"Growing Functional Modules" constitutes a prospective paradigm founded on the epigenetic approach whose proposal consists in designing a distributed architecture, based on interconnected modules, that allows the automatic generation of an autonomous and adaptive controller (artificial brain). the present paper introduces a new module designed to trigger causal inference;its functionality is discussed and its behavior is illustrated applying the module to solve the problem of a dynamic maze.

In this article the modal analysis of a manipulator is presented and discussed from a theoretical and experimental perspective. the work focuses on boththe simulation and the experimental stages of the modal analysis on six DOF parallel kinematics machine. In particular, the behavioural vibrational trend of the kinematics structure under analysis is presented within the entire workspace. Critical aspects of each test phase are highlighted as well as data post processing methods used. Finally, a map capable of summarizing the modal analysis results is shown.

robotics is an interesting but difficult area for digital artists who generally don't have much academic background on electronics or computer programming. Digital art students normally use high-level application to program their visual and sonorous installations. this paper presents LegOSC - a tool that allows the control of the Mindstorms NXT robots from any application that uses the Open Sound control protocol which is implemented by most of those high-level applications. this allows artists to create works which incorporate robotic parts using the familiar programming environment.

this paper deals withthe problem of automatic detection of offsets in GPS time series, which is of interest both in active volcanic and tectonic areas, where they often signal either the opening of eruptive fissures or seismic and aseismic dislocations. the problem is tackled by using the Change Point Detection (CPD) approach. Results show that CPD algorithms are suitable both in off-line and on-line frameworks. In particular, we show that CPD algorithms could contribute to the implementation of a warning system of volcanic intrusive activity.

this paper presents the control of an aerial manipulation system with a quadrotor and a 2-DOF robotic arm by using the computed torque control method. the kinematic and dynamic model of the system is obtained by modeling the quadrotor and the robotic arm as a unified system. then, the equation of motion of the unified system is got in the form of a standard robot dynamics equation. For the trajectory control of the system, computed torque control is used. Gains of the controller are optimized by using nonlinear least squares method. the performance and stability of the control structure are tested with a simulation case study.

A key capability of any indoor service robot is to explore arbitrary, unknown environments in order to record a complete and correct map in minimal time. Such a map is a prerequisite of common tasks like surveillance, transportation as well as search and rescue. In recent years a series of solutions has been proposed by the authors: a dynamic enhancement of the frontier-based approach, ground plan-based exploration and a hybrid combination of both. this paper evaluates the performance of each of these strategies within an everyday office scenario in simulation and reality and discusses their pros and cons.

Anisotropic regularization PDE's (Partial Differential Equation) raised a strong interest in the field of image processing. the benefit of PDE-based regularization methods lies in the ability to smooth data in a nonlinear way, allowing the preservation of important image features (contours, corners or other discontinuities). In this article, a selective diffusion approach based on the framework of Extreme Physical Information theory is presented. It is shown that this particular framework leads to a particular regularization PDE which makes it possible integration of prior knowledge within diffusion scheme. As a proof a feasibility, results of oriented pattern extractions are presented on ad hoc images. this approach may find applicability in vision in robotics.

this research is devoted to solving the problem of adaptive control algorithm synthesis for a mobile robots that is part of a multi-agent system. Proposed approach consists of trajectory planner and inner agent controller. the case of the passway intersection by the group of mobile robots is considered. Trajectory planner is based on intersection management approach. Adaptive consecutive compensator used for agent controller synthesis. Proposed approach provides control scheme which doesn't depend on plant parameters. A group of mobile robots is built for experimental evaluation of proposed approach. Obtained results confirm effectiveness of the developed algorithms.

Networked robotics is an area that straddles robotics and network technology. A robot system controlled via the WWW exploits the Internet network and hence is one realisation of networked robotics. A set of field robots that exploit wireless networks to share and distribute tasks might also be considered an exemplar of networked robotics. But isn't this just an exemplar of distributed robotics? And if so, what does networked robotics bring to the 'robotics' table? these are questions and issues addressed in this paper. the paper will propose that networks are at once both enabling and constraining to robotics. they enlarge the scope of the robotics discipline yet introduce challenges that must be overcome if that potential is to be fully realized. In short, when the network becomes a design issue - normally when performance of the system is at a premium - networked robotics is at play.
