Active Vision Approach for Controlling Educational Robotic Arm with Autonomous Object Manipulation
Abstract: This research presents an autonomous robotic framework for academic, vocational and training purpose. The platform is centred on a six-degree-of-freedom (DOF) serial robotic arm. Two on-board cameras developed a computer vision system for detection and autonomous object/target manipulation placed randomly on a target surface and controlling an educational robotic arm (ERA) to pick it up and move it to a predefined destination. Force sensitive resistor (FSR) has been used as …

Adaptive Tree Climbing Robot
Abstract: This paper is proposed to design a tree climbing robot which makes the robot to realize the environment and climb on tree autonomously. The proposed robot is inspired by locomotion of inchworms. By the use of limit switches, the algorithm reconstructs the shape of the tree which reveals how the environment can be realized with limited information. Since the shape of trees is irregular and complex, it is a challenging …

Surveillance Patrol Robot for People Tracking in Indoor Environments
Abstract: There is a great challenge that a mobile robot reliably and continuously tracks a specific person in indoor environments. In this paper, a novel method is presented, which can effectively recognize and reliably track a target person based on mobile robot vision. Such a robot is equipped with a camera which senses a moving object and starts tracking the object. The on-board camera develops a computer vision system for detection …

Tracking Control of Robotic Manipulator using PID, Computed Torque Control and Sliding Mode Control Techniques
Abstract: In the last decades, the robotic manipulators have been extensively used in the industrial applications such as paint spraying, welding, accurate positioning system etc. In these applications, joint angles of robotic manipulators are directed to follow some given trajectories as close as possible. Therefore, Inspite of long years of research, trajectory tracking problem of robotic manipulators is the most significant and fundamental task for researchers to work upon. Robotic manipulator …

Machine Vision Robot with Real Time Sensing
Abstract: Till now by giving the commands through voice we were able to control the robot but we can’t be there every where all the time so to give command through the voice some time we may face difficulty. So in our paper we are giving the commands through the text images. The robot captures it, after processing the image it react to the command which is in the text image. …
