More than 40% of pumpkins are planted in Hokkaido, Japan. In recent years, the planting area of pumpkin decreased year by year for the shortage of farmers for harvesting. We are going to develop a robot harvester to help the farmers keep the current planting scale in Japan. However, the complex environment in which pumpkin are grown and various shapes and sizes, which make it is difficult for robot hand to automatically pick pumpkin.1 It’s indispensable that building a mechanical structure adapted to the farm environment and to the characteristics of the fruits and vegetables.2,3,4 The robot hand plays a key role in automatic harvesting for different targets, therefore its design is particularly important.5,6,7

We consider the problem of optimal reactive synthesis - compute a strategy that satisfies a mission specification in a dynamic environment, and optimizes a performance metric. We incorporate task-critical information, that is only available at runtime, into the strategy synthesis in order to improve performance. Existing approaches to utilising such time-varying information require online re-synthesis, which is not computationally feasible in real-time applications. In this paper, we pre-synthesize a set of strategies corresponding to candidate instantiations (pre-specified representative information scenarios). We then propose a novel switching mechanism to dynamically switch between the strategies at runtime while guaranteeing all safety and liveness goals are met. We also characterize bounds on the performance suboptimality. We demonstrate our approach on two examples - robotic motion planning where the likelihood of the position of the robot's goal is updated in real-time, and an air traffic management problem for urban air mobility.

Unmanned Amphibious Aerial Vehicles (UAAV) are gaining significant interest in accessing remote water bodies and an ideal tool for limnologist in water quality assessment. In this article, conceptualization of UAAV by inculcating the principle of hovercraft and multirotor system is carried out in a systematic approach. The unconventional configuration of UAAV makes the conceptual stage as a challenging task in the design process. In order to overcome the challenges and strapped configuration of vehicle design, the authors exploited the design process, Thirteen conceptual models are evolved and the best UAAV design model is selected based on stability, provision for accommodating payload, endurance, air cushioning effect for effective gliding along the water bodies, payload carrying capacity and modularity in construction. In addition, design of payload bay, selection of material, estimation of endurance and center of gravity calculations are carried out for those designs. The finalized conceptual models are constructed and performance of amphibious vehicles is investigated for varying the payload. The conglomerate designs of UAAV are evaluated for the design requirements and the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis is performed to measure its performance characteristics. The experimental prototype of UAAV is custom built to demonstrate the competency of UAAV through flying in air and hovering in water. The test results suggested that, the developed UAAV has tremendous impact on minimizing the efforts of human being in inspecting remote water bodies in proficient way.

The effective training of engineering students require hands-on experience in what they would later work with in the industry. The trend in manufacturing nowadays is towards robotics and automation. Relevant to this technology is the robotic hand. This paper outlines the design and the development of a 5-DoF (Degree of Freedom) robotic arm. The robotic arm is intended for educational purposes. The design proposed the use of servos to power the joints and to implement the inverse kinematics of the robotic arm. A simulation of the robotic arm was achieved by using the Matlab Robotics Toolbox, to visualise the joint movements. A suitable servo controller was selected for the implementation and a control software for the robotic arm was developed using Microsoft's C# programming language. The software allows the robotic arm gripper to be postioned in space, by specifying the coordinates of its centre position. Polymethyl methacrylate was selected to fabricate the components of the robotic arm. The robotic arm was tested by specifying various coordinates for the gripper with reference to the robot's base and measuring the corresponding coordinates of the centre position of the gripper, which gave satisfactory results.

Over the years, enterprises are confronting an increasingly competitive market in price and quality of products with the quickening of the economic globalization contemporarily. Only by producing highquality and low-cost products, can a manufacturing enterprise obtain an advantageous position under this situation. Therefore, production and fabrication, which directly determine the cost and quality of the products, are the key focus areas. A reasonable production schedule not only makes benefits to saving time and reducing unit cost, but also raises the production and energy efficiency. However, even if the products are processed according to an ideal optimal schedule, the machines could malfunction, which brings about quality defects. To lessen the failures occurring, preventive maintenance is introduced during the production processing.

In this paper a novel low cost mobile robot that can adjust the balance between the energy efficiency and the running performance according to the environment by changing the number of wheels is introduced. The developed robot, which can be constructed by combining the modules and is driven by Robot Operating System (ROS) tools, has a 3D light detection and distance measurement (LiDAR) for generation of 3D digital map and travels through several environment with saving the energy by adaptively changing the number and arrangement of the wheels according to the environment. The robot can easily change the three types of mechanisms by changing the number of modularized driving wheels and their combination. Furthermore, the developed robot can construct a 3D map in a rough outdoor environment and the running performance of three kinds of robots was investigated by an extensive characterization. Finally, the limits of this prototype have been meticulously analyzed, highlighting new improvements in the future perspective development for permitting an autonomous environment perception with a simple, modular and low-cost device.

The implementation of the fourth industrial revolution Industry 4.0 is based on the following technologies: internet of tings , cloud computing, big data, robotics & automation, intelligent sensors, 3D printers and radio frequency identification – RFID. The robotics is considered as the core technology. Second-generation industrial robots – collaborative robots have been implemented in the last two years. Their implementation is increasing every year and has reached about 3% of the total application of industrial robots in the world. The development of new technologies has contributed to the development and implementation of collaborative service robots AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle), which is one of the most significant qualitative shifts in the automation of logistic in production processes, assembly lines, warehouses and all other operations where transport is necessary. Their application is motivated by technical and economic reasons, such as: improving the quality of finished products, reducing the production of the finished product, increasing the homogeneity rate constant quality, reducing the number of workers to carry out tedious transport, increasing the safety of workers in the work process, minimizing production costs and overall maintenance. The paper describes the trend of implementing service robots for professional use, with particular reference to collaborative service robots in logistics. Some design solutions for collaborative service robots in logistics already implemented in the industry are presented.

Aiming at the shortcomings of the traditional gap sensor, the measurement accuracy is greatly affected by environmental factors such as temperature, and a levitation gap measurement method based on image processing is designed. The high-speed industrial camera monitors the levitation gap in real time and transmits the image to the PC. The image is processed by the PC to obtain the value of the levitation gap, which can complete the function of the traditional gap sensor. The experimental results show that the method has high precision and fast speed, which can meet the stability control requirements of the levitation ball system.
