Robots are becoming part of people's everyday social lives and will increasingly become so. In future years, robots may become caretaker assistants for the elderly, or academic tutors for our children, or medical assistants, day care assistants, or psychological counselors. Robots may become our co-workers in factories and offices, or maids in our homes. The IAES International Journal of Robotics and Automation (IJRA) is providing a platform to researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners throughout the world to publish the latest achievement, future challenges and exciting applications of intelligent and autonomous robots. IJRA is aiming to push the frontier of robotics into a new dimension, in which motion and intelligence play equally important roles.

In this paper, a nonlinear model associated to the fast switching on-off solenoid valve and pneumatic cylinder was dynamically presented. Furthermore, an investigation into the electrical, magnetic, mechanical and fluid subsystems are made. Twocommon control policies to track valve position, a Proportional Integrator (PI) based on Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and hysteresis controllers, are investigated. To control cylinder position, a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) on a simulated unit and an experimental setup regulated with AVR microcontroller are carried out. Experimental results show effective validation to the simulation results from PLC. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijra.v1i3.565

Robots are commonly used in industries due to their versatility and efficiency. Most of them operating in that stage of the manufacturing process where the maximum of robot arm movement is utilized. Therefore, the robots arm movement optimization by using several techniques is a main focus for many researchers as well as manufacturer. The robot arm optimization is This paper proposes an approach to optimal control for movement and trajectory planning of a various degree of freedom in robot using soft computing techniques. Also evaluated and show comparative analysis of various degree of freedom in robotic arm to compensate the uncertainties like movement, friction and settling time in robotic arm movement. Before optimization, requires to understand the robot's arm movement i.e. its kinematics behavior. With the help of genetic algorithms and the model joints, the robotic arm movement is optimized. The results of robotic arm movement is optimal at all possible input values, reaches the target position within the simulation time.

Graph transformation is one of the key concepts in graph grammar. In order to accelerate the graph transformation, the concept of parallel graph transformation has been proposed by different tools such as AGG tool. The theory of parallel graph transformation used by AGG just allows clarifying the concepts of conflict and dependency between the transformation rules. This work proposes an approach of parallel graph transformations which enables dependent transformation rules to be executed in parallel.

In this paper implementation of Model PredictiveController on mobile robot was explained. The conductedexperiments show effectiveness of the proposed method oncontrol of the mobile robot. Furthermore the effects of the modelparameters such as control horizon, prediction horizon,weighting factor and signal filter band on the controllerperformance were studied. Finally, a comparison between thedesigned MPC controller and PID and adaptive controllers waspresented demonstrating superior performance of the ModelPredictive Controllers.

This paper presents a method to design controllers that force a quadrotor vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft to globally asymptotically track a reference trajectory in three-dimensional space. Motivated by the vehicle's steering practice, the roll and pitch angles are considered as immediate controls plus the total thrust force provided by the aircraft's four rotors to control the position and yaw angle of the aircraft. The control design is based on the newly introduced one-step ahead backstepping, the standard backstepping and Lyapunov's direct methods. A combination of Euler angles and unit-quaternion for the attitude representation of the aircraft is used to obtain global tracking control results. The paper also includes a design of observers that exponentially estimate the aircraft's linear velocity vector and disturbances. Simulations illustrate the results.

Swam Intelligence provides a basis with which it is possible to explore collective (or distributed) problem solving without centralized control or the provision of a global model. This paper presents design and implementation of swam robotics in a multi-agent environment. At the beginning, robot agents are ignorant of the maze. The robots are programmed with Flood fill algorithm to solve maze. The robot scans maze and stores the values in EEPROM. The robot agent shares the information to other robot agents through wireless communication. The proposed flood fill algorithm is found to be effective tool for solving maze of moderate size.

This paper introduces a new developed H-bridge based cascaded multilevel inverter with reduced components. This topology has a low complexity thereby reducing the overall cost of an inverter. The proposed circuit is connected with a PI controller and switches are controlled by pulse width modulation technique to control the speed of an induction motor. The simulation was carried out using Matlab / Simulink. The simulation of the same was made and performance of various PWM techniques such as Phase disposition (PD), Phase opposite disposition (POD) and phase shifted (PS) and there results were compared on different quantitative measures such as Voltage, current stator Total harmonic Distortion, Voltage stress and rise time. It was observed that that the proposed power circuit with Phase disposition pulse width modulation (PDPWM) that offers reduced total harmonic Detection in terms of voltage, current and phase was found to be very less when compared to other Pulse width modulation techniques. The simulation results will have a fast and quick rise time thereby making this inverter a choice for speed control of induction motor.

In wireless communications of fourth generation the expectation to assimilate a hypothetically numerous heterogeneous wireless technologies are happened under consideration of a novel step toward worldwide smooth access. The advancement in wireless networks increases the challenges of mobility management as well the challenges of merging a various number of wireless networks. Out of those the main challenge for smooth movement is the accessibility of consistent vertical (intersystem) and horizontal (intra-system) handoff processes. So to improve the quality of service and to provide always best connected services all the time, the handoff decision algorithm must select an optimum target network from the available candidate networks. The purpose of this paper is to provide a mechanism for selecting an optimum target network from the available networks. This method is devised for maximizing the user satisfaction level, by selecting the “best” network as the handover target network among multiple candidate networks.
