The recently increased interests in visual measurement and control applied to underwater robots have challenged the existing visual technologies that once were sufficient in ground-based applications. This paper surveys the major difficulties and representative applications in underwater visual measurement and control, most of which result from the particularity of the aquatic environments. Specifically, the state of the art of the underwater vision is summarized from different perspectives, primarily involving key points and existing problems. In particular, the application of the embedded vision-based system in the context of bionics is accented. Finally, the potential development trends and possible breakthroughs are discussed, shedding light on the effort both in hardware and software to advance real-world underwater vision applications.
The most challenging difficulties for teleoperation systems are well recognized as the Internet uncertain time delays, which might degrade system performance or even lead to system instability. This paper proposes a n...

A highly integrated joint controller using in a humanoid robot arm has been developed in the paper. The joint controller is highly integrated with position sensors - the hall sensors, the magnetic sensor and the photoelectrical sensor, the torque sensors, the temperature sensor and so on. Besides, it can control and drive the motor in PWM and SVPWM modes. What is more, the joint controller has been integrated with five level emergent condition response strategies to ensure safety of the robot arm. To test performance of the joint controller, a testing platform has been established. Though a serious of experiments, the performance of the joint controller including the motor drive function, the sensor information acquisition and the joint track and velocity control can be validated.

In order to investigate the feasibility of integrating functional electrical stimulation (FES) with robot-based rehabilitation training, this paper proposes an FES-assisted training strategy combined with impedance control for our self-made exoskeleton lower limb rehabilitation robot. This control strategy is carried out in a leg press task. Through impedance control, an active compliance of the robot is established, and the patient's voluntary effort to accomplish the task is inspired. During the training process, the patient's related muscles are applied with FES which provides an extra assistance to the patient. The intensity of the FES is properly chosen aiming to induce a desired active torque which is proportional to the voluntary effort of the patient. This kind of enhancement serves as a positive feedback which reminds the patient of the correct attempt to fulfill the desired motion. FES control is conducted by a combination of neural network-based feedforward controller and a PD feedback controller. The feasibility of this control strategy has been verified in Matlab.
This paper generalizes the concept of the depth-independent interaction matrix, developed for point and line features in our early work, to generalized image features. We derive the conditions under which the depth-in...
