This book presents the proceedings of the 7th EAI International Conference on Robotics and Networks 2023 (EAI ROSENET 2023). The conference explores the integration of networks, communications, and robotic technologies, which has become a topic of increasing interest for both researchers and developers from academic fields and industries worldwide. The authors posit that big networks will be the main approach to the next generation of robotic research, with the explosive number of communications and networks models and increasing computational power of computers significantly extending the number of potential applications for robotic technologies while also bringing new challenges to the communications and networking community. The conference provided a platform for researchers to share up-to-date scientific achievements in this field. The conference takes place at Bahcesehir University, Istanbul, Türkiye on 15-16 December 2023.

Robotic Object Recognition Using Vision and Touch


Free Download Robotic Object Recognition Using Vision and Touch by Peter K. Allen
English | PDF | 1987 | 179 Pages | ISBN : 0898382459 | 17.2 MB
This work describes a multi-sensor system for robotic object recogni- tion tasks that integrates passive stereo vision and active, exploratory tactile sensing. The complementary nature of these sensing modalities allows the system to discover the underlying 3-D structure of the objects to be recog- nized. This structure is embodied in rich, hierarchical, viewpoint- independent 3-D models of the objects which include curved surfaces, con- cavities and holes. The vision processing provides sparse 3-D data about regions of interest that are then actively explored by the tactile sensor which is mounted on the end of a robotic manipulator. A robust hierarchical pro- cedure has been developed to integrate the visual and tactile data into accu- rate 3-D surface and feature primitives. This integration of vision and touch provides geometric measures of the surfaces and features that are used in a matching phase to find model objects that are consistent with the sensory data. Methods for verification of the hypothesis are presented, including the sensing of visually occluded areas with the tactile sensor. A number of experiments have been performed using real sensors and real, noisy data to demonstrate the utility of these methods and the ability of such a system to recognize objects that would be difficult for a system using vision alone.

Robotic Grasping and Fine Manipulation


Free Download Robotic Grasping and Fine Manipulation by Mark R. Cutkosky
English | PDF | 1985 | 190 Pages | ISBN : 1468468936 | 13.1 MB
When a person picks up a metal part and clamps it in the chuck of a lathe, he begins with his arm, proceeds with his wrist and finishes with his fingers. The arm brings the part near the chuck. The wrist positions the part, giving it the proper orientation to slide in. After the part is inserted, the wrist and fingers make tiny corrections to ensure that it is correctly seated. Today’s robot attempting the same operations is at a grave disadvantage if it has to make all motions with the arm. The following work investigates the use of robotic wrists and hands to help industrial robots perform the fine motions needed in a metal working cell. Chapters 1 and 2 are an introduction to the field and a review of previous investigations on related subjects. Little work has been done on grasping and fine manipulation with a robot hand or wrist, but the related subjects of robot arm dynamics and control have an extensive literature.

Kinematic Modeling, Identification, and Control of Robotic Manipulators


Free Download Kinematic Modeling, Identification, and Control of Robotic Manipulators by Henry W. Stone
English | PDF | 1987 | 236 Pages | ISBN : 0898382378 | 14.4 MB
The objective of this dissertation is to advance the state-of-the-art in the kinematic modeling, identification, and control of robotic manipulators with rigid links in an effort to improve robot kinematic performance. The positioning accuracy of commercially-available industrial robotic manipulators depends upon a kinematic model which describes the robot geometry in a parametric form. Manufacturing error in the machining and assembly of manipulators lead to discrepancies between the design parameters and the physical structure. Improving the kinematic perfor mance thus requires the identification of the actual kinematic parameters of each individual robot. The identified kinematic parameters are referred to as the arm signature. Existing robot kinematic models, such as the Denavit-Hartenberg model, are not directly applicable to kinematic parameter identification. In this dissertation we introduce a new kinematic model, called the 5-Model, which is applicable to kinematic parameter identification, and use it as the foundation for our development of a general technique for identifying the kinematic parameters of any robot with rigid links.

Economics and Politics in the Robotic Age


Free Download Qing-Ping Ma, "Economics and Politics in the Robotic Age"
English | ISBN: 1527546071 | 2023 | 485 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This book shows that the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics is a natural consequence of the development of human society. It examines the history of production from the Stone Age to the present, progressing from the manual age to the machine age and then to the robotic age. From the perspective of economics and human physiology, this book explains how AI and robotics will reshape the economy and society, and how individuals, firms, and governments should prepare for the advent of the robotic age.
