Back on Robotics and Servo

This definition implies that the device can be called a "robot" if it contains mechanism furniture, influenced by the detection and action planning and control components. This does not mean that a minimum number of these components must be implemented in the software, or be modified by the consumer "using the device, for example, the behavior of the movement may have been wired the device by the manufacturer.

Therefore, the definition given and the rest of the material in this part of the book covers not only "Pure" robotics or simply "smart robots, but something broader field of robotics and automation. This includes "Dumb" robots such as metal and woodworking machines, "smart" washing machines, dishwashers and pool cleaning robots, etc. All these examples are the detection, planning and control, but often not in the separate components individually. For example, detection and planning behavior pool cleaning robot have been integrated into the mechanical design of the device, developers intelligence human.

The robot is in a very large extent on the integration of systems, the realization of a mission by a mechanical device powered through an intelligent integration of components, many of which are shared with other areas such as systems and control, computer character animation, machine design, computer vision, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, biomechanics, etc. In addition, the limits of robotics can not be clearly defined, and also its "hard core" of ideas, concepts and algorithms are applied in an increasing number of "external" applications, and vice versa, technology base to other areas (vision, biology, cognitive science and biomechanics, for example) become components of increasingly vital in modern robotic systems.

This is part of a WEBook effort to define exactly what is called the base material of the field of robotics, and describe a coherent and reasoned. But This structure is chosen one of many possible "views" you can have in the field of robotics.

Similarly, the top "definition" of robotics is not intended to be definitive or final, and only used as a template for structuring the different Chapters

Components of robotic systems

This figure shows the components that are part of all robotic systems. The purpose of this section is to describe the semantics of the terminology used to classify the Chapters WEBook "Sense," "plan", "models", "control", etc.

The real robot is a mechanical device (mechanism) which moves in the environment and thereby interacts with this environment. This interaction involves exchange of physical energy in one form or another. The mechanism of the robot and the environment can be the "cause" of the interaction physical means of "action" or experience "effect" of the interaction, which can be measured by "screening."

Robotics as an integrated control system of interaction with the physical world.

Detection and physical activity are the ports through the robot controller determines the mechanical interaction of your body with the physical world. As mentioned previously, the driver can at one end includes the program, but in the end everything else can also be implemented in hardware.

Inside the controller component, several sub-activities often identified:

Modeling. The input-output relationships All control components may (but need not) be based on information that is stored in a model. This model can take several forms of analytical formulas, empirical lookup tables, the fuzzy rules, neural networks, etc.

The name "model" often leads to lively discussions between different research "schools" and WEBook not interested in adopting a position in this debate: WEBook the "model" must be heard with minimal semantics: "any information that is used to determine or influence in relations / O components in the controller.

Other items discussed below all models can be inside. A model of "system" can be used to tie together several components, but it is clear that all robots using a model system. The model "Perception" and "Model" containing the information that transform raw data into information physical task load on the controller, and vice versa.

Planning. Is the activity that predicts results of the alternatives and select the "best" one. Almost by definition, planning can be based on a kind of model.

Regulations. This component processes the results of detection equipment and components of planning, to generate a reference point for action. Again This regulation of the activity could or not based on a kind of (system) model.

The term "control" is frequently used in place of "regulation" but it is impossible to identify the areas with a warrant or another. The meaning used in the WEBook is clear from the context.

Balances robotic systems

The above "Description components "of a robotic system is supplemented by a" scale "description, ie, the scales of these systems have a great influence on the specific content of planning, monitoring, modeling and testing of components on a scale particular, and therefore also in relevant sections of the WEBook.

Mechanical scale. The physical volume of the robot determines to a large extent limits of what can be done her. Overall, a robot on a large scale (like a crane or a spacecraft autonomously) has different capabilities and problems macro-control of a robot (eg, an arm industrial robot), robot office (like "sumo" robots popular among fans), or military micro or nano robots.

spatial scale. There are large differences between robots operating in 1D, 2D, 3D or 6D (three positions and three orientations).

Timeline. There are large differences between robots that must react within hours, seconds, milliseconds or microseconds.

density scale power. A robot must be exploited to advance, actuators, but it takes more space and energy, so that the relationship between the two determines the robot capabilities.

scale system complexity. The increasing complexity of robot system with the number of interactions between independent subsystems, and components must be adapted to this complexity.

level of computational complexity. robot controller is inevitably running on hardware Computer in the real world, are therefore limited by the number of estimates available, the available bandwidth and communication memory storage available.

Obviously these settings are never applied independently across the system itself. For example, a system that must react microsecond time scale may not mechanical macro or involve a large number of interactions with the sub-communication systems.

sensitivity basis

Finally, the material, not even a scientific description is never completely objective and independent context, in sense that it is very difficult for taxpayers to WEBook to "forget" their history in writing of their contribution. In this regard, robotics is roughly twofold: (i) mathematics and engineering side, it is quite "standard" in the sense that there is broad consensus on tools and theories of use ("systems theory"), and (ii) the face of AI, which is rather low standard, not a lack of interest and research efforts, but because of the inherent complexity of behavior "intelligent". The language and thought origins of the two systems are very different, hence the WEBook host sections of the same material, but written from different perspectives. This is not a "bug" but a "feature" have different opinions within WEBook it can only lead to a better understanding and mutual respect.

Robotics Research Engineering follows the bottom-up approach: systems and extend existing work and become more flexible. Research in artificial intelligence, robotics is top to bottom: in the event that a set of low-level primitives is available, how they apply in order to increase the "intelligence" of a system. The border between the two approaches are continually changing over and more "intelligence" is cast in algorithmic form, the theoretical system. For example, the response of a robot sensor input was considered an "intelligent behavior" in the seventies and even eighties. Therefore, belonged later, influenza flu has shown that most sensor-based tasks such as monitoring the surface or the visual tracking could be formulated as problems of control solutions algorithmic. Since then, they did not belong to the RN more.

Robotics Technology

Most industrial robots have at least the following five sections:

Sensors, effectors, the actuators, controllers and effectors known weapons.

Many other robots also have artificial intelligence and effectors that help you achieve mobility.

This section describes the basic technologies of a robot. Click on links above or use the menu on the navigation bar on the right.

Robotics Technology – Sensors

More spam Today is almost deaf and blind. The sensors can provide limited information on the robot so it can do its work. Compared to sense and capabilities even the simplest things of life, the robots have a long way to go.

The sensor sends information form signal ack in the cfontroller. sensors also control the robot information about its environment and let him know the exact position of the arm, or the state around the world.

Sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell are the types of information we receive from our world. The robots can be designed and programmed to get specific information that is beyond what our five senses can tell us. For example, a sensor robot can "see" in black detect small amounts of invisible radiation or the movement is too small or fast for the human eye can see.

These sensors are certain things are used for:

Physical properties

Technology

contactor BUMP

Remote ultrasound, radar, infra-red

Photo Light cell level, cameras

Microphone noise

Strain gauges constraint

Encoder rotation

Compass Magnetism

the smell of chemicals

Temperature Thermal Infrared

inclinometers, gyroscope

Gauges

Altimeters Altitude

The sensors can be simple or complex, depending on how much information should be stored. A switch is a simple on / off sensor used to rotate the robot on and outside. A human retina is a complex sensor that uses more than a hundred million light-sensitive elements (rods and cones). Sensors provide information the robot brain, which can be treated in several ways. For example, we just react to the sensor output: if the switch is open if the switch is closed leaves.

Levels of treatment

To see if the switch is open or closed, will measure the voltage through the circuit, which is electronic. Now, let's say you have a microphone and would like to emphasize a distinct voice and noise, which is the signal processing. Now you have a camera, and you want to take the image pre-processed and now needs to understand what these objects are, perhaps, by comparing with a large library of drawings, which is the computer. sensory data processing is a very complex thing to try to do, but the robot needs to be a brain. " The brain must be capable of processing analog and digital cables to connect all devices Electronic support for going with the team, and batteries to power the whole thing to deal with sensory data. Perception requires that the robot has sensors (energy and electronics), computers (more power and electronics, and connectors (for connecting to all).

Sensor Switch

The switches are the simplest of all sensors. They work without pay, electronics (circuit) level. Their general principle underlying is that of a closed vs. open. If a switch open, no current can move, if it is closed, current can flow and be detected. This simple principle can (and is) used in a wide variety of forms.

Change of sensors can be used in a variety of ways:

contact sensors: detect when the sensor is in contact with another object (for example, is activated when the robot hits a wall or take an object, which may even be whiskers)

stroke sensors: detecting whether a mechanism has been moved to the end of its range

encoder sensors: detect how often a tree turns have a switch click (open / close) every time the rotation of the shaft (eg, triggers for each shift, providing rotations)

There are many common switches: buttons, switches, mouse, key board keys, phone keys, and others. Depending on how a switch is connected, can be normally open or normally closed. Of course, this depends on your bot electronics, the mechanics, and their task. The simple but very useful sensor for robot obstacle is a switch that says when he was beaten in anything, so you can save and back. Even for a simple idea, there are many different ways of application.

Light Sensors

Switches as touch and light sensors to measure the amount of light affects the cell, which is essentially a resistive sensor. The resistance of a photocell is low when turned on, that is, when is very lightweight, is high when it is night. In this regard, a light sensor is actually a "dark" of the sensor. In the creation of a photoelectric sensor, the result will end using equations that we have learned before, because you will need to address the relationship of the image cell resistance and the resistance and voltage in a circuit sensor electronics. Of course, this will be the construction of the electronics and write the measurement program and use the output light sensor, you can always be manipulated to make it easier and more intuitive. What surrounds a light sensor affects its properties. The sensor can be protected and the position of several ways. Multiple sensors can be arranged in configurations useful and isolated from each other with shields.

Like switches, light sensors can be used in different ways:

light sensors to measure:

intensity of light (like light / dark S)

differential current (difference between cells Photoelectric)

bad road (change / low intensity)

light sensors can be protected and targeted in different ways

Its position and directionality a robot can make a big difference and impact

Polarized light

"Normal", which from a light source non-polar, which means traveling to all orientations relative to the horizon. However, if there is a polarizing filter to the light, that light waves of a some guidance through the filter. This is useful because now we can manipulate the light remaining in other filters, and if we put another filter with same level of functionality, almost everything you pass through. But if one uses a filter perpendicular (one with an angle function 90 degree relative) will block all light. Polarized light can be used to make specialized photoelectric sensors simple, if you put a filter in front of a light source and the same or a different filter in front of the cell, which can be cleverly manipulated what and how much light detect.

Resistive position sensors

We said earlier that a cell photoelectric device is a resistive. You can also feel the resistance in response to other physical properties such as bending. Resistance the device increases with the amount doubled. These sensors were originally developed to control double Reviews video games (eg Nintendo Powerglove), and in general are very helpful. Repeated bending sensor is past. Not surprisingly, a bend sensor is much less robust that the light sensors, even using the same underlying principle of resistance.

Potentiometers

These devices are very common for manual adjustment, you've probably already seen some controls (like volume and tone of the equipment tone). pots commonly called, allows the user to manually adjust the resistance. The general idea is that the device consists of a valve moving along two fixed ends. As the valve, the resistance changes. As you can imagine, the resistance between the two ends is fixed, but the resistance between the phone and one of the ends varies as the game. In robotics, the pots are commonly used to sense and position adjustment of sliding and rotating mechanisms.

Biological Analogues

All sensors that are described in biological systems

Press / contact sensors with much greater precision and complexity in all species

Bend / receptors in muscle strength

Reflective optical sensors

We mentioned that if one uses a light bulb in combination with a photocell, we can take a break sensor road. This idea is the underlying principle of the reflection optical sensors: The sensor consists of a transmitter and a detector. Depending on the arrangement of the other two, we can obtain two types of sensors:

reflection sensors (transmitter and the detector are side by side, separated by a barrier, the objects are detected when light reflects on them and return to the detector)

break sensors Road (the transmitter and detector in front of other objects are detected beam is interrupted light between the emitter and detector)

The transmitter is usually composed of a light emitting diode (SLE) and is generally a photodiode / phototransistor.

Note that these are not the same technology as resistive photocells. photocells resistive are beautiful and simple, but its strength properties are photodiodes and photo transistors are slow much faster and therefore the preferred type technology.

What can you do with this simple idea of the reflectivity of light? A lot of useful things:

Object presence detection

detection of distant objects

detection of surface phenomena (research / Tags / next tape)

monitor ceiling / wall

encoding the axis of rotation (with wheel encoder crested black and white or color)

barcode decoding

Note, however, that the reflectivity of the light depends on the color (and other properties) of a surface. A light surface reflects light better than dark, and a surface Black does not reflect at all, which seems invisible to a light sensor. Therefore, it can be harder (less reliable) to detect objects and darker than lighter. In If the distance of the object, lighter items below appear closer than dark objects that are not so far. It gives you an idea of how the physical world is partially observable. Although the sensors are useful, we have no complete and accurate information in their entirety.

Another source of noise in light sensors is ambient light. The best thing to do is to remove the light sensor reading room to detect a real change in reflected light and not ambient light. How come? By taking two (or more, to be exact) readings of sensors, one with the issuer, and with it off, and subtracting the two values from each other. Result is the level of ambient light, which can be subtracted from future readings. This process is called sensor calibration. Of course, remember that ambient light may change, so the sensors may need to be calibrated repeatedly.

Detectors breakage of the road

We talked about the idea of breaking road sensors. In general, any pair devices compatible with emitter-detector can be used to produce such sensors:

an incandescent lamp and a cell Photoelectric

Visible red LED and photo-transistor light-sensitive

or infrared emitters and detectors IR

Axis coding

encoders measure the rotation angle of the tree yields a position and / or speed. For example, a speedometer measures the speed of the wheels of a vehicle is turning, while an odometer measures the rotation number wheels.

To detect partial or complete rotation, we must somehow make the decisive factor. This is usually done by setting a round disc on the shaft, and notches in it. A light emitter and detector are placed on each side of the disc, so that the notch passes between them, the light passes, and is where there is no notch on the disk, the light does not pass.

If there is just a notch on the disk, then a rotation is detected as is the case. This is not a very good idea because it allows only low resolution for measuring speed: the smallest unit that can be measured is a complete rotation. In addition, some rotations may be neglected because of noise.

In general, many notches are cut on the disc, and the light hits the detector impact counted. (You can see that it is important to have a speed sensor here, if the shaft rotates very quickly.)

An alternative notches on the hard disk is painted black (to absorb, reflect-) and black (very reflective) spots, and measure the reflectance. In this case, the transmitter and detector are on the same side of the disc.

In all cases, the sensor output will be a wave function light intensity. This may be a method to produce the speed, counting the peaks of the wave.

Note that the measures the axis of coding both the position and speed of rotation, by subtracting the difference in readings of the situation after each time interval. Speed however, tells us how fast it moves a robot, or if it moves at all. There are several ways of using this measure:

measure the speed of a motor (active) wheel

person who uses a wheel that is driven by the robot (measuring progress forward)

We may combine the information of position and speed to make things more sophisticated:

move in a straight line

rotated by an exact amount

Note, however, that doing things as it's very difficult, because the wheels tend to slip (effector noise and error) and drag and there is usually a reaction to the tailings and the gearing mechanism. encoders can provide information to correct errors, but an error is inevitable.

Quadrature shaft encoding

To date, we talked to detect position and speed, but without forgetting the direction of rotation. Assume that the wheel suddenly changes the rotation, it would be useful for the robot to detect it.

An example of a common system that would measure the position, speed and Management is a computer mouse. Without a measure of direction, just a mouse unnecessary. Measuring the rotation?

quadrature shaft encoding is an elaboration of the basic idea of the balance beam, instead of using a single sensor, it takes two. The encoders are aligned so that its two data streams from the detector and fourth cycle (90 degrees) in opposite phase, hence the name "square". When comparing the results of the two coders at each time step the output of previous time-step, we can say if there is a change of direction. When both are included in the sample at each time step, one of them will change their state (ie, switching from ON to OFF) at a time, because they are in opposite phase. What is the address that determines the axis of rotation. Each time a tree is moving in one direction increases counter, and when it becomes the opposite direction, the counter is decremented, we must not lose sight of the overall situation.

Other uses quadrature encoding axis robot arm with complex joints (eg ball /, thinking about his knee or shoulder), the Cartesian robot (and large printers) where an arm Move rack / back and forth along a shaft / gear.

Modulation and demodulation Light

We have said that the lighting is a problem because it interferes with the light emitted by a light sensor. A way around this problem emitted light is modulated, ie the issuer to quickly turn on and off. This signal is much easier and more reliably detected by a receiver that is tuned to the particular frequency modulated light. It is not surprising that a detector must detect several flashes once to detect a signal that is, detecting its frequency. It is a small point, but it is important in writing code receiver.

The idea of modulated IR light is used by example home remote controls.

Modulated light sensors are often more reliable than those based light sensors. They can be used for the same purpose: to detect the presence of an object to measure the distance to a nearby object (requires electronic Smart, see lecture notes)

Infra Red (IR)

Infrared sensors are a type of light sensors, which operate in the infrared spectrum sensors. Infrared sensors are assets consist of: consisting of a transmitter and a receiver. Infrared sensors are used in the same way that visible light sensors is that we have discussed so far: as broken beams and thought that the sensors. IR is better than visible light in robotics (and other) applications because it suffers less interference environment, which can be easily modulated, and simply because it is not visible.

Communication IR

infrared modules can be used as a serial port for transmitting messages. It is a fact is IR how modems work. There are two basic methods

bit frames (of the sample at the center of each bit, assuming that all bits to the same amount of time to transmit)

short intervals (more common in commercial use, sampled on the trailing edge, the time interval between sampling to determine whether a 0 or 1)

Remote sensing Ultrasonic

As mentioned above, ultrasound is based on the principle of flight time. The transmitter produces a sonar "chirp" sound, far from the source, and if no obstacle is reflected in them, and returns to the receiver (microphone). The amount of time takes the beam is tracking back (when you start a timer when the sound signal is produced, and stops when the reflected sound returns), and is used to calculate the distance traveled by the sound. It is possible (and relatively easy), because we know how fast his trip, which is a constant, which varies slightly depending on ambient temperature.

At room temperature, sound travels at 1.12 m per millisecond. Another way of saying that his trip to 0.89 milliseconds per foot. This is useful to recall a constant.

The process of finding a place on the basis of sound is called echolocation. The inspiration for the ultrasound screening comes from nature, bats use ultrasound instead of vision (this makes sense live in dark caves where vision would be largely useless). Bat sonar is extremely sophisticated in comparison with sonar artificial composed in many different frequencies, used to find prey in rapid flight, and avoid hundreds of other bats, and communication to find a partner.

Specular

A major disadvantage of ultrasound is to detect susceptibility to specular reflection (specular reflection refers to the outer surface of the object). Well the detection principle is based on the sonar sound wave reflecting surface and back to the receiver, it is important to remember that not necessarily the sound waves bounce off the surface and "come back". In fact, the direction of reflection depends on the angle of incidence of the ultrasound beam and surface. The greater the angle, not the more likely the sound is limited to "shepherd" to the surface and bounce back, thus returning to the issuer, in turn generate a false / long reading distance. This is called the reflection mirror, the smooth surfaces with properties Specular reflection tended to aggravate this problem. Rough surfaces produce a more irregular, some are more likely to return to the sender. (For example, in our robotics lab on campus, using sonar sensors, and aligned some of the breadboard area, because it has much better sound of the reverb very smooth wall behind him.)

In summary, the readings may Throughout his very imprecise, because they may be false, rather than specific thoughts. This must be taken into account when programming robots, or robot can produce very undesirable and dangerous behavior. For example, a robot approaches a wall at a steep angle can not see the wall at all, and hit him!

However, sonar sensors have been used successfully in the highly sophisticated robotics applications, including mapping ground and cover, and continue to be a popular choice sensor for mobile robots.

The ultrasonic sensor first commercial flight was produced by Polaroid, and is used to automatically measure the distance from the nearest object (probably to be photographed). These simple Polaroid sensors still sonar most popular commercially-(which come with a plate processor that handles the analog electronics). standard properties include:

range of 32 feet

30 degree beamwidth

sensitivity to specular reflection

shortest distance of return

Polaroid sensors can be combined in arrays to create progressively more sophisticated and more accurate sensors.

Ultrasound can be found used in a variety of other applications, the best known is from submarines. The sonar is much more concentrated and have a greater range of beams. applications simpler and more mundane involve automated "tape-measures, height measurements, alarm system, etc.

Machine Vision

Far we talked about the relatively simple sensors. They were simple in terms of information processing that return. We turn now to the vision artificial, ie the cameras as sensors.

Cameras, of course, the biological model eyes. Needless to say, all eyes are organic complex than any camera we know today, but as you can see, the cameras and vision systems that process sensory information, is not easy at all! In fact, the vision is a difficult issue that has historically been a separate branch artificial intelligence.

The general principle of a camera is to light scattered by objects in the environment (Which are called scene), passes through an opening ("Iris", in the simplest case of a hole in the more complex case of a lens), and affecting the so-called image plane. In biological systems, the image plane is the retina attached to the rods and cones of many (elements photosensitive), which in turn bind to the nerves that carry the look "first" and then transmit the information by the brain to "level Higher vision of transformation. As mentioned earlier, a very high percentage of human (and animal) of the brain devoted in image processing, so it's a very complex task.

In the rooms, rather sensitive rods have rhodopsin light and cones, and we used photographic film of silver halide, or silicon circuits of charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras. In all cases, information on the incident light (eg intensity, color) is detected by the photosensitive elements in the image plane.

In the vision, the computer must make sense of information from the plane of the image. If the device is very simple and uses a small hole, then it requires a calculation to calculate the projection of objects in the environment in the image plane (note will be reversed). If it is a lens (as in the eyes of vertebrates and royal chambers), then more light can enter, but the price to be worn, as objects of special range distances from the lens is under discussion. This range of distances is called depth of field camera.

The image plane is generally be divided into equal parts, called pixels, typically arranged in a rectangular grid. In a typical camera is 512 by 512 pixels in the image plane (By comparison, there are 120 x 10 ^ 6 bars and 6 x 10 ^ 6 cones in the eye, ready hexagonal). Call the projection on the image plane of the image.

The brightness of each pixel of the image is proportional the amount of light directed towards the chamber through the revision of the surface of the object that projects of this pixel. (Of course, it depends reflectance properties of the surface of the plate, the position and distribution of light sources in the environment, and the amount of light reflected by other objects in the scene where the surface of the patch.) Therefore, the brightness of a patch based on two types of reflexes, one of them is a mirror (and not the surface, as we have seen before), and the other is diffuse (light that penetrates the object, is absorbed, then re-issued). To correctly model the reflection of light and reconstruct the scene, all these properties are required.

Suppose it is a black and white camera with 512 x 512 pixel image plane. Now, we are an image, which is a collection of pixels, each intensity between white and black. To find an object in the image (if one exists, which of course we do not know a priori), the typical step first ("first window") is to detect edges, ie, find all the edges. How do you recognize? We define the edges as curves in the plane of the image through which there is a significant change in brightness.

A simple approach would be to ask high brightness changes of the differentiation of the image and looking for areas where the magnitude of the derivative is large. This almost works, but Unfortunately there is all sorts of spurious peaks, ie noise. Also, do not inherently able to distinguish variations in intensity due to the shadow of those due to physical objects. But leave that for the moment and think about noise. What noise?

We relaxed, ie, applies a mathematical procedure called convolution, which is and eliminate isolated peaks. Convolution in fact, applies a filter to the image. In fact, finding the edges in an arbitrary image, one must convolve the image with many filters with orientations different. Fortunately, the relatively complex mathematics involved in edge detection is well studied, and for now are not standard and the approaches to edge detection.

Once we have the edge, the next thing to do is try to find objects from all sides. Segmentation is the process of division or organization of the image into parts that correspond to objects continuously. But how do we know that the lines are objects, and what makes an object? There are several signs that can be used to detect objects:

We stored models of line drawings object (from several possible angles, and in many different scales as possible!), Then compare with all possible combinations of edges of the image. Note This is a very computing intensive and very expensive. This general approach, which has been widely studied, is called model-based vision.

We can take advantage of the movement. If you look at a picture two consecutive time steps, and move the camera in the middle, all solid objects continuously (it obeys physical laws) moves as one, namely the properties of light will be retained. The hives us a clue to find objects by subtracting two images together. But note that it depends also how the camera moved on the stage (direction, distance), and that nothing was happening on stage at that time. This general approach, which has also been widely studied, is the vision of the movement.

We can use stereo (ie stereo binocular both eyes / cameras / views). As with the vision of the movement, but without having to travel in reality, we have two images, we can subtract one another if we know what are the differences between them must be, that is, if we know how the two cameras are arranged / positioned against each other.

We can use the texture. The patches are compatible with uniform texture and brightness are almost identical, so presumably from the object itself. When removing it can get a hint on which the parties may belong to a single object in the scene.

We can also use shading and contours in the same way. And there are many other methods, with the participation and projective as a invariant object, etc.

Note that all the above strategies are used in biological vision. It is difficult to recognize objects or totally unexpected news (because there are models available at all or not in the list.) The movement helps to attract our attention. Stereo, ie, both eyes, is essential, and all carnivores use (they have two eyes pointing in the same direction, unlike the herbivores). The brain does an excellent job to quickly extract the information we need from the scene.

Machine vision has the same task of making the vision real time. But this is, as we have seen, a very difficult task. A Often, an alternative to trying to do all the steps above to make the recognition objects, it is possible to simplify the vision problem in several ways:

Use color, find specific articles and unique colors, and recognize that this (such as stop signs, for example)

Use a small plane image, rather that of a total of 512 pixel x 512 array, we can reduce our view at least, for example, one line (called Linear CCD). Of course, there is much less image, but if we are smart and know what to expect, we can treat what we see fast and useful.

Use other sensors, easier and faster, and incorporate the vision. For example, infrared cameras isolate people by body temperature. Pliers touch and move objects, then we can be sure they exist.

Use the information on the environment, and if you know you are driving on the road, which has white lines, particularly research of these lines in the right places in the image. If is first and always the fastest route and road is robotic.

These and many other technical employees must be smart when one considers how important it is to "see" in real time. Consider the road driver, as a large and growing application of robotics and AI. Everything goes so fast that the system must perceive and act in time to react and safety protection and intelligent.

Now that you know how It is a complex vision, you can see why it has not been used in the first robots, and not yet used all the robots applications, and probably simple. A robot can be very useful without the vision, but some of the tasks required. As always, it is essential to develop a combination appropriate between the sensors of the robot and the task.

The Bug Book is filled with personal anecdotes, detailed history and little known facts about the German car that zoomed into America’s heart. For new Bug owners, there’s a chapter devoted to the News Beetle and how it grew.
