Purpose To improve production efficiency, industrial robots are expected to replace humans to complete the traditional manual operation on grasping, sorting and assembling workpieces. These implementations are closely related to the accuracy of workpiece location. However, workpiece location...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to propose a method based on an Artificial Neural Network and a real-time vision algorithm, to learn welding skills in industrial robotics. Design/methodology/approach – By using an optic camera to measure the bead geometry (width and height), the...

Purpose Laser-based measurement techniques offer various advantages over conventional measurement techniques, such as no-destructive, no-contact, fast and long measuring distance. In cooperative laser ranging systems, it’s crucial to extract center coordinates of retroreflectors to accomplish...

Rapeseed pests will result in a rapeseed production reduction. The accurate identification of rapeseed pests is the foundation for the optimal opportunity for treatment and the use of pesticide pertinently. Manual recognition is labour-intensive and strong subjective. This paper propsed a image...

The rise in technology has had a tremendous impact in the field of healthcare. Moreover, the Internet of Things and ubiquitous computing when applied to the field of healthcare can ease the process by helping doctors better monitor their patients thereby enabling a speedy recovery. This paper...

The aim of this project is to analyze high-frequency GPS location data (second per second) of individual car drivers (and trips). We extract feature information about speeds, acceleration, deceleration, and changes of direction from this high-frequency GPS location data. Time series of this...
