Brain‐computer interfaces: control by thought
Robert BogueThe purpose of this paper is to provide a technical insight into recent developments in brain‐computer interface (BCI) technology and its applications.
How do you decommission a nuclear installation? Call in the robots
Richard BlossThe purpose of this paper is to describe an innovative project to safely cleanup and decommission a major nuclear facility.
High‐level programming and control for industrial robotics: using a hand‐held accelerometer‐based input device for gesture and posture recognition
Pedro Neto, J. Norberto Pires, A. Paulo MoreiraMost industrial robots are still programmed using the typical teaching process, through the use of the robot teach pendant. This is a tedious and time‐consuming task that requires…
Multichannel audio biofeedback for dynamical coupling between prosthetic hands and their users
José González, Wenwei Yu, Alejandro Hernandez ArietaIt is widely agreed that amputees have to rely on visual input to monitor and control the position of the prosthesis while reaching and grasping because of the lack of…
Improving wheelchair‐driving using a sensor system to control wheelchair‐veer and variable‐switches as an alternative to digital‐switches or joysticks
David A. Sanders, Martin Langner, Giles E. TewkesburyThe purpose of this paper is to present powered‐wheelchair transducers and systems that provide more control, reduced veer on slopes, and improved energy conservation, while…
A study on application of multi‐sensor information fusion in pulsed GTAW
Bo Chen, Jifeng Wang, Shanben ChenWelding sensor technology is the key technology in welding process, but a single sensor cannot acquire adequate information to describe welding status. This paper addresses arc…
Development of an autonomous in‐pipe robot for offshore pipeline maintenance
Zhongwei Wang, Qixin Cao, Nan Luan, Lei ZhangThe purpose of this paper is to develop a novel autonomous in‐pipe robot to perform the preventive point reparation for long‐distance offshore oil pipelines.
An industrial robot for thin‐type space solar cells bonding
Peibo Li, Z. Fu, Yanzheng ZhaoThe purpose of this paper is to present a serial produced industrial robot for thin‐type space solar cells (SSC), which is applied to perform the bonding process of SSC.
The path‐tracking controller based on dynamic model with slip for one four‐wheeled OMR
Yanwen Huang, Qixin Cao, Chuntao LengThis paper aims to propose a suitable motion control method for omni‐directional mobile robots (OMRs). In RoboCup competition, the robot moves in a dynamic and oppositional…
Paint deposition pattern modeling and estimation for robotic air spray painting on free‐form surface using the curvature circle method
Wei Xia, Sheng‐Rui Yu, Xiao‐Ping LiaoThe purpose of this paper is to establish a paint deposition pattern model applied to robotic air spray painting in order to achieve the accuracy and uniformity of paint film…
