this article presents an implementation of a reinforcement learning (rl) method for a snake like robot navigation. the paper starts with developing kinematics and dynamics model of a snake robot in serpentine locomotion followed by performing simulation and finishes with actual experimentation. first, gibbs-appell's method is used to obtain the robot dynamics. the robot is also modeled in simme...

This article describes the computational model underlying the AGILO autonomous robot soccer team, its implementation, and our experiences with it. According to our model the control system of an autonomous soccer robot consists of a probabilistic game state estimator and a situated action selection module. The game state estimator computes the robot’s belief state with respect to the current ga...

Quantifying the robot's performance in terms of dexterity and maneuverability is essential for the analysis and design of novel robot mechanisms and for the selection of appropriate robot con gurations in the context of grasping and manipulation. It can also be used for monitoring and evaluating the current robot state and support planning and decision making tasks, such as grasp selection or i...

in this paper, a new approach to modify cable tension measuring mechanism is described; furthermore, the constructed boards which amplify load cell output are introduced. this approach has some advantages including of providing feedback for motors, evaluating the robot’s ultimate load carrying capacity, improving the motor control system and estimating the vibrating deflections of the end effec...

A real time vector field based path planning for attack mode robot and a Petri-net state diagram approach for robot’s role selection for robot soccer games are proposed in this paper Robot soccer game has dynamic environments as different robots intentionally affect the environment in unpredictable ways in a competitive setting. A soccer-playing robot has to take an appropriate action according...

This paper presents experimental analysis of wheeled mobile robots. Mathematical modelling of the mobile robot is presented. The mobile robots consist of an omni-directional and three differential drive mobile robots are tested and moved in given trajectories and the systematic errors of the robots are determined. A new method for omni-direction mobile robot was introduced in which the robot wa...

This paper aims to develop a writing robot by recognizing the speech signal from the user. The robot arm constructed mainly for the disabled people who can’t perform writing on their own. Here, dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm is used to recognize the speech signal from the user. The action performed by the robot arm in the environment is done by reducing the redundancy which frequently fac...
