RobotsA robot is an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose, mani pulating machine with several reprogrammable axes, which may be either fixed in place or mobile for use in industrial automation applications.The key words are reprogrammable and multipurpose because most single-purpose machines do not meet these two requirements.The term”reprogrammabl e” implies two things:The robot operates according to a written program can b e rewritten to accomdate a variety of manufacturing tasks. The term “multipurp ose” means that the robot can perform many different functions, depending on the program and tooling currently in use.Over the past two decades,the robot has been introduced into industry to perform many monotonous and often unsafe operations. Because robots can per form certain basic tasks more quickly and accurately than humans, they are bei ng increasingly used in various manufacturing industries.Structures of RobotsThe typical structure of industrial robots consists of 4 major components: the manipulator, the end effector, the power supply and control syterm.The manipulator is a mechanical unite that provides motions similar to those of a human arm. It often has a shoulder joint,an elbow and a wrist. It can rotate or slide, strech out and withdraw in every possible direction with certain flexibility.The basic mechanical configurations of the robot manipulator are categorized as Cartesian, cylindrical, spherical and articulated.A robot with a Cartesian geometry can move its gripper to any position within the cube or rectangle defined as its working volum.Cylindrical coordinate robots can move the gripper within a volum that is described by a cylinder. The cylindrical coordinate robot is positioned in the work area by two linear movements in the X and Y directions and one angular rotation about the Z axis.Spherical arm geometry robots have an irregular work envelop. This type of robot has two main variants,vertically articulated and horizontally articulated.The end effector attaches itself to the end of the robot wrist, also called end-of-arm tooling.It is the device intended for performing the designed operations as a human hand can.End effectors are generally custom-made to meet special handling requirements. Mechanical grippers are the most commonly used and are equipped with two or more fingers.The selection of an appropriate end effector for a special application depends on such factors as the payload, enviyonment,reliability,and cost.The power supply is the actuator for moving the robot arm, controlling the joints and operating the end effector. The basic type of power sources include electrical,pneumatic, and hydraulic. Each source of energy and each type of motor has its own characteristics, advantages and limitations. An ac-powered motor or dc-powered motor may be used depending on the system design and applications. These motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to power the robot.Most new robots use electrical power supply. Pneumatic actuators have been used for high speed. Nonservo robots and are often used for powering tooling such as grippers. Hydraulic actuators have been used for heavier lift systems, typically where accuracy was not also requied.The contro system is the communications and information-processing system that gives commands for the movements of the robot. It is the brain of the robot; it sends signals to the power source to move the robot arm to a specific position and to the end effector.It is also the nerves of the robot; it is reprogrammable to send out sequences of instructions for all movements and actions to be taken by the robot.A open-loop controller is the simplest for of the control system, which controls the robot only by foolowing the predetermined step-by-step instructions.This system dose not have a self-correcting capability.A close-loop control system use feedback sensors to produce signals that reflct the current states of the controed objects. By comparing those feedback signals with the values set by the programmer, the close-loop controller can conduct the robot to move to the precise position and assume the desired attitude, and the end effector can perform with very high accuracy as the close-loop control system can minimize the discrepancy between the controlled object and the predetermined references.Classification of RobotIndustrial robots vary widely in size,shape, number of axes,degrees of freedom, and design configuration. Each factor influence the dimensions of the robot’s working envelop or the volume of space within which it can move and perform its designated task. A broader classification of robots can been described as below.Fixed-and Variable-Sequence Robots. The fixed-sequence robot (also called a pick-and place robot) is programmed for a specific sequence of operations. Its movements are form point to point, and the cycle is repeated continuously.The variable-sequence robot can be programmed for a specific sequence of operations but can be programmed to perform another sequence of operation.Playback Robot. An operator leads or walks the playback robot and its end effector through the desired path. The robot memorizes and records the path and sequence of motions and can repeat them continually without any further action or guidance by the operator.Numerically Controlled Robot. The numerically controlled robot is programmed and operated much like a numerically controlled machine. The robot is servocontrolled by digital data, and its sequence of movements can be changed with relative ease.Intelligent Robot. The intelligent robot is capable of performing some of the functions and tasks carried out by huanbeings.It is equipped with a variety of sensors with visual and tactile capabilities.Robot ApplicationsThe robot is a very special type of productin tool; as a result, the applications in which robots are used are quite broad. These applications can be grouped into three categories: material processing, material handling and assembly.In material processing, robots use tools to process the raw material. For example, the robot tools could include a drill and the robot would be able to perfor drilling operaytions on raw material.Material handling consists of the loading, unloading, and transferring of workpieces in manufacturing facilities. These operations can be performed relatively and repeatedly with robots, thereby improving quality and scrap losses.Assembly is another large application area for using robotics. An automatic assembly system can incorporate automatic testing, robot automation and mechanical handling for reducing labor costs, increasing output and eliminating manual handling concers.机器人机器人是一种自动控制的、可重复编程的、多功能的、由几个可重复编程的坐标系来操纵机器的装置，它可以被固定在某地，还可以是移动的以在工业自动化工厂中使用。

XX设计(XX)外文资料翻译A Visual-Sensor Model for Mobile Robot Localisation Matthias Fichtner Axel Gro_mannArti_cial Intelligence InstituteDepartment of Computer ScienceTechnische Universit•at DresdenTechnical Report WV-03-03/CL-2003-02AbstractWe present a probabilistic sensor model for camera-pose estimation in hallways and cluttered o_ce environments. The model is based on the comparison of features obtained from a given 3D geometrical model of the environment with features present in the camera image. The techniques involved are simpler than state-of-the-art photogrammetric approaches. This allows the model to be used in probabilistic robot localisation methods. Moreover, it is very well suited for sensor fusion. The sensor model has been used with Monte-Carlo localisation to track the position of a mobile robot in a hallway navigation task. Empirical results are presented for this application.1 IntroductionThe problem of accurate localisation is fundamental to mobile robotics. To solve complex tasks successfully, an autonomous mobile robot has to estimate its current pose correctly and reliably. The choice of the localization method generally depends on the kind and number of sensors, the prior knowledge about the operating environment, and the computing resources available. Recently, vision-based navigation techniques have become increasingly popular [3]. Among the techniques for indoor robots, we can distinguish methods that were developed in the _eld of photogrammetry and computer vision, and methods that have their origin in AI robotics.An important technical contribution to the development of vision-based navigation techniques was the work by [10] on the recognition of 3D-objects from unknown viewpoints in single images using scale-invariant features. Later, this technique was extended to global localisation and simultaneous map building [11].The FINALE system [8] performed position tracking by using a geometrical model of the environment and a statistical model of uncertainty in the robot's pose given the commanded motion. The robot's position is represented by a Gaussian distribution and updated by Kalman _ltering. The search for corresponding features in camera image and world model is optimized by projecting the pose uncertainty into the camera image.Monte Carlo localisation (MCL) based on the condensation algorithm has been applied successfully to tour-guide robots [1]. This vision-based Bayesian _ltering technique uses a sampling-based density representation. In contrast to FINALE, it canrepresent multi-modal probability distributions. Given a visual map of the ceiling, it localises the robot globally using a scalar brightness measure. [4] presented avision-based MCL approach that combines visual distance features and visual landmarks in a RoboCup application. As their approach depends on arti_cial landmarks, it is not applicable in o_ce environments.The aim of our work is to develop a probabilistic sensor model for camerapose estimation. Given a 3D geometrical map of the environment, we want to find an approximate measure of the probability that the current camera image has been obtained at a certain place in the robot's operating environment. We use this sensor model with MCL to track the position of a mobile robot navigating in a hallway. Possibly, it can be used also for localization in cluttered o_ce environments and for shape-based object detection.On the one hand, we combine photogrammetric techniques for map-based feature projection with the exibility and robustness of MCL, such as the capability to deal with localisation ambiguities. On the other hand, the feature matching operation should be su_ciently fast to allow sensor fusion. In addition to the visual input, we want to use the distance readings obtained from sonars and laser to improve localisation accuracy.The paper is organised as follows. In Section 2, we discuss previous work. In Section 3, we describe the components of the visual sensor model. In Section 4, we present experimental results for position tracking using MCL. We conclude in Section 5.2 Related WorkIn classical approaches to model-based pose determination, we can distinguish two interrelated problems. The correspondence problem is concerned with _nding pairs of corresponding model and image features. Before this mapping takes place, the model features are generated from the world model using a given camera pose. Features are said to match if they are located close to each other. Whereas the pose problem consists of _nding the 3D camera coordinates with respect to the origin of the world model given the pairs of corresponding features [2]. Apparently, the one problem requires the other to be solved beforehand, which renders any solution to the coupled problem very di_cult [6].The classical solution to the problem above follows a hypothesise-and-test approach: (1)Given a camera pose estimate, groups of best matching feature pairs provideinitial guesses (hypotheses).(2)For each hypothesis, an estimate of the relative camera pose is computed byminimising a given error function de_ned over the associated feature pairs. (3)Now as there is a more accurate pose estimate available for each hypothesis, theremaining model features are projected onto the image using the associatedcamera pose. The quality of the match is evaluated using a suitable error function, yielding a ranking among all hypotheses.(4)The highest-ranking hypothesis is selected.Note that the correspondence problem is addressed by steps (1) and (3), and the poseproblem by (2) and (4).The performance of the algorithm will depend on the type of features used, e.g., edges, line segments, or colour, and the choice of the similarity measure between image and model, here referred to as error function. Line segments is the feature type of our choice as they can be detected comparatively reliably under changing illumination conditions. As world model, we use a wire-frame model of the operating environment, represented in VRML. The design of a suitable similarity measure is far more difficult.In principle, the error function is based on the di_erences in orientation between corresponding line segments in image and model, their distance and difference in length, in order of decreasing importance, in consideration of all feature pairs present. This has been established in the following three common measures [10]. e3D is defined by the sum of distances between model line endpoints and the corresponding plane given by camera origin and image line. This measure strongly depends on the distance to the camera due to back-projection. e2D;1, referred to as in_nite image lines, is the sum over the perpendicular distances of projected model line endpoints to corresponding, in_nitely extended lines in the image plane. The dual measure, e2D;2, referred to as in_nite model lines, is the sum over all distances of image line endpoints to corresponding, in_nitely extended model lines in the image plane.To restrict the search space in the matching step, [10] proposed to constrain the number of possible correspondences for a given pose estimate by combining line features into perceptual, quasi-invariant structures beforehand. Since these initial correspondences are evaluated by e2D;1 and e2D;2, high demands are imposed on the accuracy of the initial pose estimate and the image processing operations, includingthe removal of distortions and noise and the feature extraction. It is assumed to obtain all visible model lines at full length. [12, 9] demonstrated that a few outliers already can severely affect the initial correspondences in Lowe's original approach due to frequent truncation of lines caused by bad contrast, occlusion, or clutter.3 Sensor ModelOur approach was motivated by the question whether a solution to the correspondence problem can be avoided in the estimation of the camera pose. Instead, we propose to perform a relatively simple, direct matching of image and model features. We want to investigate the level of accuracy and robustness one can achieve this way.The processing steps involved in our approach are depicted in Figure 1. After removing the distortion from the camera image, we use the Canny operator to extract edges. This operator is relatively tolerant to changing illumination conditions. From the edges, line segments are identi_ed. Each line is represented as a single point (_; _) in the 2D Hough space given by _ = x cos _ + y sin _. The coordinates of the end points are neglected. In this representation, truncated or split lines will have similar coordinates in the Hough space. Likewise, the lines in the 3D map are projected onto the image plane using an estimate of the camera pose and taking into account the visibility constraints, and are represented as coordinates in the Hough space as well. We have designed several error functions to be used as similarity measure in the matching step. They are described in the following.Centred match count (CMC)The first similarity measure is based on the distance of line segments in the Hough space. We consider only those image features as possible matches that lie within a rectangular cell in the Hough space centred around the model feature. The matches are counted and the resulting sum is normalised. The mapping from the expectation (model features) to the measurement (image features) accounts for the fact that the measure should be invariant with respect to objects not modelled in the 3D map or unexpected changes in the operating environment. Invariance of the number of visible features is obtained by normalisation. Speci_cally, the centred match count measure sCMC is defined by:where the predicate p de_nes a valid match using the distance parameters (t_; t_) and the operator # counts the number of matches. Generally speaking, this similarity measure computes the proportion of expected model Hough points hei 2 He that are con_rmed by at least one measured image Hough point hmj 2 Hm falling within tolerance (t_; t_). Note that neither endpoint coordinates nor lengths are considered here.Grid length match (GLM)The second similarity measure is based on a comparison of the total length values of groupes of lines. Split lines in the image are grouped together using a uniform discretisation of the Hough space. This method is similar to the Hough transform for straight lines. The same is performed for line segments obtained from the 3D model. Let lmi;j be the sum of lengths of measured lines in the image falling into grid cell (i; j), likewise lei;j for expected lines according to the model, then the grid length match measure sGLM is de_ned as:For all grid cells containing model features, this measure computes the ratio of the total line length of measured and expected lines. Again, the mapping is directional, i.e., the model is used as reference, to obtain invariance of noise, clutter, and dynamic objects.Nearest neighbour and Hausdorf distanceIn addition, we experimented with two generic methods for the comparison of two sets of geometric entities: the nearest neighbour and the Hausdor_ distance. For details see [7]. Both rely on the de_nition of a distance function, which we based on the coordinates in the Hough space, i.e., the line parameter _ and _, and optionally the length, in a linear and exponential manner. See [5] for a complete description. Common error functionsFor comparisons, we also implemented the commonly used error functions e3D,e2D;1, and e2D;2. As they are de_ned in the Cartesian space, we represent lines in the Hessian notation, x sin _ y cos _ = d. Using the generic error function f, we de_ned the similarity measure as:where M is the set of measured lines and E is the set of expected lines. In case ofe2D;1, f is de_ned by the perpendicular distances between both model line endpoints, e1, e2, and the in_nitely extended image line m:Likewise, the dual similarity measure, using e2D;2, is based on the perpendicular distances between the image line endpoints and the in_nitely extended model line. Recalling that the error function e3D is proportional to the distances of model line endpoints to the view plane through an image line and the camera origin, we can instantiate Equation 1 using f3D(m; e) de_ned as:where ~nm denotes the normal vector of the view plane given by the image endpoints ~mi = [mx;my;w]T in camera coordinates.Obtaining probabilitiesIdeally, we want the similarity measure to return monotonically decreasing values as the pose estimate used for projecting the model features departs from the actual camera pose. As we aim at a generally valid yet simple visual-sensor model, the idea is to abstract from speci_c poses and environmental conditions by averaging over a large number of di_erent, independent situations. For commensurability, we want to express the model in terms of relative robot coordinates instead of absolute world coordinates. In other words, we assumeto hold, i.e., the probability for the measurement m, given the pose lm this image has been taken at, the pose estimate le, and the world model w, is equal to the probability of this measurement given a three-dimensional pose deviation 4l and the world model w.The probability returned by the visual-sensor model is obtained by simple scaling:4 Experimental ResultsWe have evaluated the proposed sensor model and similarity measures in a series of experiments. Starting with arti_cially created images using idealized conditions, we have then added distortions and noise to the tested images. Subsequently, we have used real images from the robot's camera obtained in a hallway. Finally, we have usedthe sensor model to track the position of the robot while it was travelling through the hallway. In all these cases, a three-dimensional visualisation of the model was obtained, which was then used to assess the solutions.Simulations using arti_cially created imagesAs a first kind of evaluation, we generated synthetic image features by generating a view at the model from a certain camera pose. Generally speaking, we duplicated the right-hand branch of Figure 1 onto the left-hand side. By introducing a pose deviation 4l, we can directly demonstrate its inuence on the similarity values. For visualisation purposes, the translational deviations 4x and 4y are combined into a single spatial deviation 4t. Initial experiments have shown only insigni_cant di_erences when they were considered independently.Fig. 2: Performance of CMC on arti_cially created images.For each similarity measure given above, at least 15 million random camera poses were coupled with a random pose deviation within the range of 4t < 440cm and 4_ < 90_ yielding a model pose.The results obtained for the CMC measure are depicted in Figure 2. The surface of the 3D plot was obtained using GNUPLOT's smoothing operator dgrid3d. We notice a unique, distinctive peak at zero deviation with monotonically decreasing similarity values as the error increases. Please note that this simple measure considers neither endpoint coordinates nor lengths of lines. Nevertheless, we obtain already a decent result.While the resulting curve for the GLM measure resembles that of CMC, the peak is considerably more distinctive. This conforms to our anticipation since taking the length of image and model lines into account is very signi_cant here. In contrast to the CMC measure, incidental false matches are penalised in this method, due to the differing lengths.The nearest neighbour measure turned out to be not of use. Although linear and exponential weighting schemes were tried, even taking the length of line segmentsinto account, no distinctive peak was obtained, which caused its exclusion from further considerations.The measure based on the Hausdor_ distance performed not as good as the first two, CMC and GLM, though it behaved in the desired manner. But its moderate performance does not pay off the longest computation time consumed among all presented measures and is subsequently disregarded.So far, we have shown how our own similarity measures perform. Next, we demonstrate how the commonly used error functions behave in this framework.The function e2D;1 performed very well in our setting. The resulting curve closely resembles that of the GLM measure. Both methods exhibit a unique, distinctive peak at the correct location of zero pose deviation. Note that the length of line segments has a direct e_ect on the similarity value returned by measure GLM, while this attribute implicitly contributes to the measure e2D;1, though both linearly. Surprisingly, the other two error functions e2D;2 and e3D performed poorly.Toward more realistic conditionsIn order to learn the e_ect of distorted and noisy image data on our sensor model, we conducted another set of experiments described here. To this end, we applied the following error model to all synthetically generated image features before they are matched against model features. Each original line is duplicated with a small probability (p = 0:2) and shifted in space. Any line longer than 30 pixel is split with probability p=0:3. A small distortion is applied to the parameters (_; _; l) of each line according to a random, zeromean Gaussian. Furthermore, features not present in the model and noise are simulated by adding random lines uniformly distributed in the image. Hereof, the orientation is drawn according to the current distribution of angles to yield fairly `typical' features.The results obtained in these simulations do not di_er significantly from the first set of experiments. While the maximum similarity value at zero deviation decreased, the shape and characteristics of all similarity measures still under consideration remained the same.Using real images from the hallwaySince the results obtained in the simulations above might be questionable with respect to real-world conditions, we conducted another set of experiments replacing the synthetic feature measurements by real camera images.To compare the results for various parameter settings, we gathered images with a Pioneer 2 robot in the hallway o_-line and recorded the line features. For two di_erent locations in the hallway exemplifying typical views, the three-dimensional space of the robot poses (x; y; _) was virtually discretized. After placing the robot manually at each vertex (x; y; 0), it performed a full turn on the spot stepwise recording images. This ensures a maximum accuracy of pose coordinates associated with each image. That way, more than 3200 images have been collected from 64 di_erent (x; y)locations. Similarly to the simulations above, pairs of poses (le; lm) were systematically chosenFig. 3: Performance of GLM on real images from the hallway.from with the range covered by the measurements. The values computed by the sensor model referring to the same discretized value of pose deviation 4l were averaged according to the assumption in Equation 2.The resulting visualisation of the similarity measure over spatial (x and y combined) and rotational deviations from the correct camera pose for the CMC measure exhibits a unique peak at approximately zero deviation. Of course, due to a much smaller number of data samples compared to the simulations using synthetic data, the shape of the curve is much more bumpy, but this is in accordance with our expectation.The result of employing the GLM measure in this setting is shown in Figure 3. As it reveals a more distinctive peak compared to the curve for the CMC measure, it demonstrates the increased discrimination between more and less similar feature maps when taking the lengths of lines into account.Monte Carlo Localisation using the visual-sensor modelRecalling that our aim is to devise a probabilistic sensor model for a camera mounted on a mobile robot, we continue with presenting the results for an application to mobile robot localisation.The generic interface of the sensor model allows it to be used in the correction step of Bayesian localisation methods, for example, the standard version of the Monte Carlolocalisation (MCL) algorithm. Since statistical independence among sensor readings renders one of the underlying assumptions of MCL, our hope is to gain improved accuracy and robustness using the camera instead of or in addition to commonly used distance sensors like sonars or laser.Fig. 4: Image and projected models during localisation.In the experiment, the mobile robot equipped with a _xed-mounted CCD camera had to follow a pre-programmed route in the shape of a double loop in the corridor. On its way, it had to stop at eight pre-de_ned positions, turn to a nearby corner or open view, take an image, turn back and proceed. Each image capture initiated the so-called correction step of MCL and the weights of all samples were recomputed according to the visual-sensor model, yielding the highest density of samples at the potentially correct pose coordinates in the following resampling step. In the prediction step, the whole sample set is shifted in space according to the robot's motion model and the current odometry sensor readings.Our preliminary results look very promising. During the position tracking experiments, i.e., the robot was given an estimate of its starting position, the best hypothesis for the robot's pose was approximately at the correct pose most of the time. In this experiment, we have used the CMC measure. In Figure 4, a typical camera view is shown while the the robots follows the requested path. The grey-level image depicts the visual input for feature extraction after distortion removal andpre-processing. Also the extracted line features are displayed. Furthermore, the world model is projected according to two poses, the odometry-tracked pose and the estimate computed by MCL which approximately corresponds to the correct pose, between which we observe translational and rotational error.The picture also shows that rotational error has a strong inuence on the degree ofcoincidental feature pairs. This effect corresponds to the results presented above, where the figures exhibit a much higher gradient along the axis of rotational deviation than along that of translational deviation. The finding can be explained by the effect of motion on features in the Hough space. Hence, the strength of our camera sensor model lays at detecting rotational disagreement. This property makes it especially suitable for two-wheel driven robots like our Pioneer bearing a much higher rotational odometry error than translational error.5 Conclusions and Future WorkWe have presented a probabilistic visual-sensor model for camera-pose estimation. Its generic design makes it suitable for sensor fusion with distance measurements perceived from other sensors. We have shown extensive simulations under ideal and realistic conditions and identified appropriate similarity measures. The application of the sensor model in a localisation task for a mobile robot met our anticipations. Within the paper we highlighted much scope for improvements.We are working on suitable techniques to quantitatively evaluate the performanceof the devised sensor model in a localisation algorithm for mobile robots. This will enable us to experiment with cluttered environments and dynamic objects. Combining the camera sensor model with distance sensor information using sensor fusion renders the next step toward robust navigation. Because the number of useful features varies significantly as the robots traverses an indoor environment, the idea to steer the camera toward richer views (active vision) offers a promising research path to robust navigation.References[1] F.

Introduction to robotics technologyIn the manufacturing field, robot development has focused on engineering robotic arms that perform manufacturing processes. In the space industry, robotics focuses on highly specialized, one-of-kind planetary rovers. Unlike a highly automated manufacturing plant, a planetary rover operating on the dark side of the moon -- without radio communication -- might run into unexpected situations. At a minimum, a planetary rover must have some source of sensory input, some way of interpreting that input, and a way of modifying its actions to respond to a changing world. Furthermore, the need to sense and adapt to a partially unknown environment requires intelligence (in other words, artificial intelligence).Mechanical platforms -- the hardware baseA robot consists of two main parts: the robot body and some form of artificial intelligence (AI) system. Many different body parts can be called a robot. Articulated arms are used in welding and painting; gantry and conveyor systems move parts in factories; and giant robotic machines move earth deep inside mines. One of the most interesting aspects of robots in general is their behavior, which requires a form of intelligence. The simplest behavior of a robot is locomotion. Typically, wheels are used as the underlying mechanism to make a robot move from one point to the next. And some force such as electricity is required to make the wheels turn under command.MotorsA variety of electric motors provide power to robots, allowing them to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices with variousprogrammed motions. The efficiency rating of a motor describes how much of the electricity consumed is converted to mechanical energy. Let's take a look at some of the mechanical devices that are currently being used in modern robotics technology.Driving mechanismsGears and chains:Gears and chains are mechanical platforms that provide a strong and accurate way to transmit rotary motion from one place to another, possibly changing it along the way. The speed change between two gears depends upon the number of teeth on each gear. When a powered gear goes through a full rotation, it pulls the chain by the number of teeth on that gear.Pulleys and belts:Pulleys and belts, two other types of mechanical platforms used in robots, work the same way as gears and chains. Pulleys are wheels with a groove around the edge, and belts are the rubber loops that fit in that groove.Gearboxes:A gearbox operates on the same principles as the gear and chain, without the chain. Gearboxes require closer tolerances, since instead of using a large loose chain to transfer force and adjust for misalignments, the gears mesh directly with each other. Examples of gearboxes can be found on the transmission in a car, the timing mechanism in a grandfather clock, and the paper-feed of your printer.Power suppliesPower supplies are generally provided by two types of battery. Primary batteries are used once and then discarded; secondary batteries operate from a (mostly) reversible chemical reaction and can be recharged several times. Primary batteries have higher density and a lower self-dischargerate. Secondary (rechargeable) batteries have less energy than primary batteries, but can be recharged up to a thousand times depending on their chemistry and environment. Typically the first use of a rechargeable battery gives 4 hours of continuous operation in an application or robot.SensorsRobots react according to a basic temporal measurement, requiring different kinds of sensors.In most systems a sense of time is built-in through the circuits and programming. For this to be productive in practice, a robot has to have perceptual hardware and software, which updates quickly. Regardless of sensor hardware or software, sensing and sensors can be thought of as interacting with external events (in other words, the outside world). The sensor measures some attribute of the world. The term transducer is often used interchangeably with sensor. A transducer is the mechanism, or element, of the sensor that transforms the energy associated with what is being measured into another form of energy. A sensor receives energy and transmits a signal to a display or computer. Sensors use transducers to change the input signal (sound, light, pressure, temperature, etc.) into an analog or digital form capable of being used by a robot.Microcontroller systemsMicrocontrollers (MCUs) are intelligent electronic devices used inside robots. They deliver functions similar to those performed by a microprocessor (central processing unit, or CPU) inside a personal computer. MCUs are slower and can address less memory than CPUs, but are designed for real-world control problems. One of the major differences between CPUs and MCUs is the number of external components needed tooperate them. MCUs can often run with zero external parts, and typically need only an external crystal or oscillator.Utilities and toolsROBOOP (A robotics object oriented package in C++):This package is an object-oriented toolbox in C++ for robotics simulation. Technical references and downloads are provided in the Resources.CORBA: A real-time communications and object request broker software package for embedding distributed software agents. Each independent piece of software registers itself and its capabilities to the ORB, by means of an IDL (Interface Definition Language). Visit their Web site (see Resources) for technical information, downloads, and documentation for CORBA.TANGO/TACO:This software might be useful for controlling a robotics system with multiple devices and tools. TANGO is an object oriented control system based on CORBA. Device servers can be written in C++ or Java. TACO is object oriented because it treats all(physical and logical) control points in a control system as objects in a distributed environment. All actions are implemented in classes. New classes can be constructed out of existing classes in a hierarchical manner, thereby ensuring a high level of software reuse. Classes can be written in C++, in C (using a methodology called Objects in C), in Python or in LabView (using the G programming language).ControllersTask Control Architecture: The Task Control Architecture (TCA) simplifies building task-level control systems for mobile robots. "Task-level" refers to the integration and coordination of perception, planning, andreal time control to achieve a given set of goals (tasks). TCA provides a general control framework, and is intended to control a wide variety of robots. TCA provides a high-level machine-independent method for passing messages between distributed machines (including between Lisp and C processes). TCA provides control functions, such as task decomposition, monitoring, and resource management, that are common to many mobile robot applications. The Resources section provides technical references and download information for Task Control Architecture.EMC (Enhanced Machine Controller): The EMC software is based on the NIST Real time Control System (RCS) methodology, and is programmed using the NIST RCS Library. The RCS Library eases the porting of controller code to a variety of UNIX and Microsoft platforms, providing a neutral application programming interface (API) to operating system resources such as shared memory, semaphores and timers. The EMC software is written in C and C++, and has been ported to the PC Linux, Windows NT, and Sun Solaris operating systems.Darwin2K: Darwin2K is a free, open source toolkit for robot simulation and automated design. It features numerous simulation capabilities and an evolutionary algorithm capable of automatically synthesizing and optimizing robot designs to meet task-specific performance objectives.LanguagesRoboML (Robotic Markup Language): RoboML is used for standardized representation of robotics-related data. It is designed to support communication language between human-robot interface agents, as well as between robot-hosted processes and between interface processes, and to provide a format for archived data used by human-robot interface agents.ROSSUM: A programming and simulation environment for mobile robots. The Rossum Project is an attempt to help collect, develop, and distribute software for robotics applications. The Rossum Project hopes to extend the same kind of collaboration to the development of robotic software.XRCL (Extensible Robot Control Language): XRCL (pronounced zircle) is a relatively simple, modern language and environment designed to allow robotics researchers to share ideas by sharing code. It is an open source project, protected by the GNU Copyleft.SummaryThe field of robotics has created a large class of robots with basic physical and navigational competencies. At the same time, society has begun to move towards incorporating robots into everyday life, from entertainment to health care. Moreover, robots could free a large number of people from hazardous situations, essentially allowing them to be used as replacements for human beings. Many of the applications being pursued by AI robotics researchers are already fulfilling that potential. In addition, robots can be used for more commonplace tasks such as janitorial work. Whereas robots were initially developed for dirty, dull, and dangerous applications, they are now being considered as personal assistants. Regardless of application, robots will require more rather than less intelligence, and will thereby have a significant impact on our society in the future as technology expands to new horizons.外文出处:Robotic technology / edited by A.

附件1：外文资料翻译译文应用坐标测量机的机器人运动学姿态的标定这篇文章报到的是用于机器人运动学标定中能获得全部姿态的操作装置——坐标测量机（CMM）。
运动学模型由于操作器得到发展, 它们关系到基坐标和工件。
工件姿态是从实验测量中引出的讨论, 同样地是识别方法学。
允许定义观察策略的完全模拟实验已经实现。
实验工作的目的是描写参数辨认和精确确认。
用推论原则的那方法能得到在重复时近连续地校准机器人。
关键字：机器人标定坐标测量参数辨认模拟学习精确增进1. 前言机器手有合理的重复精度(0.3毫米)而知名, 但仍有不好的精确性(10.0 毫米)。
为了实现机器手精确性，机器人可能要校准也是好理解。
在标定过程中，几个连续的步骤能够精确地识别机器人运动学参数，提高精确性。
这些步骤为如下描述：1 操作器的运动学模型和标定过程本身是发展，和通常有标准运动学模型的工具实现的。
作为结果的模型是定义基于厂商的运动学参数设置错误量, 和识别未知的,实际的参数设置。
2 机器人姿态的实验测量法(部分的或完成) 是拿走为了获得从联系到实际机器人的参数设置数据。
3 实际的运动学参数识别是系统地改变参数设置和减少在模型阶段错误量的定义。
一个接近完成辨认由分析不同中间姿态变量P和运动学参数K的微分关系决定：于是等价转化得：两者择一, 问题可以看成为多维的优化问题，这是为了减少一些定义的错误功能到零点，运动学参数设置被改变。
这是标准优化问题和可能解决用的众所周知的方法。
4 最后一步是机械手控制中的机器人运动学识别和在学习之下的硬件系统的详细资料。
包含实验数据的这张纸用于标度过程。
可获得的几个方法是可用于完成这任务, 虽然他们相当复杂，获得数据需要大量的成本和时间。
这样的技术包括使用可视化的和自动化机械，伺服控制激光干涉计，有关声音的传感器和视觉传感器。
理想测量系统将获得操作器的全部姿态(位置和方向)，因为这将合并机械臂各个位置的全部信息。
上面提到的所有方法仅仅用于唯一部分的姿态, 需要更多的数据是为了标度过程到进行。
2．理论文章中的理论描述，为了操作器空间放置的各自的位置，全部姿态是可测量的，虽然进行几个中间测量，是为了获得姿态。
测量姿态使用装置是坐标测量机(CMM),它是三轴的，棱镜测量系统达到0.01毫米的精确。
机器人操作器是能校准的，PUMA 560，放置接近于CMM，特殊的操作装置能到达边缘。
图1显示了系统不同部分安排。
在这部分运动学模型将是发展, 解释姿态估算法，和参数辨认方法。
2.1 运动学的参数在这部分，操作器的基本运动学结构将被规定，它关系到完全坐标系统的讨论, 和终点模型。
从这些模型，用于可能的技术的运动学参数的识别将被规定，和描述决定这些参数的方法。
那些基础的模型工具用于描写不同的物体和工件操作器位置空间的关系的方法是Denavit-Hartenberg 方法，在Hayati 有调整计划，停泊处 和当二连续的接缝轴是名义上地平行的用于说明不相称模型 。
如图2这中方法存在于物体或相互联系的操作杆结构中，和运动学中需要从一个坐标到另一个坐标这种同类变化是被定义的。
这种变化是相同形式的上面的关系可以解释通过四个基本变化操作实现坐标系n-1到结构坐标系n 的变化。
只有需要找到与前一个的关系的四个变化是必需的，在那个时候连续的轴是不平行的，n β定义为零点。
当应用于一个结构到下一个结构的等价变化坐标系与更改Denavit-Hartenberg 系相一致时，它们将被书写成矩阵元素实现运动学参数功能的矩阵形状。
这些参数是变化的简单变量：关节角n θ，连杆偏置n d , 连杆长度n a ，扭角n β，矩阵通常表示如下：对于多连接的, 例如机械操作臂,各自连续的链环和两者瞬间的位置描写在前一个矩阵变化中。
这种变化从底部链环开始到第n 链环因此关系如下：图3表示出PUMA 机器人在Denavit-Hartenberg 系中每一连杆，完全坐标系和工具结构。
变化从世界坐标系到机器人底部结构需要仔细考虑过，因为潜在的参数取决于被选择的改变类型。
考虑到图4,世界坐标w w w z y x ,,，在D-H 系中定义的从世界坐标到机器人基坐标000,,z y x ，坐标b b b z y x ,,是PUMA 机器人定义的基坐标和机器人第二个D-H 结构中坐标111,,z y x 。
我们感兴趣的是从世界坐标到111,,z y x 必需的最小的参数数量。
实现这种变化有两种路径：路径1，从w w w z y x ,,到000,,z y x D-H 变化包括四个参数，接着从000,,z y x 到b b b z y x ,,的变化将牵连二个参数` 和`d 的变化图3图4最后，另外从b b b z y x ,,到111,,z y x 的D-H 变化中有四个参数其中1θ∆和`φ两个参数是关于轴Z 0因此不能独立地识别， 1d ∆和`d 是沿着轴Z 0因此也不能是独立地识别。
因此，用这路径它需要从世界坐标到PUMA 机器人的第一个坐标有八个独立的运动学参数。
路径2，同样地二中择一，从世界坐标到底部结构坐标b b b z y x ,,的变化可以是直接定义。
因此坐标变换需要六个参数，如Euler 形式：下面是从b b b z y x ,,到111,,z y x D －H 变化中的四个参数，但1θ∆与b b b ϕθφ,,相关联，1d ∆与zb yb xb p p p ,,相关联，减少成两个参数。
很显然这种路径和路径1一样需要八个参数，但是设置不同。
上面的方法可能使用于从世界坐标系到PUMA 机器人的第二结构的移动中。
在这工作中，选择路径2。
工具改变引起需要六个特殊参数的改变的Euler 形式：用于运动学模型的参数总数变成30，他们定义于表12.2 辨认方法学运动学的参数辨认将是进行多维的消去过程, 因此避免了雅可比系统的标定，过程如下：1. 首先假设运动学的参数, 例如标准设置。
2. 为选择任意关节角的设置。
3. 计算PUMA机器人末端操作器。
4. 测量PUMA机器人末端操作器的位姿如关节角，通常标准的和预言的位姿将是不同的。
5. 为了最好使预言位姿达到标准的位姿，在整齐的方式更改运动学的参数。
这个过程应用于不是单一的关节角设置而是一定数量的关节角，与物理测量数量等同的全部关节角设置是需要，必须满足在这儿：Kp是识别的运动学参数的数量N是测量位姿的数Dr是测量过程中自由度的数量文章中，给定了自由度的数量，赠值为因此全部位姿是测量的。
在实践中，更多的测量应该是在实验测量法去掉补偿结果。
优化程序使用命名为ZXSSO，和标准库功能的IMSL。
2.3 位姿测量法显然它是从上面的方法确定PUMA机器人全部位姿是必需的为了实现标定。
这种方法现在将详细地描写。
如图5所示，末端操作器由五个确定的工具组成。
考虑到借助于工具坐标和世界坐标中间各个坐标的形式，如图6这些坐标的关系如下：p是关于世界坐标结构的第i个球的4x1列向量坐标, Pi是关于工具坐标结构,i第i个球的4x1坐标的列向量, T是从世界坐标结构到工具坐标结构变化的4x4矩阵。
设定Pi，测量出,p，然后算出T，使用于在标定过程的位姿的测量。
它是不会i很简单，但是不可能由等式(11)反求出T。
上面的过程由四个球A, B, C和D来实现，如下：或为由于P`, T 和P 全部相符合，反解求的位姿矩阵在实践中当PUMA 机器人放置在确定的位置上，对于CMM 由四个球决定Pi 是困难的。
准确的测量三个球，第四球根据十字相乘可以获得考虑到决定的球中心坐标的是基于球表面点的测量,没有分析可获到的程序。
另外，数字优化的使用是为了求惩罚函数的最小解这里),,(w v u 是确定球中心，),,(i i i z y x 是第i 个球表面点的坐标且r 是球的半径。
在测试过程中，发现只测量四个表面上的点来确定中心点是非常有效的。
