... Abstract Path planning has been a hot research topic in robotics, and it is also a vital functionality for autonomous systems. Generating optimal-quality path plans with the least computing time has always been the goal of researchers. As the time complexity of traditional path planning...

... of the system was to reduce costs compared to other autonomous EV chargers. As such, the system was developed using consumer grade IoT hardware instead of commercial robotic systems and controllers. The system employs a decentralized control architecture with Robot Operation System (ROS) as its backbone...

... Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) printing has revolutionized the production of mechanical components by enabling the creation of objects of complex geometry, but at the same time it has introduced new issues related to post-processing operations. Similarly, robotics has seen an evolution...

... Abstract This research considers the development of a biologically inspired active visual communication strategy for use within Multiple Robot Systems. Robotic systems currently communicate using radio frequency (RF) broadcasts, but they cannot transition from one communication modality...

... Abstract Jobs performed by small to medium enterprises (SMEs) are infrequently automated due to high setup costs and lack of technical expertise needed for robot training, however productivity and worker safety can be improved in SMEs with the use automated tooling. In a traditional automated...

... Abstract This study investigates the stability of robots in machining. The goal is to improve the dynamic performance of robots using an additional acceleration signal fed back through the conventional built-in proportional-derivative controller provided by the manufacturer. The structure...

... peristaltic and curling behaviours, we propose an origami-based concept for a robot that imitates the motion of a millipede. The mechanism is made with a chain of interlinked modules, mimicking the segments in a millipede. Each module is an assembly of rigid facets with a uniform and finite thickness...

... Abstract In robotics the risk of collisions is present both in industrial applications and in remote handling. If a collision occurs, the impact may damage both the robot and external equipment, which may result in successive imprecise robot tasks or line stops, reducing robot efficiency...
