Modern mobile robots are more and more often used for implementing various complicated tasks in severe environment. The goal is to free human from the exposure of dangerous and harmful influence which may damage its health. The later years mobile robots more often are used in autonomous mode implementing most of the tasks without direct human interaction. As soon as environment usually is rather complicated it causes the necessity to involve advanced and sophisticated techniques for modelling and visualisation. It can be successfully realised with modern software improving the performance of mobile robots.

Functional redundancy techniques for fault detection and isolation (FDI) in dynamic systems requires close interaction between system instrumentation, modeling and analysis. Effective FDI requires detailed and accurate models to trade and analyze system behavior, including transient phenomena that result from faults. It also requires appropriate instrumentation technology to provide the measurements to capture and analyze system behavior. Models and measurements must be matched carefully to provide sufficient observability and effective analysis. In this paper we demonstrate the development of FDI systems for complex applications by presenting the modeling and instrumentation of an automobile combustion engine cooling system. We have developed a qualitative parameter estimation methodology for FDI. A system model is represented as a graph that captures the dynamic behavior of the system. To demonstrate the applicability a small leak is artificially introduced in the cooling system and accurately detected and isolated.

The reaction of autonomous mobile robot to the dynamic, uncertain, and changeable environment is one of most difficult issue in control of the intelligent autonomous robot movement. Fuzzy control appears as a very useful tool for handling the intelligent reactive navigation. Present work deals with building of fuzzy behaviors based reactive navigation to reach the goal, propose new method to blend and coordinate multiple behaviors in the same time. This method using fuzzy technique and fix priority value reflects the importance of the behavior. Our behaviors system is test by building our simulation and animation programs that reflect online the robot movement using graphical user interface (GUI).
In our previous work, several system elements for space teleoperation were introduced: a Singularity Consistent (SC) teleoperation system, a mixed force and motion commands based space teleoperation system and a 6-DOF...

The TRANSCEND system for fault detection and isolation in continuous systems uses qualitative reasoning methods to analyze transients caused by abrupt faults. Qualitative transient analysis avoids some of the computational difficulties associated with numerical schemes, but they lack discriminating power. This paper presents the formal basis for qualitative transient analysis, and then establishes the limits of the discriminatory power of this methodology. An integrated scheme that starts with qualitative fault isolation to narrow down possible fault hypotheses, and then uses a focused quantitative parameter estimation scheme to identify the true fault is developed. This approach provides a number of advantages over purely quantitative FDI schemes.

Experience of the impact of gradually increasing scientific co-operation during most difficult times suggest that academia can do much more for enhancing a paradigm shift towards rethinking new value patterns and revision of national goals, which as a rule have been formulated a century ago. A system analysis of the causes and of the effects is clearly in favour to rethinking to academia a novel role in improving the bilateral mutual relationships via mutually beneficial, multilateral, scientific co-operation. It is an influential way for creating new spiritual forces of fairness and justice among and within long confronted communities, groups, societies, nations. A South-European case of an ever growing and flourishing academic co-operation involving a multinational group of control scientists and engineers in a dramatic period ofmost difficult time suggests this approach is feasible and useful. It remains only to find efficient means how to influence the decision making centres of powers at national level and in the region into a process ofre-examination and re-thinking the existing outdated national goals and society value patterns

An intelligent remote centre compliance (IRCC), has been built to develop a self-teaching robot that is capable of managing and improving the efficiency of assembly operations. Robots are now commonplace in the modern manufacturing environment, but need to be used to their full capacity in order to be made cost effective. The proposed IRCC is a design tool that analyses operations being performed, using simple industrial electronics, and develops a kinematic model of the process based on this information. This model is used to generate new control routines and reduce the complexity of the required task. The IRCC system is also used to design a 'task optimised compliance', specifically designed to further maximise the efficiency of a particular task. By introducing this self-awareness it is possible to upgrade a simple robot to a state of the art learning machine. This paper details the design of such an IRCC system.

This paper describes an Internet experiment system for control engineering that is comprised of an experiment system and a computer-aided teaching system. The experiment system was set up in a laboratory and connected to the Internet so that students could do experiments on their own personal computers anywhere anytime. The computer-aided teaching system was implemented by building a database on a server to which students had free access, and which they could then use to store and share information on their experiments.

Describes the objectives of a project, which are to design artificial limbs that are lightweight, compact and dexterous, that mimic human anatomy and maintain a high lifting capability. The key to satisfying these objectives is the use of shape memory alloy (SMA) artificial muscles as actuators. A general methodology to find the placement of SMA wires to achieve desired ranges of motion is presented. Two experimental prototypes, emulating human skeletal structures that are actuated by SMA artificial muscles are described in detail.
