Mobile robot vision system using continuous laser scanning for industrial application
Lars Lindner, Oleg Sergiyenko, Julio C. Rodríguez-Quiñonez, Moises Rivas-Lopez, Daniel Hernandez-Balbuena, Wendy Flores-Fuentes, Fabian Natanael Murrieta-Rico, Vera TyrsaThe purpose of this paper is the presentation and research of a novel robot vision system, which uses laser dynamic triangulation, to determine three-dimensional (3D) coordinates…
Path planning towards non-compulsory multiple targets using TWIN-RRT*
Nino Pereira, A.Fernando Ribeiro, Gil Lopes, Jorge LinoThe purpose of this paper is to characterise the TWIN-RRT* algorithm which solves a motion planning problem in which an agent has multiple possible targets where none of them is…
Designing robot behavior in human robot interaction based on emotion expression
Yuan Wei, Jing ZhaoThis paper aims to deal with the problem of designing robot behaviors (mainly to robotic arms) to express emotions. The authors study the effects of robot behaviors from our…
Haptic industrial robot control with variable time delayed bilateral teleoperation
Servet Soyguder, Tayfun AbutThis study attempts to control the movement of industrial robots with virtual and real-time variable time delay. The improved variable wave method was used for analyzing position…

Xianchuan Shi, Liang Gao, Lei Qian, Mingya Cheng, Kyle JiangThe purpose of this paper is to develop a coiling robot in the production of coated elevator compensation chains to replace the manual coiling operations and improve the quality…
Experimental comparison of drag-wiper and roller-wiper glass-cleaning robots
Qiang Zhou, Xin LiGlass-cleaning robots were developed to perform the difficult, time-consuming and dangerous job of cleaning windows that had traditionally been done by humans. The wiping…
Towards robotic post-trimming of salmon fillets
Eirin Bar, John Reidar Mathiassen, Aleksander Eilertsen, Terje Mugaas, Ekrem Misimi, Ådne Solhaug Linnerud, Cecilie Salomonsen, Harry WestavikPractically all salmon fillets produced in Norway are trimmed clean of unwanted fat, bone remnants and other defects according to customer requirements. In today’s modern…
Development of climbing robot for steel bridge inspection
