The computerized modeling of cognitive visual information has been a research field of great interest in the past several decades. The research field is interesting not only from a biological perspective, but also from an engineering point of view when systems are developed that aim to achieve similar goals as biological cognitive systems. This paper briefly describes a general framework for the extraction and systematic storage of low-level visual features, and demonstrates its applicability in image categorization using a linear categorization algorithm originally developed for the characterization of text documents. The performance of the algorithm together with the newly developed feature array was evaluated using the Caltech 101 database. Extremely high (95% and higher) success rates were achieved when distinguishing between pairs of categories using independent test images. Efforts were made to scale up the number of categories using a hierarchical, branch-and-bound decision tree, with limited success.

In cognitive informatics, attention is drawn to create, model, analyze and interact with three-dimensional representation of the objects from the environment. Having a precise 3D scanner solution for an affordable price is an important step to achieve this goal. Our research group focuses on creating such a solution consisting of a scanner device and a software component. As part of the research, a cost effective active triangulation laser scanner hardware is built. Currently we focus on developing a high-precision line tracking method based on software solution instead of using expensive hardware components. More precisely, at the moment, a noise model is set to describe the noise of the imaging system, and it is to be integrated into the triangulation core engine. As the part of this research, a new and accurate algorithm is defined to find the initial point of line tracking. The paper presents an overview of the scanner environment and a detailed discussion is given on the new algorithm. Besides the details of the algorithm, measurements are also presented and a comparison is drawn between our approach and existing algorithms.

Translation of machine code to intermediate representation is an essential part of a platform-independent obfuscator that deals with intermediate code. The paper discusses a method of assembly code analysis and its translation to three-address code. The focus is set on basic block splitting, alias analysis, value-sets analysis, and interprocedural analysis. The presented techniques are universal, and can be used apart from an obfuscator tool.

The paper describes a solution and implementing framework for the management of changes which may occur in a holonic manufacturing system. This solution is part of the semi-heterarchical control architecture developed for agile job shop assembly with intelligent robots-vision workstations. Two categories of changes in the manufacturing system are considered: (i) changes occurring in resource status at process level: resource breakdown, failure of (vision-based) in-line inspection operation, and depletion of local robot storages; (ii) changes in production orders at business (ERP) level: rush orders. All these situations trigger production plan update and rescheduling (redefine the list of Order Holons) by pipelining CNP-type resource bidding at shop-floor horizon with global product scheduling at aggregate batch horizon. Failure- and recovery management are developed as generic scenarios embedding the CNP mechanism into production self-rescheduling. Implementing solutions and experimental results are reported for a 6-station robot-vision assembly cell with twin-track closed-loop pallet transportation system and product tracking RD/WR devices. Future developments will consider manufacturing integration at enterprise level.

Abstract Long distance teleoperation formulates a current control problem task yet to be solved, primarily due to the difficulty to compensate for signal latency. Predictive and model-based control can only give satisfying results if proper description of the system's behavior is provided. The interdisciplinary field of telesurgery has become a focal point of technology-extended medicine, where master–slave type control over large distances poses significant challenges. Innovative solutions are required to deal with the modeling human teleoperation and varying communication quality parameters. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility a more straight-forward, classical control solution based on Kessler's Extended Symmetrical Method, formulated in a cascade control approach to tackle the problems caused by latency and uncertainties in a modeled telesurgical robot system.

In today's complex enterprise environments, providing continuous service for applications is a key component of a successful robotized implementing of manufacturing. High availability (HA) is one of the components contributing to continuous service provision for applications, by masking or eliminating both planned and unplanned systems and application downtime. This is achieved through the elimination of hardware and software single points of failure (SPOF). A high availability solution will ensure that the failure of any component of the solution - either hardware, software or system management, will not cause the application and its data to become permanently unavailable. High availability solutions should eliminate single points of failure through appropriate design, planning, hardware selection, software configuring, application control, carefully environment control and change management discipline. In short, one can define high availability as the process of ensuring an application is available for use by duplicating and/or sharing hardware resources managed by a specialized software component. A high availability solution in robotized manufacturing provides automated failure detection, diagnosis, application recovery, and node (robot controller) reintegration. The paper discusses the implementing of a high availability solution in a robotized manufacturing line.
