Core Subject : Engineering,
Robots are becoming part of people's everyday social lives and will increasingly become so. In future years, robots may become caretaker assistants for the elderly, or academic tutors for our children, or medical assistants, day care assistants, or psychological counselors. Robots may become our co-workers in factories and offices, or maids in our homes. The IAES International Journal of Robotics and Automation (IJRA) is providing a platform to researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners throughout the world to publish the latest achievement, future challenges and exciting applications of intelligent and autonomous robots. IJRA is aiming to push the frontier of robotics into a new dimension, in which motion and intelligence play equally important roles. Its scope includes (but not limited) to the following: automation control, automation engineering, autonomous robots, biotechnology and robotics, emergence of the thinking machine, forward kinematics, household robots and automation, inverse kinematics, Jacobian and singularities, methods for teaching robots, nanotechnology and robotics (nanobots), orientation matrices, robot controller, robot structure and workspace, robotic and automation software development, robotic exploration, robotic surgery, robotic surgical procedures, robotic welding, robotics applications, robotics programming, robotics technologies, robots society and ethics, software and hardware designing for robots, spatial transformations, trajectory generation, unmanned (robotic) vehicles, etc.

Abstract

Planar robots are one of the optimal robot form impacted in typical Cartesian plane. It consists of fixed divisions and connectors positioned in series which offers like working of human arm. The one end of robot arm position is fixed and the other arm of the robot move through the Cartesian plane by modifying the framework of arm joints. The kinematic analysis on planar robot includes position, velocity and acceleration are validated not by considering the force which cause motion to robot. The manipulator with lack of design and fault tolerant operation is analytical for application in remote and threat environment where periodic maintenance and improvements are not available. The most advanced architecture and operational flexibility of robots offer new probability and advancement in a large scale of fabrication process. This paper proposes inverse kinematic analysis of PUMA 560 robotic arm to conclude long range of fault tolerance. The proposed work incorporates Jacobian and Firefly algorithm are generally useful for determining inverse kinematics for redundant robots.

Abstract

Efficient conflict-free routing scheduling of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in automated logistic systems can improve delivery time, prevent delays, and decrease handling cost. Once potential conflicts present themselves on their road ahead, AGVs may wait for a while until the potential conflicts disappear besides altering their routes. Therefore, AGV conflict-free routing scheduling involves making routing and waiting time decisions simultaneously. This work constructs a conflict-free routing scheduling model for AGVs with consideration of waiting time. The process of the model is based on calculation of the travel time and conflict analysis at the links and nodes. A guided ant colony optimization (GACO) algorithm, in which ants are guided to avoid conflicts by adding a guidance factor to the state transition rule, is developed to solve the model. Simulations are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the model and the solution method.

Abstract

An modified active virtual impedance control has been proposed for collision free navigation of a mobile robot to avoid front obstacles dynamically while a mobile robot is following a sound source. A mobile robot is controlled to follow a sound source with a velocity which is determined by virtual repulsive and attraction forces to avoid obstacles and to follow the sound source, respectively. To generate the virtual repulsive and attraction forces, a new modified virtual impedance is defined as a function of the distances and relative velocities to the sound source and obstacles from the mobile robot. In the conventional virtual impedance method, fixed coefficients have been used for the virtual impedance control. In this research, the coefficients are dynamically adjusted to elaborate the obstacle avoidance performance in various situations such as the multiple moving obstacles environment. A microphone array consisting of three microphones in a row has been attached on the mobile robot to detect the relative distance and velocity to the obstacles. The relative position and orientation of the sound source against the mobile robot has been estimated using the geometrical relationship of the microphones. As an application, the mobile robot can be used as a pet robot following the master with a sound source. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm has been demonstrated through real experiments.

Abstract

A three-degree-of-freedom Delta parallel manipulator driven by a crank-slider mechanism is proposed. In Cartesian space, a gate-shaped curve is taken as the path of the pick-and-place operation, combining with the inverse kinematics theory of the Delta robot, and a mathematical model of robot statia force transmission is established. The force and the output torque of the robot-driven joint are taken as the main performance indexes, and the value of the crank-slider mechanism applied to Delta robot is further measured. The simulation results show that the delta robot driven by the crank slider mechanism can reduce the force and output torque of the driving joint during the picking and discharging operation, and has good practical application value.

Abstract

This paper proposes an efficient navigation control and synchronization mechanism of multiple networked robots for operation in large confined areas. An adaptable grid based navigation and control strategy is adopted to eliminate potential collisions among robots. Unexpected obstacles are handled and the speed of individual robot is maintained using the node-ordering technique. The proposed navigation control and synchronization mechanism is scalable and can be easily extended for multi-cell large environment. The obstacles information is gathered through local information by the robots for better planning of the navigation. The system collaborates with the existing surveillance systems in case of additional visual information is necessary. The interaction with the surveillance system is minimized to reduce potential overhead. The proposed methodology is evaluated for a large-scale simulation with multiple robots.

Abstract

This paper presents a robot concept which is the robot can play the instrumental Gamelan music. Gamelan is a percussive instrument. Instrumental Gamelan music keys are consist of 2 octaves in 15 tones. Robot Gamelan music is using proportional-derivative (PD) control system. PD control of the robot is by controlling DC gear motor position to desired Gamelan key position. Robot Gamelan music using ATmega 16 microcontroller as a controller. Feedback of PD control is using magnetic rotary encoder (MRE) sensor. PD control is using the constant. The constant functions of PD control are determining the pulse width modulation (PWM) toward DC gear motor velocity in order to reposition a gamelan key position and pushing down the errors.

Abstract

Quadrotor is an unmanned aerial vehicle which is controlled by remote control. Unfortunately, not all of the remote control are easy to use, especially for people who have lacking abilities in piloting. This study aims to design a prototype system to controlĀ  quadrotor using hand movements, as an alternative to the conventional remote control that more simple. This system is consists of 2 parts, quadrotor and handheld. Both systems can communicate wirelessly using radio frequency 2.4 GHz. The handheld system will read the orientation angle of the hand by IMU sensor and it will be converted into a command to determine the direction motion of the quadrotor. To get the orientation angle from the IMU sensor data, we used DCM sensor fusion method. Quadrotor needs a control system that can make its respond runs optimally. In this study, the method of the control system that used is PID controller. The PID gain obtained using Ziegler-Nichols oscillation method and then fixed again by fine-tuned method.
