The current work presents the electro-oxidation of olive mill and biodiesel wastewaters in an alkaline medium with aim hydrogen production simultaneous reduction organic pollution content. process is performed, at laboratory scale, own-design single cavity electrolyzer graphite electrodes no membrane. system procedures to generate under ambient conditions are described. gas flow generated analyzed through chromatography. wastewater balance liquid electrolyte shows a chemical oxygen demand...

The automatic classification of defective eggs constitutes a fundamental issue at the poultry industry for both economical and sanitary reasons. early separation with spots cracks is relevant task as stains can leak while progressing on conveyor-belts, degrading all mechanical parts. Present work focused implementation an artificial vision system detecting in real time farm. First step algorithmic process devoted to detection egg shape fix region interest. A color processing then performed...

ABSTRACT The present work describes some strategies for allowing an autonomous mobile robot to maneuver in unknown environment. Such are based fuzzy control rules that determined correspond the linguistic of human operator's strategies. They transformed into algorithms steering and speed a robot. Perception environment is simulated by means ultrasonic sensors.

Global warming is seriously affecting society, but also to a lesser extent the longevity of population and migration people from countryside cities present challenges for governments. Smart applications (smart city, smart grid, buildings, water, health) offer an alternative deal with these challenges. Pervasive sensors, increasingly powerful features, allow innovative developments, making possible progressive growth in so-called applications. Because information backbone any type...

A tentative analysis and design of behaviours to be implemented in robots has been developed. For that purpose we have analysed the human behaviour person who executes robot task. Afterwards transferred this charge same The cognitive task analysis, a powerful tool coming from psychology, used study granularity robots. This is paramount importance because implementation more sophisticated depends on appropriate selection basic behaviours. paper introduces brief explanation different types...

Deals with the optimization of reactive navigation performed fuzzy behaviors in partially known environments. It offers integration global path-planning techniques a nested hierarchical architecture for autonomous vehicle navigation. A three level is proposed based on path-planner level, and an execution level. While solution, gives flexibility robustness required uncertain unpredictable The integrated system allows mobile robot to plan path from initial final position, select accomplish...

Abstract: This work presents an approach to dynamic surface inspection in laminated materials based on the configuration of a visual system obtain good quality control manufacturing surface. It aims overcome some limitations single‐use systems by integrating and differentiating knowledge. The task for is solved as Configuration‐Design according with CommonKADS methodology. analysed at knowledge level decomposed into simple subtasks reach inference level. generic domain involved revision...

This paper proposes a framework for developing distributed architectures aimed at complex behavior generation in autonomous robots. Without engaging radical "mentalistic" or behaviorist ideas, the system developed is useful tool to explore scalability, modularity and complexity issues building To show its validity, case study presented which mobile robot endowed with vision performs "go target" task. Several topics, including identification of classes problems that might constitute blocks...

Many industrial inspection such visual quality control of metal laminates require billions operations per second. Analog CNN array computer arises as an alternative to traditional digital processors, capable make in a single chip Tera equivalent A 4096 analog processor is able perform complex space-time image analysis, being much faster than camera-computer system continuous applications. Both chips have been implemented CMOS technology and they are managed by 32- bit high-performance...

An image entails a huge amount of data and information. For this reason, synthesis analysis by computer systems requires high processing time. This represents handicap in where real time or an immediate interpretation is demanded as visual inspection industrial applications. Present work, introduces architecture for the construction compact real-time system speed inspection. The vision essentially Cellular Neural Network Computer (CNN-C) basically composed Universal Machine (CNN-UM), analog...
