Also, the existing route should be optimal. The definition of optimality in routing is the same as minimizing the route, in other words, the best possible route to reach the destination. In most of the routing methods, the environment is known, although, in reality, environments are unpredictable;But with the help of simple methods and simple changes in the overall program, one can see a good view of the route and obstacles ahead. In this research, a method for solving robot routing problem using cellular automata and genetic algorithm is presented.In this method, the working space model and the objective function calculation are defined by cellular automata, and the generation of initial responses and acceptable responses is done using the genetic algorithm.During the experiments and the comparison we made, we found that the proposed algorithm yielded a path of 28.48 if the lengths of the paths obtained in an environment similar to the other algorithm of 15 / 32, 29.5 and 29.49, which is more than the proposed method. تفاصيل المقالة -

It is necessary to take into consideration the cable dynamics, i.e.; its mass, flexibility and curved shape for manipulating a long-span CDPM. These terms complicate governing equation of motion in a way that special tactic are applied for simulation and solving this problem. Flexibility and mass of cables impose vibration and error in path trajectory planning. Effect of varying stiffness in precise performance of CDPM is surveyed. The cables are modelled, in ADAMS software to illustrate the dynamical behaviours of the manipulator for comparison with the simulated results. Moreover, an algorithm is developed to study the effects of velocity and acceleration of the end-effector on the dynamics of CDPMs. Moreover it is shown that the evolutionary computing algorithms are so effective in solving complicated nonlinear dynamic path trajectory planning. Simulations for different trajectories of two CDPMs are included to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. تفاصيل المقالة -

To design the neural network, first a performance index has been defined as sum of square of error tracking of final executor. Then, obstacle avoidance scheme is presented based on its space coordinate and its minimum distance between the obstacle and each of robot links and proper inequality equations have been derived which describe the qualification of obstacle avoidance. Moreover, nonlinear optimization problem with nonlinear constraint functions has been derived by considering the joint physical limits. In order to design the neural network, equivalent problem of projection theorem has been converted to quadratic programming by using Kuhn-Tucker 1optimality conditions. Based on the projection theorem, model of recurrent neural network has been determined which is as a first order differential equation. Simulation results show the good performance of the proposed method by applying the proposed algorithm on the seven-degree freedom PA-10 robot. تفاصيل المقالة -

There are some trajectories that underactuated robots, like quadrotors, are unable to track; hence a suitable trajectory should be designed with respect to the robot's dynamics. In this paper, the initial trajectory is generated by Rapidly-exploring Random Tree Star algorithm which is not suitable for quadrotor application. Then, the initial trajectory is improved by an extension of Path Integral Policy Improvement with Covariance Matrix Adaption (PI2-CMA) algorithm. The extension includes improving tracking algorithm and controller performance considering low-rate control command. Our proposed algorithm succeeded to reduce the cost of tracking by designing safer and shorter trajectories which are more suitable for real robots. Furthermore, the results show that the proposed tracking algorithm and controller improve the performance of tracking. The hardware requirements for implementing our proposed method are a webcam and a personal computer; therefore with a low-cost implementation of the proposed method, a suitable trajectory is designed. In this paper, the initial trajectory is improved by an extension of PI2-CMA algorithm in which the trajectory tracking is performed such that reciprocating motions are avoided. Also, desired velocity and acceleration are used by controller for better tracking. تفاصيل المقالة -

The objective of the algorithm is to find a path through other playing robots to the ball, which should be as short as possible and also safe enough. Ferguson splines create preliminary paths using random generated parameters. The random parameters are then iteratively fed into the PSO for optimization and converging to optimal path. Our proposed method makes a balance between the path shortness and the safety which makes it more efficient for humanoid soccer playing robots and also for any other crowded environment with various moving obstacles. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm converges in at most 60 iterations with the average accuracy of 92% and the maximum path length overhead of 14% for planning the shortest and yet safest path. تفاصيل المقالة -

In order to optimize the parameters of Ferguson Spline some evolutionary or intelligent algorithms are proposed in the literature. In this paper, we present a comparative study on different evolutionary and swarm algorithms as solutions to the problem of robot path planning. We optimize the parameters of Ferguson Spline and find the best path between two arbitrary points, studying Differential Evaluation (DE), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Evolutionary Strategies (ES), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), and Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms. Firstly, a path for robot movement is describe by Ferguson splines and then these algorithms are used to optimize the parameters of splines to find an optimal path between the starting and the goal point considering the obstacles between them. The experimental results show the performance and effectiveness of the studied solutions in comparison with other swarm intelligent algorithms. تفاصيل المقالة -

This paper presents a hybrid robust method for navigating an industrial robot in an environment that contains dynamic obstacles. The objectives are to find the shortest path, to minimize the energy consumption of robot, to make the smoothness of the generated paths and to tackle dynamic obstacles. Robots employed in industrial environments demand considerable autonomy and require high level of accuracy and manoeuvrability at the same time. Besides, no collision is tolerable along the way. A single-objective optimization method based on path criteria fails to satisfy all of the requirements. This paper proposes a hybrid algorithm including the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) for path planning, a learnable function approximation network for making smoothness of the generated paths and a fuzzy logic controller to avoid obstacle collision. In this algorithm, WOA optimizes the best path to be taken from the start to goal position. Once a sequence of points is candidate and segments of path are merged, a radial basis function is trained to provide a smooth movement path in the dynamic environment while trying to maximize the safety margin. To further improve the safety of navigation, a fuzzy-based obstacle avoidance algorithm is executed when the robot is placed in the vicinity of an obstacle. Fuzzy decisions are made based on values of distance information. The proposed hybrid method for path planning and obstacle avoidance issues was implemented and evaluated in dynamic environments including specific shaped obstacles. A GUI-based simulation platform was designed in Matlab environment for testing the proposed algorithm. Implementation results indicate that the proposed algorithm has yielded in smooth non-marginal goal-directed navigation with acceptable performance metrics. Meanwhile, collisions to dynamic obstacles were adaptively and non-rigidly avoided. Such a model-free hybrid algorithm for path planning and obstacle avoidance can improve autonomy in industrial operation and decrease computational complexity. تفاصيل المقالة -

The plasma arc is used in EAF to generate heat for melting scarp or direct reduced iron (DRI). The liquid metal is drained from the EAF through the tap hole. Nowadays, it is critical to use Automated/robotic tools for opening the tap hole with oxygen lancing. Because many workers have been blinded by spraying molten particles in opening operation. This study was aimed to simulate a robot manipulator with five degrees of freedom designed for opening the tap hole of an electrical arc furnace. The geometrical model of the robot was designed in Solid works software according to the real workplace and its expected path and obstacles. The Newton-Euler approach was employed to derive the dynamic equations and the resultant joint torques. The dynamic model is used to obtain the operating torques of the joints as well as in the simulation using the SimMechanic toolbox in Matlab software. The results of the simulation with SimMechanic show that the control system can follow the desired path of the robot with acceptable accuracy. تفاصيل المقالة -
