This paper presents an application that is designed to control the process of paper manufacturing in order to obtain a constant thickness for the resulting paper. The application teaches a system to control a thickness regulating member used in the manufacture of sheet products. The position of the slice lip is controlled by a number of actuators positioned along the slice lip and connected to it and to the head box. The system is composed of a Siemens S7–300 PLC connected to a Daytronic equipment. Also a TP270 operating panel is connected in order to allow users to view the state of the entire system and also set the position of the actuators.

The work presented in this paper is focused on movement recognition as a first step to achieve the automation of a two-arm-surgical-robotic-system in the laparoscopic surgery environment. In order to accomplish coordination between the surgeon and the robotic assistant, a system able to recognize and differentiate between certain standard maneuvers should be developed. The new user interface is based on this maneuvers recognition system, which models the surgeon behavior. This interface consists of the data acquisition and the recognition system. The maneuvers are modeled with Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and are trained off-line. The system has been tested in some in-vitro experiments as in tissue cutting, suturing and transporting.

This paper describes an experimental approach to the positioning of a MEMS production system with a nano - scale resolution. Presented production system works on the basis of friction based piezo electric motors, which are being very hard for modeling. It is even being hard to describe this motors using classical mathematical functions, or to define them using other well known control procedures. Sophisticated control techniques are often required for successful positioning of such systems. In our work we present a simple control technique based on experimental results and polynomial equations. Presented polynomial control technique fulfils demands for positioning in sub-micrometer scale. Theory and practical results of proposed control technique are given within this paper.

When tracking people or other moving objects with a mobile robot, detection is the first and most critical step. At first most researchers focused on the tracking algorithms, but recently AdaBoost (supervised machine learning technique) was used for people legs detection in 2D range data. The results are promising, but it is unclear if the obtained classifier could be used on the data from another sensor. As it would be a huge inconvenience having to train a classifier for every sensor (setup), we set out to find if, and when is a classifier trained on one sensor setup transferable to another sensor setup. We tested two sensors in five different setups. In total, we acquired 2455 range scans. Experiments showed that the classifier trained on noisier sensor data performed better at classification of data coming from other sensor setups. Classifiers trained on less noisy data were shown to be overconfident, and performed poorly on noisy data. Furthermore, experiments showed that classifiers learned on ten times smaller datasets performed as good as classifiers trained on larger datasets. Since AdaBoost is a supervised learning technique, obtaining same classifier efficiency with significantly smaller dataset means less hand labeling of the data for the same results.

A mechatronic vision system for the automatic acquisition and the monitoring of the static and the moving objects is proposed. The system recognizes the existence and the motion of relatively small objects from the background in order to report motion parameters while automatically tracking the selected object. The system consists of several relatively independent subsystems cooperating together with the aim to achieve the common goal to recognize objects of interest and to track their motion. The simultaneous tracking by the two cameras is used to measure the instant distance of the tracked object. The combination of an automatic recognition subsystem with an automatic object motion prediction and the dual camera orientation control facilitates the ability of the whole system to work autonomously in a real time. The system is designed in a modular way to enable simple adaptation to several static and mobile cameras mechanically oriented in space by the pan and tilt head. The open architecture of the system allows group management integration, day and night image processing, and various problem oriented geometric computation.

In this paper the method used to implement the natural human gait for a humanoid robot is presented. This work is part of the humanoid robot project called Archie. The project Archie started on 2004 in the Institute of Handling Robotics and Technology at Vienna University of Technology. The aim of this project is to build a robot that can imitate human's basic activities such as walking. In this work an image processing based technique has been used to extract the humans' walking trajectory, as a model for the robot. The same image processing method has been used to evaluate the robot's control system performance (traversed trajectory). Finally, the error obtained from the robot's test is shown and briefly discussed.

Microrobots are used nowadays in several fields of application, specially in mini invasive surgery. However, they are rather difficult to be constructed, and the traditional micro machining tools are not adequate yet to built the smaller parts. The construction of the microrobots is even harder if more than one D.O.F. are required for the mechanism, because these systems are more complicated. This paper deals with the development of a 3 D.O.F. planar micro platform with remote system of actuation. The new approach of design and manufacturing is based on two innovative solutions: a) the adoption of the technologies used to built MEMS, Micro Electro Mechanical Systems; b) the introduction of new flexural hinge to develop compliant micro mechanisms. The new concept of flexural hinge is described in the paper, also from a theoretical point of view. Several example of possible structures are proposed and analyzed, together with their remote wire actuation systems. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has been also adopted to analyze the system performance under small deformations. The principle of fabrication is, then, described. The process consists of a sequence of single steps which have allowed to achieved an overall maximum size down to 3–4 mm and the minimum thickness of the smaller components down to 50µm.

This work is concerned with a mechanical system designed to harvest Crocus Sativus (saffron) flowers. The system is conceived as a shoulder portable device with two main parts: the first one is specifically designed to detach the flower containing three stigmas, which are the costly final product; the second one is aimed to collect the detached flower through a vacuum collector. The system is carried by the human operator on his back. This paper describes the operating principle of the detaching and of the harvesting devices. The former device imitates one of the procedures followed by the pickers but with the peculiarity that allows to harvest the flower without separating it from its leaves, which is a significant advantage since it simplifies the mechanical detachment of the flower. The paper also deals with some experimental tests in the laboratory carried out in order to highlight the dynamic behaviour of the detaching and of the harvesting devices.
