Mobile robotics is usually considered to be a subfield of robotics and information engineering. A spying robot is an example of a mobile robot capable of movement in a given environment. Mobile robots have the capability to move around in their environment and are not fixed to one physical location. Mobile robots can be "autonomous" (AMR - autonomous mobile robot) which means they are capable of navigating an uncontrolled environment without the need for physical or electro-mechanical guidance devices. Alternatively, mobile robots can rely on guidance devices that allow them to travel a pre-defined navigation route in relatively controlled space (AGV - INNOVATIVE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT 2 MOBILE ROBOTICS autonomous guided vehicle).

  • Humanoid Robot NAO: Developing Behaviors for Soccer Humanoid Robots
    FACULDADE DE ENGENHARIA DA UNIVERSIDADE DO PORTO Humanoid Robot NAO: Developing Behaviors for Soccer Humanoid Robots Luís Miranda Cruz State of the Art Review Master in Informatics and Computing Engineering Supervisor: Luis Paulo Reis (PhD.) Supervisor: Armando Sousa (PhD.) 12th February, 2011 Abstract The topic of humanoid robot control has driven many research in areas such as robotics, artifi- cial intelligence, computer vision, among others. More and better technologies have been de- veloped, providing a wide range of humanoid robots and simulators which is very useful in this task. Nowadays, humanoids are equipped with several degrees of freedom leading to very versatile movements but also more complexity to the inherent problems. Robocup is a robotic soccer international competition that promotes the research in these areas, including humanoid leagues, both on simulated and real environments. The FCPortugal team has already a good record of wins in RoboCup. The team intends to study these problems due to its participation in these humanoid leagues. In this context, this dissertation proposes the development of automated processes for optimizing behaviours and generate sequences of behaviours for a given task with regard to the environment. This document presents the state of the art of the dissertation, describing different optimiza- tion methods, such as Hill Climbing, Simulated Annealing, Tabu Search and Genetic Algorithms. It also describes the topic of Machine Learning, the planning problems, and AI search methods, such as the greedy best-first search and the A* search algorithms. Humanoid control is introduced, explaining the behaviours at motor, skill and task level, and presenting the work already developed by FCPortugal in behaviours generation, namely the Step-Behaviours, Slot-Behaviours and Cen- tral Pattern Generators.

  • Design of a Smart Ping Pong Robot
    IJIRST –International Journal for Innovative Research in Science & Technology| Volume 1 | Issue 10 | March 2015 ISSN (online): 2349-6010 Design of a Smart Ping Pong Robot A.Thamemul Ansari K.Thivakaran UG Student UG Student Saranathan College of Engineering, Trichy, Tamilnadu, India Saranathan College of Engineering, Trichy, Tamilnadu, India M.Hareesh Kumar R.Gopalakrishnan UG Student Assistant Professor Saranathan College of Engineering, Trichy, Tamilnadu, India Saranathan College of Engineering, Trichy, Tamilnadu, India Abstract In this paper, we have designed a Smart Ping Pong Robot. Here we are using this robot specifically for table tennis application, where the player will able to play or practice without any opponent. This Robot automatically throws the ball where the player can play against the Robot. In our design we have used a power supply to energize the actuator or crank shaft piston. The power supply (230V AC) is converted to 12 volt DC. The electrical energy is converted into mechanical action of the crank shaft piston. This piston is used to push the ball, which is fed from the basket to the end effector (Ball delivery). The ball at the end effector is pushed outward by the wheel that is rotating at the speed of 1000 rpm. A DC wiper motor is fixed at the bottom of the disc when that motor is energized; the disc is rotated to an angle of 45 degree left and to an angle of 45 degree right. So that the ball will be delivered in Forehand and Forehand middle directions. This robot also gives Top spin, Side spin and Reverse spin of the ball.

One is the table tennis ball speed, which moves fast, and it is difficult for the robot to react in a short time. +e second is that the robot cannot recognize the type of the ball’s movement, i.e., rotation, top rotation, no rotation, wait, etc. It is impossible to judge whether the ball is rotating and the direction of rotation, resulting in a single return strategy of the robot with poor adaptability. In this paper, these problems are solved by proposing a target trajectory tracking algorithm for table tennis using machine vision combined with Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG). Real human-machine game’s data are obtained in the proposed algorithm by extracting ten continuous position information and speed information frames for feature selection. +ese features are used as input data for the deep neural network and then are normalized to create a deep neural network algorithm model.

Robots can be guided by an external control device or the control may be embedded within. Robots may be constructed on the lines of human form, but most robots are machines designed to perform a task with no regard to how they look. These technologies are used to develop industrial revolutions that can substitute for humans and replicate human actions. Robots can be used in many situations and for lots of purposes.
