Robotic soccer is nowadays a popular research domain in the area of multi-robot systems. In the context of RoboCup, the Middle Size League is one of the most challenging. This paper presents an efficient omnidirectional vision system for real-time object detection, developed for the robotic soccer team of the University of Aveiro, CAMBADA. The vision system is used to find the ball and white lines, which are used for self-localization, as well as to find the presence of obstacles. Algorithms for detecting these objects and also for calibrating most of the parameters of the vision system are presented in this paper. We also propose an efficient approach for detecting arbitrary FIFA balls, which is an important topic of research in the Middle Size League. The experimental results that we present show the effectiveness of our algorithms, both in terms of accuracy and processing time, as well as the results that the team has been achieving: 1st place in RoboCup 2008, 3rd place in 2009 and 1st place in the mandatory technical challenge in RoboCup 2009, where the robots have to play with an arbitrary standard FIFA ball. 相似文献

Accuracy is an important performance indicator that affects the research and industrial application of cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs). The error sources of CDPRs include geometric parameters (GPs) and non-geometric parameters (NGPs). Typically, GPs can be calibrated by external measurement devices whose position is dependent on coordinate system parameters. To improve the calibration accuracy and robustness, an iterative calibration method is proposed to calibrate the coordinate system parameters and GPs, and the asymptotic convergence is proven. Moreover, considering the tight coupling and non-linearity of NGPs, we design an artificial neural network to compensate for the residual position errors caused by NGPs. Based on the hierarchical genetic algorithm, a synchronization optimization algorithm is developed to improve the approximate accuracy and generalization to residual position errors of unknown trajectories. With theoretical initial parameters, experiments for the calibration of GPs and error compensation of NGPs were performed on a 3-DOFs CDPR. Finally, the average position error of the end-effector is reduced to 1.3 mm and the maximum error is 1.9 mm. 相似文献

A fast and accurate novel design method is proposed for the design of broad omnidirectional bandgaps of one dimensional (1-D) photonic crystals (PCs). Presented method is verified with various numerical examples for 1-D photonic crystals which consist of a cascade of two quasi-periodic stacks and broad omnidirectional bandgaps are achieved. Furthermore, computation time requirement of the presented method is considerably less than that required for purely numerical approaches. The proposed algorithm is quite flexible and can easily be modified to address problems involving 1-D PCs consisting of three and more cascaded stacks and specific 2D PC structures. 相似文献

Neuromorphic event-based dynamic vision sensors (DVS) have much faster sampling rates and a higher dynamic range than frame-based imagers. However, they are sensitive to background activity (BA) events that are unwanted. We propose HashHeat, a hashing-based spatiotemporal BA filter for DVS. It is the first spatiotemporal filter that doesn't scale with the DVS output size and doesn't store the 32-bits timestamps. We not only give the visual denoising effect of the filter but also use two metrics for quantitatively analyzing the filter's global performance and local performance respectively, where we introduce a novel metric for evaluating global performance. The experimental results show that HashHeat achieves similar global performance as baseline filters, but increases the signal to noise ratio by about 1.5x to nearly 5x compared with other baseline filters concerning the local performance. The hardware implementation enables HashHeat to output a labeled event every 10ns and meets the real-time requirement. And it can reduce the storage cost by 128x to 256x compared with baseline filters. 相似文献

This paper presents the hardware design and control design of a novel ball handling mechanism in the RoboCup Middle Size League used by team Tech United Eindhoven. The ball handling mechanism consist of two levers with two actively driven wheels attached to it, to exert forces on the ball in order to control its position relative to the robot. The proposed design is fully compliant to the rules and regulations imposed by the RoboCup Middle Size League community. The control design consists of a cascaded velocity and position feedback loop in combination with a feedforward controller which compensates for the robots ego motion. The proposed design is validated on a robot used by the Tech United Eindhoven team. 相似文献

Delta Robots belong to a class of parallel robots widely used in industrial production processes, mostly for pick-and-place operations. The most relevant characteristics are the high speed and the extremely favorable ratio between the maximum payload and the weight of the robot itself. A reliable dynamic model is needed to implement torque controllers that reduce unnecessary high accelerations and so mechanical vibrations. The state-of-art inverse dynamic models exploit simplifications in order to facilitate the derivation of the equations of motion and their implementation. In this work, a novel and more rigorous inverse dynamic model is presented which does not rely on simplifications of the kinematic structure. The model has been validated comparing its estimations with real torques data collected moving a Delta Robot D3-1200 by SIPRO Srl; the computational complexity of the algorithm has also been investigated. 相似文献

光栅式双目立体视觉传感器的立体匹配方法 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:3
光栅式双目立体视觉传感器的难点之一在于立体匹配问题,为此,提出了一种基于极线约束和空间点最小距离搜索的立体匹配方法.该方法将光栅式双目立体视觉传感器看作两个光栅结构光传感器,分别标定后可测定光条中心点关于某个结构光模型的三维坐标,若两点匹配,则其三维坐标间的距离理论上为零.引入极线约束,在左摄像机成像光条上找一个特征点,在右摄像机所成像中便可计算出一条极线与之对应,在极线与各光条中心的交点中寻找匹配点.该方法在三维空间进行匹配,计算量小,能够实现点与点的唯一匹配.仿真实验表明了该方法的有效性. 相似文献

In this paper we propose an on-pixel Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC) based on pulse frequency modulation (PFM) scheme. This PFM based converter presents a viable solution for pixel-level based ADC. It uses a simple and robust circuit that can be implemented in a compact area resulting in a 23% fill-factor for a digital vision sensor in 0.25 μm CMOS technology. An in-built light adaptation mechanism has also been implemented which allows the sensor to better adapt to low-light intensity or to adjust the sensor saturation level. As a consequence, the proposed sensor features a programmable dynamic range. Image lag is eliminated since a reset of the photodetector is performed after the conversion period. A prototype comprising a 32×32 pixel array has been implemented in CMOS 0.25 μm technology. Each pixel occupies an area of 45×45 μm2 with an average power consumption of 85 μW per pixel. 相似文献

A novel airflow sensor for miniature mobile robots 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A novel airflow sensor has been developed for applications involving miniature chemical sensing robots. Information about air movement is essential for robots when they are searching for the sources of chemical plumes. The airflow sensor described here measures both wind direction and velocity at airflow rates commonly encountered in an indoor environment. Measurements are made by rotating a small paddle in the airflow. The varying speed of the paddle is analysed to determine both wind speed and direction. Low power consumption and rugged construction make the sensor well suited to robotic applications. The prototype sensor is small enough to fit on a mobile robot measuring only 10 cm in diameter. This paper presents the sensor operating principle, construction and some experimental results. 相似文献

This paper presents a novel compact memory in the processing element (PE) for single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) vision chips. The PE memory is constructed with 8×8 register cells, where one latch in the slave stage is shared by eight latches in the master stage. The memory supports simultaneous read and write on the same address in one clock cycle. Its compact area of 14.33 μm^2/bit promises a higher integration level of the processor. A prototype chip with a 64×64 PE array is fabricated in a UMC 0.18 μm CMOS technology. Five types of the PE memory cell structure are designed and compared. The testing results demonstrate that the proposed PE memory architecture well satisfies the requirement of the vision chip in high-speed real-time vision applications, such as 1000 fps edge extraction. 相似文献

A machine vision system for automatic inspection of keyboards is described. The system verifies that each location on a keyboard contains the correct, properly oriented key and that the graphics are not badly distorted. The graphics are inspected on the top and front surface of keys that vary widely in color, contour, surface texture and graphic content. Economical solutions are presented to a number of problems related to the design of the system's mechanics, optics, illumination, data reduction, pattern location and graphics discrimination. Operating procedures for training and running the system are also presented along with preliminary results. 相似文献

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are appealing in obtaining fine-granular observations about the physical world. Due to the
fact that WSNs are composed of a large number of low-cost and energy-constrained sensor nodes, along with the notorious time-varying
and error-prone nature of wireless links, scalable, robust and energy-efficient data dissemination techniques are needed for
the emerging WSN applications such as environment monitoring and surveillance. In this paper, we examine this emerging field
from the point of view of supply chain management and propose a hybrid data dissemination framework for WSNs. In particular,
for each sensing task, the whole sensor field is conceptually partitioned into several functional regions based on the supply
chain management methodology. Different routing schemes are applied to different regions in order to provide better performance
in terms of reliability and energy consumption. For this purpose, we also propose a novel zone flooding scheme, essentially
a combination of conventional geometric routing and flooding techniques. Our hybrid data dissemination framework features
low overhead, high reliability, good scalability and flexibility, and preferable energy efficiency. Detailed simulation studies
are carried out to validate the effectiveness and efficiency of our scheme. 相似文献
