This article surveys traditional research topics in industrial robotics and mobile then expands on new trends that focus more the interaction between human robot. The have been denominated service because of their general goal getting robots closer to social needs, this such as medical robotics, rehabilitation underwater field construction humanoid robotics. aim is provide an overview evolution from classical motion control for modern intelligent techniques learning paradigms, among other aspects.
Feeding the growing global population requires an annual increase in food production. This requirement suggests use of pesticides, which represents unsustainable chemical load for environment. To reduce pesticide input and preserve environment while maintaining necessary level production, efficiency relevant processes must be drastically improved. Within this context, research strived to design, develop, test assess a new generation automatic robotic systems effective weed pest control aimed...

Computer-based sensors and actuators such as global positioning systems, machine vision, laser-based have progressively been incorporated into mobile robots with the aim of configuring autonomous systems capable shifting operator activities in agricultural tasks. However, incorporation many electronic a robot impairs its reliability increases cost. Hardware minimization, well software minimization ease integration, is essential to obtain feasible robotic systems. A step forward application...
Estimations of world population growth urgently require improving the efficiency agricultural processes, as well safety for people and environmental sustainability, which can be opposing characteristics. Industry is pursuing these objectives by developing concept “intelligent factory” (also referred to “smart factory”) and, studying similarities between industry agriculture, we exploit achievements attained in agriculture. This article focuses on those regarding robotics advance agriculture...
Interest in agricultural automation has increased considerably recent decades due to benefits such as improving productivity or reducing the labor force. However, there are some current problems associated with unstructured environments make developing a robotic harvester challenge. This article presents dual-arm aubergine harvesting robot consisting of two arms configured an anthropomorphic manner optimize dual workspace. To detect and locate aubergines automatically, we implemented...
This paper describes the design and control concepts of a wall-climbing robot. It has an hexapod configuration it is able to manoeuvre on vertical surfaces carrying high payloads. Configuration leg criteria specific for climbing tasks are discussed. The controller architecture showing decentralised parallel hard real-time performance outlined. New stability wall locomotion introduced gait using force distribution shows working our scheme generation. We call this four phase discontinuous...
Autonomous robots in the agri-food sector are increasing yearly, promoting application of precision agriculture techniques. The same applies to online services and techniques implemented over Internet, such as Internet Things (IoT) cloud computing, which make big data, edge digital twins technologies possible. Developers autonomous vehicles understand that for must take advantage these on strengthen their usability. This integration can be achieved using different strategies, but existing...
Several static and dynamic stability criteria have been defined in the course of walking robot history. Nevertheless, different applications may require and, to authors' best knowledge, there is no qualitative classification such measurements. Using wrong criterion control a gait prevent task from succeeding. Furthermore, if optimum found, can also be optimized. In this paper, that applied robots with at least four legs are examined terms their margins situations. As result, for machines...
Minimization of energy expenditure in autonomous mobile robots for industrial and service applications is a topic huge importance, as it the best way lengthening mission time without modifying power supply. This paper presents method to minimize consumption hexapod robot on irregular terrain. An energy-consumption model derived statically stable gaits before applying minimization criteria. Then, some parameters that define foot trajectories legged are computed during every half locomotion...
Machine vision systems are becoming increasingly common onboard agricultural vehicles (autonomous and non-autonomous) for different tasks. This paper provides guidelines selecting machine-vision optimum performance, considering the adverse conditions on these outdoor environments with high variability illumination, irregular terrain or plant growth states, among others. In this regard, three main topics have been conveniently addressed best selection: (a) spectral bands (visible infrared);...
