Industrial robots are used especially in sectors where the human body is in danger or is working in extreme conditions. One of these sectors is the forges sector where the manipulating objects are hot, and the vibrations and noise are big. The problem of manipulation the hot parts implies the choosing of the right gripper mechanism in order to obtain the best cooling of it and of the robot itself. (…)
In this paper we present a fast approach to range image segmentation. The segmentation results are intended to serve as input to the perception system of a domestic service robot. In the first step “ghost points” at depth discontinuities are identified. This is followed by extracting step and roof edges. Planar patches are detected with a focus on horizontal and vertical planar structures. Finally, (…)
The paper focuses on simulation tools for parallel kinematics using Augmented Reality. AR is used in the design of new equipment for reasons of clarity in testing the physical model of parallel kinematics (linking real and virtual scene model). The article describes the process of the model creation and its further processing. The article focuses on other possible solutions which could be beneficia (…)
Operator overloading is a powerful feature of modern object-oriented programming languages; it can be used to customize the default algebraic operators to a point where the programming syntax can accommodate new algebras acting on complex objects. The present work introduces a custom T (T, ) algebra which can be used to express kinematic transformations in chains of frames that move in threedimens (…)
