Advances in Intelligent Robotics and Collaborative Automation
This book provides an overview of a series of advanced research lines in robotics as well as of design and development methodologies for intelligent robots and their intelligent components. It represents a selection of extended versions of the best papers presented at the Seventh IEEE International Workshop on Intelligent Data Acquisition and Advanced Computing Systems: Technology and Applications IDAACS 2013 that were related to these topics. Its contents integrate state of the art computational intelligence based techniques for automatic robot control to novel distributed sensing and data integration methodologies that can be applied to intelligent robotics and automation systems. The objective of the text was to provide an overview of some of the problems in the field of robotic systems and intelligent automation and the approaches and techniques that relevant research groups within this area are employing to try to solve them.The contributions of the different authors have been grouped into four main sections:• Robots• Control and Intelligence• Sensing• Collaborative automationThe chapters have been structured to provide an easy to follow introduction to the topics that are addressed, including the most relevant references, so that anyone interested in this field can get started in the area

Glove for Augmented and Virtual Reality: Glove for Augmented and Virtual Reality
This work is focused on developing and prototyping a haptic feedback system glove, which will be able to enable interaction of real arm movements with 3D computer models. This glove will be developed using only IMU for human hand data gathering. This approach should increase accuracy of device and give additional flexibility in interaction with different object. For this purpose, IMU should be tested and calibrated using complementary filters. The design and implementation of hardware and software as well as proof-of-concept experiments are presented
3D Path planning using a fuzzy logic navigational map for Planetary Surface Rovers
This work proposes an innovative app
navigation path-planning problem
exploration rovers by including terrain characteristics.
The objective is to enhance the typical 2D arithmetical
cost function by adding 3D information computed from
the laser-scanned terrain such as terrain height, slopes,
shadows, orientation and terrain roughness.
This paper describes the algorithm developed by UPM
and GMV and the tests made at the GMV outdoor test
facilities using the Moon-Hound rover. This rover is a
50 Kg rover including a Sick laser mounted on a
pan&tilt unit for generation of 3D Digital Elevation
Models (DEM’s). Experimental results have shown the
effectiveness of the proposed approach
