Welding technology has obtained access virtually to every branch of manufacturing; to name a few bridges, ships, rail road equipments, building constructions, boilers, pressure vessels, pipe lines, automobiles, aircrafts, launch vehicles, and nuclear power plants. Especially in India, welding technology needs constant upgrading, particularly in field of industrial and power generation boilers, high voltage generation equipment and transformers and in nuclear aero-space industry.

Computers have already entered the field of weld ....etc

Real-time people tracking for mobile robots using thermal vision




Abstract

This paper presents a vision-based approach for tracking people on a mobile robot using thermal images. The approach combines a particle
filter with two alternative measurement models that are suitable for real-time tracking. With this approach a person can be detected independently
from current light conditions and in situations where no skin colour is visible.

Introduction

As research robots move closer towards re ....etc

Abstract
Swarm-bots consist of a collection of mobile robots able to self-assemble and to self-organize so to
solve problems that could not be solved by a single robot. They combines the power of swarm
intelligence and the flexibility of self-reconfiguration as aggregate swarm-bots have the ability to
dynamically change their structure to match environmental variability.
SWARM-BOTS, a project funded by the Future and Emerging Technologies program of the
European Community (project IST-2000-31010), focuses on the design and the imp ....etc

Definition
In order to respond to rapidly changing environment and market, it is imperative to have such capabilities as flexibility, adaptability, reusability, etc. for the manufacturing system. The fractal manufacturing system is one of the new manufacturing paradigms for this purpose. A basic component of fractal manufacturing system, called a basic fractal unit (BFU), consists of five functional modules such as an observer, an analyzer, an organizer, a resolver, and a reporter. Each module autonomously cooperates and negotiates with others ....etc

INTRODUCTION

In the past two decades it is estimated that disasters are responsible for about 3 million deaths worldwide, 800million people adversely affected, and property damage exceeding US$50 billion. The recent earthquake in Turkey in November of 1999 left 700 dead and 5000 injured. Many of these deaths were from structural collapse as buildings fell down onto people. Urban Search and Rescue involves the location, rescue (extrication), and initial medical stabilization of victims trapped in confined spaces. Voids formed when a building ....etc

A robot designed for a single purpose can perform some specific task well but poorly on some other task, especially in a different environment. A fixed-architecture machine is acceptable if the environment is structured, but for tasks in unknown environments, a robot with the ability to change shape to suit the new environment and the required functionality is more likely to succeed than is its fixed-architecture counterpart. Our vision for ultimate robotic design and functionality is to create vastly more versatile robots by building them out ....etc
