitive and complex. one of the important requirements ofrobot use is a reliable software operation. for enhancement of reliability, it is a necessity todesign the fault toler...

designing the self-balancing two-wheeled mobile robots and reducing undesired vibrations are of great importance. for this purpose, the majority of researches are focused on application of relatively complex control approaches without improving the robot structure. therefore, in this paper we introduce a new two-wheeled mobile robot which, despite its relative simple structure, fulfills the req...

In this article, a fast and reliable map-merging algorithm is proposed to produce a global two dimensional map of an indoor environment in a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) process. In SLAM process, to find its way in this environment, a robot should be able to determine its position relative to a map formed from its observations. To solve this complex problem, simultan...
