1. Automated Vehicles For Physically and Visually Challenged
Of late road traffic becomes congested and unmanageable. Notwithstanding the fact that Government takes all steps to reduce congestion, in view of increasing two wheelers, four wheelers not to speak of autos, all important roads are abound with vehicles. Further, many persons do not drive with diligent- neither they think of themselves nor of others. In the circumstances, it is of dire need that with the available infrastructure we should do something for the benefit of the society as a whole. In this context we have developed a mechanism of fuzzy logic which reduces the accidents and also helps for physically/visually challenged persons. The proposed system will reduce the accidents by neighboring vehicle detection, obstacle detection, controlling the vehicle speed, traffic light detection and signboard detections. All these above mentioned facilities are automated (i.e.) with out any human interventions. One of the main advantages of our system is that we don’t need to replace the existing vehicles, placing the circuit in speedometer is enough. Another main advantage is that the same circuit that we have designed can also be extended to DEFENCE, SPACE RESEARCH, WHEEL CHAIRS etc.. 2008
2. Coal Mine Detect and Rescue Robot Design and Research
Coal mine is a dangerous field, varies fatal factors menace people. Especially after coal mine disaster, rescuer doesn't know mine tunnel situation. It is very dangerous to go into mine tunnel without environment detect because second explosion may occur. Coal mine detect and rescue robot is a kind of mobile robot. It can go into explosion environment and detect gas content, temperature, etc. The date can send to control man in safe field. This paper designs a coal mine detect and rescue robot. It has many characters suitable to mine tunnel. It is compose of mechanic, electric, computer, control, communicate, sensor, etc. It can run in explosion environment, climb ruins, check gas, and carry some food and medicine to people pin down in a disaster. This robot can rescue many people in coal mine disaster.

6. GPS-Based Path Following Control for a Car-Like Wheeled Mobile Robot With Skidding and Slipping
Most wheeled mobile robot (WMR) controllers have been developed based on nonskidding and nonslipping assumptions. Unfortunately, wheel skidding and slipping are inevitable due to wheel tire-deformation; consequently, the stability and performance of these controllers are not guaranteed. This brief aims to develop a global positioning system (GPS)-based path following a controller for a car-like wheeled mobile robot in the presence of wheel skidding and slipping. The proposed control scheme uses real-time kinematic (RTK)-GPS and other aiding sensors to measure the WMR's posture, velocities, and perturbations due to wheel skidding and slipping. These measurements are applied to compensate the path following errors based on a backstepping controller. The reported experimental results validate the control scheme. With this solution, the WMR is able to maneuver with better precision in outdoor environments in the presence of wheel skidding and slipping. 2008
7. Real-time Bluetooth communication system for control of a mobile robot
This paper presents a measurement platform of Bluetooth asynchronous links in order to obtain the intrinsic temporal constraints of this network and communication protocol. These temporal measurements are necessary for the application the authors wish to implement for mobile robot control through a Bluetooth communication link. The platform, as well as the measurement protocol, which is based on real-time communication operating systems, is presented. An application of radio and temporal data processing allowing a real-time evaluation of the global behaviour of the communicating system has been developed. 2008
8. The design and implementation of an autonomous campus patrol robot
This paper presents the design and implementation of a campus-patrol robot project. Autonomous patrol and web-presence are set as two basic functionalities of the campus-patrol robot. The robot is equipped with diverse sensors. Different data fusion techniques have been applied. An extended Kalman filter (EKF) is used to fuse the data from GPS and electronic compass for the localization and navigation task. And a Bayesian data fusion strategy is used to solve the problem of obstacle detection and avoidance. The web presence of the patrol robot is assured through a website and a web-based remote control platform which allows users to access the real images captured by the patrol robot and to control the viewing angle from a remote place via Internet. Keywords: autonomous patrol robot; multi-sensor data fusion; obstacle avoidance. 2008
9. Develop a Multiple Interface Based Fire Fighting Robot
The security of home, laboratory, office, factory and building is important to human life. We develop an intelligent multisensor based security system that contains a fire fighting robot in our daily life. The security system can detect abnormal and dangerous situation and notify us. First, we design a fire fighting robot with extinguisher for the intelligent building. The fire fighting robot is constructed using aluminum frame. The contour of the robot is cylinder. The diameter is 50 cm, and height is about 130 cm. There are six systems in the fire fighting robot, including structure, avoidance obstacle and driver system, software development system, fire detection, remote supervise system and others. We design the fire detection system using two flame sensors in the fire fighting robot. We design the fire detection system in the fire fighting robot, and program the fire detection and fighting procedure using sensor based method. We design a low cost based obstacle detection modular using IR sensor and ultrasonic sensor in the robot. We think that man-machine interface in the fire fighting robot that must has mobility and convenience, we use touch screen to display system status, and design a general user interface (GUI) on the touch screen. Finally, we implement the fire detection system using fire fighting robot. If fire accident is true, the robot can find out fire source using the proposed method by fire detection system, and move to fire source to fight the fire using extinguish. 2007
10. Remote-controlled Home Robot Server with Zigbee Sensor Network
Recently, interest of general public toward ubiquitous home network has immensely increased and wireless PAN (personal area network) has attracted strong attentions as short-distance networking solution. Convenience of wireless PAN technology has attracted more attentions over traditional wired home network devices such as Ethernet, PLC and HomePNA since it requires no cabling work. In the future, home server will be combined with robot to provide functionalities identical to current home service robot as well as to implement more effective and spontaneous server. In this paper, embedded board has proposed as a home server for an efficient control of internal information and conditions of house from remote location and virtual home robot server to be implemented with Zigbee sensor network 2007
11. Design and Implementation of Internet Based Healthcare Robot System
Year Of Publishing : 2007
With the increase of aging people, the task to maintain the health care level becomes heavier. To compensate for shortages of nurses and reduce the stress of nursing work, we have attempted to create an Internet based mobile robot system for hospitals or home healthcare. In this paper, we described a feasibility study and a basic platform design of a teleoperated healthcare service system via the Internet. We started from a literature review in the research on this topic. We then presented HSR-I, a new modular platform for Internet based mobile robotic systems including design principles, hardware and software architecture. Field tests at hospital facilities have confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed system equipped with the capability for navigation by visual information and friendly human-robot interface
12. Design of a collaborative wheelchair with path guidance assistance
Year Of Publishing : 2006
This paper describes the development and assessment of a Collaborative Wheelchair Assistant (CWA). The concept at the heart of the CWA is to rely on the user’s motion planning skills and assist the maneuvering with path guidance. The user decides where to go and controls the speed (including
start and stop), while the system guides the wheelchair along software-defined paths. An intuitive path editor allows the user to modify the path on-line and so avoid dangers or obstacles.
By using the human sensory and planning systems, complex sensor processing and artificial decision systems are not needed, making the system safe, simple and low-cost. Experimental results
demonstrate this concept.

14. Building a Smart Home Environment for Service Robots Based on RFID and Sensor Networks
Year Of Publishing : 2007
This paper is concerned with constructing a prototype smart home environment which has been built in the research building of Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH) to demonstrate the practicability of a robot-assisted future home environment. Key functionalities that a home service robot must provide are localization, navigation, object recognition and object handling. A considerable amount of research has been conducted to make the service robot perform these operations with its own sensors, actuators and a knowledge database. With all heavy sensors, actuators and a database, the robot could have performed the given tasks in a limited environment or showed the limited capabilities in a natural environment. We initiated a smart home environment project for light-weight service robots to provide reliable services by interacting with the environment through the wireless sensor networks. This environment consists of the following three main components: smart objects with an radio frequency identification (RFID) tag and smart appliances with sensor network functionality; the home server that connects smart devices as well as maintains information for reliable services; and the service robots that perform tasks in collaboration with the environment. In this paper, we introduce various types of smart devices which are developed for assisting the robot by providing sensing and actuation, and present our approach on the integration of these devices to construct the smart home environment. Finally, we discuss the future directions of our project.
