Taking into account the temporal coherence between consecutive frames, the PCC （Pearson＇s Correlation Coefficient） was proposed and applied as： discarding criteria methodology, dynamic power management solution, environment observer method which selects automatically only the regions-of-interest; and taking place in the obstacle avoidance context, as a method for collision risk estimation for vehicles in dynamic and unknown environments. Even if the PCC is a great tool to help the autonomous or semi-autonomous navigation, distortions in the imaging system, pixel noise, slight variations in the object＇s position relative to the camera, and other factors produce a false PCC threshold. Whereas there are homogeneous regions in the image, in order to obtain a more realistic Pearson＇s correlation, we propose to use some prior known environment information.展开更多

Based on force control, a robotic subsystem has been developed for path automatic generation or path learning. Using a dummy tool and roughly taught guiding points around a part contour, the robot moves in position and force controlled hybrid mode, following the order of the guiding points and with contact force direction and value predefined. During the motion, robot actual position is recorded by the robot controller. After the motion, the recorded position data is used to generate a robot path program automatically. Robot lead-through may be used in the guiding point teaching. Furthermore, a GUI （graphical user interface） is developed on the teach pedant to guide through the guiding point creation and teaching, path learning, program verification and execution. The development has been incorporated into a robotic machining product option. Combination of the robot path learning function and GUI enhances the interaction between the robot and operator and drastically increases the level of robotic ease-of-use.展开更多
