Vol 7, No 1 (2022): A Study on Developing User Requirements for Collaborative Robot Design
Authors: Ravi Kumar, Shiv Shankar Prasad
Abstract: This paper is concerned with a methodology for gathering user requirements (URs) to inform a later design process of industrial collaborative robots. The methodology is applied to four use cases from Collaborate, which is a European project focusing on how industrial robots learn to cooperate with human workers in performing new manufacturing tasks. The project follows a User-Centered Design (UCD) approach by involving end-users in the development process. The user requirements (URs) are gathered using a mixed methodology, with the purpose of formulating a list of case specific requirements, which can be also generalized. The results presented in this paper consist of the list of user requirements, which will serve as a basis in establishing scenarios and system requirements for later design of a Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) system. The described methodology contributes to the field of design of HRC systems by taking a UCD approach. The methodology is aimed at improving the solution performance and users’ acceptance of the technology, by early involvement of the users in the design process. It can also be adaptable to other development projects, where users play an essential role in creating Human-Robot Collaboration solutions.

Vol 6, No 2 (2021): A Bug Algorithm-Based Obstacle and Edge Detection System
Author: Dr. Muhammad Masroor Ali, Mohammad Mahfuzul    Islam
Abstract:Because the purpose of an autonomous robot is to arrive at its destination without colliding with anything, obstacle avoidance is a significant difficulty in robotics. One type of autonomous robot is a real-time obstacle avoidance edge detection robot, which can identify obstacles and edges and take other routes that are free of them. This study shows a robotic robot with built-in intelligence that directs itself using a bug algorithm if it finds an impediment. This robotic robot is built with the AT Mega 8 series of microcontrollers (Arduino Uno R3). The ultrasonic sensor detects any barrier with edges and sends an instruction to the microcontroller. The microprocessor informs the robot to push in a different direction based on the received input signal by activating the motors attached to it via a motor driver. Depending on the situation, the robot may select the appropriate course of action. Here, an obstacle avoidance edge detection decision-making process occurs on its own. This robot was designed to think about what it could do on a daily basis.

Authors: H.S.Bhore, Aniket Kadam, Shripad Nikam, Digvijay Nerlekar, Shubham Mane, Shreyas Shinde, Srinivas Nikam, Sourav Desai, Â Nikhil Potekar
Abstract: The fire fighting occupation has a long history of dangerous situations. There has been numerous and devastating human losses due to lack in technological advancements. In daily life, fire hazards have become more common and it becomes the responsibility of fire fighters to overcome any difficulties and extinguish fires protecting the human life and other possible losses. But they are often exposed to higher risks while performing fire extinguishing operations, especially in hazardous environments such as in nuclear power plants and petroleum refineries. With the development in the field of robotics, human intrusion has become less and robots are being widely used in order to overcome difficulties faced by firemen. This is one of the reasons for which robots are used instead of humans to handle fire hazards. Therefore, this paper presents the event of a firefighting robot which will extinguish fire without the necessity for fire fighters to be exposed to unnecessary danger. In this project, we are developing a robot which can also be used on domestic levels for fire extinguishing operations. This robot is compact in size and may be wont to extinguish fires reaching the impacted areas through narrow pathways. It works on wireless technology using radio frequency transmitter and receiver to control the fire extinguishing operations.

Vol 6, No 1 (2021): A Study on using a PIR Sensor of Surveillance Robot Capturing Intruder
Authors: Pankaj Shende, Pooja Pathade, Tushar Patil
Abstract: This research focuses on a surveillance mission carried out in an environment by an autonomous mobile robot. The Robert is intended to discover as many invaders as possible during its operation, thanks to its versatility and monitoring capabilities. However, because the robot does not know where and how many environmental intruders are present, it is hard for the robot to estimate an intrusion pattern or discover unknown intruders without the data. This paper addresses the problem of estimating the robot's incursion trend by presenting a novel surveillance strategy. Bayes' rule is primarily utilised for this purpose. This probabilistic technique enables the robot to express invaders based on their probability and frequency of occurrence. In addition to smaller locations, the robot is primarily capable of monitoring places with an infiltration tendency. The efficiency of the proposed strategy for unknown intrusions is demonstrated through simulation studies. Furthermore, the robot's adaptability to various types of infiltration trends is examined using a probabilistic technique.

Vol 6, No 1 (2021): A Study on Four-Legged Field Robot's Leg Mechanism
Authors: Mahima Tyagi, Karan Sharma, Rupali Patil
Abstract: The key challenges of a four-legged field robot are leg mechanism, leg and body motion control. As a result, this paper discusses the leg-making process and motion control of a four-legged robot. Many obstacles arise with the construction of a four-legged field robot. The problems in building the robot were also discussed in this paper. Many mathematical methods for smooth control of linear and nonlinear motion of dynamic systems were introduced in the twentieth century. Sensors, actuators, and control algorithms are frequently employed in the construction of field, aerial, and underwater robots. Wheeled robots are the most frequent type of field robot because, in comparison to aerial and underwater robots, they are easier to manage. Wheeled robots, on the other hand, have a number of drawbacks, including the inability to navigate stairwells and difficult terrain. As a result, a four-legged robot is constructed in this work to address these issues. Many challenges arise during the building of a four-legged robot, including suitable electric motor selection, leg mechanism and motion control, and synchronisation of movement of four legs for steady robot movements.

Vol 6, No 1 (2021): A Study on Robotic Nutmeg Harvesting
Author: Himashu Joshi
Abstract: With a 5DOF robotic arm and a linear actuation mechanism, an autonomous robot can identify mature nutmeg fruits and pick them from any height. The camera analyses real-time video of the tree to identify mature fruits and their coordinates. A Raspberry Pi 3 model is used to control this action. The OpenCV platform is used to process the image. This information is sent to an Arduino UNO board, which controls the robotic arm's movement. The required inverse kinematics algorithms are then executed on the arduino board, which moves the joints at proper angles to achieve the goal location. The fruit is then plucked and placed into a container attached to the robot using a gripper end-effector. The robotic arm platform travels to a greater height on its own once the fruits at a specific height level are entirely plucked, thanks to a linear actuator mounted at the bottom. The robot just reaches for the fruit because it is set at a certain distance from the tree's trunk.
