A fuzzy evolutionary algorithm (FEA) is presented by systematically integrating fuzzy expert systems with evolutionary algorithms in this paper. Both computer experiments and applications demonstrate that fuzzy evolutionary algorithms can generally search for optimal solutions faster and more effectively than standard genetic algorithms. As a specific application, a FEA is applied to automatic robot trajectory generation without using inverse kinematics. An example is given to show that a trajectory of a 7 degree of freedom robot can be automatically generated using the proposed FEA.

Presents a system that detects unexpected moving obstacles that appear in the path of a navigating robot, and that estimates the relative motion of the object with respect to the robot. The system is designed for a robot navigating in a structured environment with a single wide-angle camera. The system uses polar mapping to simplify the segmentation of the moving object from the background. The polar mapping is performed with the focus of expansion (FOE) as the center, obtained from the vanishing point of the significant lines in the environment. A method for determining a qualitative estimate of the motion of the object, coupled with an efficient clustering algorithm, is used to segment the moving obstacle from the background. The system uses an area based feature matching method to compute the optical flow in the segmented regions of the image sequence, and time-to-impact is computed from the radial component of the optical flow in the image plane. A framework for a real time implementation of this system on a robot is also presented.< >

Hand-eye coordination of a robot system is a classical problem which mathematically can be described as an ill-posed inverse mapping problem. Different techniques have been developed to solve this inverse mapping problem. But most of the reported work has a common limitation that is the relative position between the camera and the robot must be fixed once the calibration is done. However, very often in real-world applications this may not be realistic either due to the random disturbances to the system or due to the need of repositioning the camera or moving the robot base to perform different task. In this case, usually a lengthy re-calibration process has to be carried out. In this paper, we briefly describe our technique which eliminates the need of re-calibration for the vertical position change of the camera. Our technique is based on the integration of the utilization of a close form mathematical formulation and fuzzy logic. An algorithm has been developed, an experiment has been performed on a 6-degree-of-freedom robot, and testing data has confirmed our design.< >

This paper presents the estimation of depth in an indoor, structured environment based on a stereo setup consisting of two fish-eye lenses, with parallel optical axes, mounted on a robot platform. The use of fish-eye lenses provides for a large field of view to estimate better the depth of features very close to the lens. To extract significant information from the fish-eye lens images, we first correct for the distortion before using a special line detector, based on vanishing points, to extract significant features. We use a relaxation procedure to achieve correspondence between features in the left and right images. The process of prediction and recursive verification of the hypotheses is utilized to find a one-to-one correspondence. Experimental results obtained on several stereo images are presented, and an accuracy analysis is performed. Further, the algorithm is tested using a pair of wide-angle lenses, and the accuracy and difference in the spatial information obtained are compared.< >
