We introduce our concept on the modular wireless robot consisting of three main modules : main unit, data acquisition and data processing modules. We have developed a generic prototype with an integrated control and monitoring system to enhance its flexibility, and to enable simple operation through a web-based interface accessible wirelessly. In present paper, we focus on the microcontroller based hardware to enable data acquisition and remote mechanical control.

A prototype of modular networked robot for autonomous monitoring works with full control over web through wireless connection has been developed. The robot is equipped with a particular set of built-in analyzing tools and appropriate censors, dependi ng on its main purposes, to enable self-independent and real-time data acquisition and processing. The paper is focused on the microcontroller-based system to realize the modularity. The whole system is divided into three modules : main unit, data acquisition and data processing, while the analyzed results and all aspects of control and monitoring systems are fully accessible over an integrated web-interface. This concept leads to some unique features : enhancing flexibility due to enabling partial replacement of the modules according to user needs, easy access over web for remote users, and low development and maintenance cost due to software dominated components.
In this paper, we propose an operation procedure for our previously developed in-pipe robotic system that is used for water quality monitoring in water distribution systems (WDS). The proposed operation procedure synchronizes a developed wireless com munication system that is suitable for harsh environments of soil, water, and rock with a multi-phase control algorithm. The new wireless control algorithm facilitates smart navigation and near real-time wireless data transmission during operation for our in-pipe robot in WDS. The smart navigation enables the robot to pass through different configurations of the pipeline with long inspection capability with a battery in which is mounted on the robot. To this end, we have divided the operation procedure into five steps that assign a specific motion control phase and wireless communication task to the robot. We describe each step and the algorithm associated with that step in this paper. The proposed robotic system defines the configuration type in each pipeline with the pre-programmed pipeline map that is given to the robot before the operation and the wireless communication system. The wireless communication system includes some relay nodes that perform bi-directional communication in the operation procedure. The developed wireless robotic system along with operation procedure facilitates localization and navigation for the robot toward long-distance inspection in WDS.
robosuite is a simulation framework for robot learning powered by the MuJoCo physics engine. It offers a modular design for creating robotic tasks as well as a suite of benchmark environments for reproducible research. This paper discusses the key sy stem modules and the benchmark environments of our new release robosuite v1.0.
We propose an energy-efficient controller to minimize the energy consumption of a mobile robot by dynamically manipulating the mechanical and computational actuators of the robot. The mobile robot performs real-time vision-based applications based on an event-based camera. The actuators of the controller are CPU voltage/frequency for the computation part and motor voltage for the mechanical part. We show that independently considering speed control of the robot and voltage/frequency control of the CPU does not necessarily result in an energy-efficient solution. In fact, to obtain the highest efficiency, the computation and mechanical parts should be controlled together in synergy. We propose a fast hill-climbing optimization algorithm to allow the controller to find the best CPU/motor configuration at run-time and whenever the mobile robot is facing a new environment during its travel. Experimental results on a robot with Brushless DC Motors, Jetson TX2 board as the computing unit, and a DAVIS-346 event-based camera show that the proposed control algorithm can save battery energy by an average of 50.5%, 41%, and 30%, in low-complexity, medium-complexity, and high-complexity environments, over baselines.
Model-based methods are the dominant paradigm for controlling robotic systems, though their efficacy depends heavily on the accuracy of the model used. Deep neural networks have been used to learn models of robot dynamics from data, but they suffer f rom data-inefficiency and the difficulty to incorporate prior knowledge. We introduce Structured Mechanical Models, a flexible model class for mechanical systems that are data-efficient, easily amenable to prior knowledge, and easily usable with model-based control techniques. The goal of this work is to demonstrate the benefits of using Structured Mechanical Models in lieu of black-box neural networks when modeling robot dynamics. We demonstrate that they generalize better from limited data and yield more reliable model-based controllers on a variety of simulated robotic domains.
