This paper addresses the tracking problem for the dynamic model of a unicycle mobile robot. A novel optimization method inspired on the chemical reactions is applied to solve this motion problem by integrating a kinematic and a torque controller based on fuzzy logic theory. Computer simulations are presented confirming that this optimization paradigm is able to outperform other optimization techniques applied to this particular robot application.

Cloud service providers negotiate with customers to set a minimum of 99.9 percent as theguaranteed service availability level, but the range that falls in the guaranteed service levelscomplicates management of service level agreements because partner relationships can befull of complex variables. One of those variables is accumulative errors from rounding andtruncation in the calculations. The author presents a solution to this set of problems: Usenumerical analysis of performance data to obtain approximate solutions while you maintainreasonable bounds on errors as part of an SLA standardization effort.

This chapter discusses how a vision based robot navigation scheme can be developed, in a two-layered architecture, in collaboration with IR sensors. The algorithm employs a subgoal based scheme where the attempt is made to follow the shortest path to reach the final goal and also simultaneously achieve the desired obstacle avoidance. The algorithm operates in an iterative fashion with the objective of creating the next subgoal and navigating upto this point in a single iteration such that the final goal is reached in minimum number of iterations, as far as practicable.

The advanced range safety system project is a collaboration between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the United States Air Force to develop systems that would reduce costs and schedule for safety approval for new classes of unmanned high-energy vehicles. The mission-planning feature for this system would yield flight profiles that satisfy the mission requirements for the user while providing an increased quality of risk assessment, enhancing public safety. By improving the speed and accuracy of predicting risks to the public, mission planners would be able to expand flight envelopes significantly. Once in place, this system is expected to offer the flexibility of handling real-time risk management for the high-energy capabilities of hypersonic vehicles including autonomous return-from-orbit vehicles and extended flight profiles over land. Users of this system would include mission planners of Space Launch Initiative vehicles, space planes, and other high-energy vehicles. The real-time features of the system could make extended flight of a malfunctioning vehicle possible, in lieu of an immediate terminate decision. With this improved capability, the user would have more time for anomaly resolution and potential recovery of a malfunctioning vehicle.

This chapter discusses how real-life interfacing of external peripherals with a ready-made mobile robot can be successfully achieved. Such a system is hoped to be useful for those research scenarios where, many-a-time, because of the fund constraints, a complete robot system cannot be procured with all its accessories and sensor systems. This chapter discusses how such interfacing can be achieved for the KOALA robot using serial communication in interrupt driven mode.

This chapter presents a detailed, step-by-step demonstration of how vision-based navigation modules can be actually implemented in real life, under 32-bit Windows environment. These lessons start with a simple development of capturing image frames from a running video and then gradually proceeds to more complex tasks of incorporating image processing capabilities e.g. filtering techniques, contrast enhancement, adaptive thresholding etc. Then the lessons demonstrate how to extract path for the robot from such images and how a rule-based approach can be utilized to determine left and right wheel speed settings of a differential drive system.

Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is a high-resolution, high-throughput and cost-effective nano-patterning technology. However, the overlay accuracy is lagging behind the resolution because of the high cost of mechanical precision. We have built an inexpensive stand-alone machine based on the wafer bowing nanoimprint process, and demonstrated single-point overlay of two transferred pattern layers with an accuracy of ≤60 nm.

Robot teleoperation via haptic interface has been increasingly studied in recent years. In fact, the capacity to remotely feel the forces being exerted on a robot end-effector is a major advantage for many modern robot applications. This study aims to explore the capabilities of a low-cost haptic device, a force/torque sensor and a commercially available industrial robot, both together for haptic-based robot teleoperation purposes. A ballistic approach is implemented to make the mapping between the motion produced on the haptic device by the operator and the resulting robot motion. Inspired by some studies in the field of robot haptics, the robot and haptic device are connected by a virtual spring, which allows the operator to feel the sensation of pull and push the robot at the same time that teleoperates it. Results related to the process of robot

Some Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers aren't willing to give Layer 4-7 services toenterprises that want to migrate applications requiring complex load balancing, applications,and firewalls from their private data centers into a public IaaS. Providers who do give Layer 4-7services take prudent, proactive steps to offer Platform as a Service (PaaS) developers a widerrange of IaaS delivery services (for example, disaster recovery service). Learn which deliveryservices the PaaS can use and what layers of multi-defense mechanisms should be consideredto better protect the IaaS from cloud abuse.
