...-SLAM-based method testing. The experimental results show the validity and effectiveness of the AGV robot and AGV navigation system framework with better local map matching, loopback and absolute positional error. Originality/value The proposed mini-terminal AGV robot and AGV navigation system...

... and self-positioning, and its root mean square error is more than double compared with other methods. The method proposed in this paper can better complete the autonomous positioning of the robot in the underground space with hierarchical feature degradation, and at the same time, an accurate 3D map can...

... determines its position and orientation relative to the edge of solar panel by using optoelectronic sensors. Based on the following distance, the robot changes its state between moving and waiting to ensure that supply cable will not drag. Findings Prototype following robot test results show...

... positioning performance along three linear and orthogonal paths. The laser tracker is used to assess the contouring performance at different tool center point (TCP) speeds along a triangular tool path, whereas the telescoping ballbar is used to assess the dynamic positioning performance for circular paths...

...Mohammed Abdullah Al Rashed; Tariq Pervez Sattar Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a wireless positioning system. The automation of non-destructive testing (NDT) of large and complex geometry structures such as aircraft wings and fuselage is prohibitively expensive, though...

...Haibin Wu; Yixian Su; Jinjin Shi; Jinwen Li; Jinhua Ye Purpose – The aim of the research is to achieve a robot skin which is easy to use, and can detect both position and force interacted between robot and environments. Design/methodology/approach – The new type of robot skin proposed...

...Yong Liu; Dingbing Shi; Steven Baard Skaar Purpose – Vision-based positioning without camera calibration, using uncalibrated industrial robots, is a challenging research problem. To address the issue, an uncalibrated industrial robot real-time positioning system has been developed in this paper...
