Due to the widespread use of industrial robots in market, its application has extended to welding, painting, and freight handling. And tool coordinate calibration is regularly modified after tool replacement due to collision accident or routine maintenance. After tool replacement, operators often re…
This paper presents a face portrait with cartoon stylization painting and associated algorithms with the visual feedback system to paint like a human cartoonist. The robot cartoonist creates the artwork in two stages-cartoon style transformation and robot artist for colorful painting. In the cartoon…
In this research, we aim to implement the ability to navigate through unknown environments according to some given instructions on mobile robots. We proposed a Recursive Neural Network model, which takes the user instructions and data acquired by laser range finder as input, and outputs control velo…
The objective of this paper is to present a percussive massage based on robotic tapping motion, and it is also the first paper to discuss the massage technique for this kind. The tapping motion is different from the common contact motion, it satisfies with the short-time contact on human muscles, an…
This paper proposes a robotics therapeutic massage evaluation system using electroencephalogram (EEG) signal analysis approach. An anthropomorphic dual arm robot is developed in this work for massage application. Compare to other massage systems, our dual arm robot can provides diversified massage t…
This paper presents a robot capable of painting colorful pictures with a visual control system like human artists. It can use only five basic colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, white and black) to mix a variety of colors. After receiving a picture, the Robot Artist creates the artwork in two stages—the…
The objective of this paper is to present the model-based 3D object recognition and fetching by a 7-DoF robot with online obstacle avoidance for factory automation. The robot can fetch the random type of 3D objects with arbitrary pose using a 3D visual camera. Object recognition pipeline based on di…
In current flexible endoscopy, manipulating the endoscope is a major problem for surgeons. No surgeon can master the procedure without much experience. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to refine our Robotic Flexible Laparoscope System (RFLS) with more useful functions. We design a new kin…
This paper aims to develop a transparent object recognition algorithm which can integrate with visual cues of transparent objects to enhance the retrieval result. Due to the special characteristics of transparent objects, very few vision methods exist to identify them. To achieve our goal, we first…
