I n the synthesis of radiopharmaceuticals labeled with short-lived positron-emitting radioisotopes (oxygen-15. nitrogen-13. carbon-11 ( C). fluorine-18 ( T). gallium-68). large initial amounts of radioactivity are often required to produce sufficient amounts of high
A brief review of bipedal robotics research
free download
During the last few years, the number of research and development projects aimed at building bipedal and humanoid robots has been increasing at a rapid rate. In this paper, we provide a brief review of current activities in the field of bipedal and humanoid robotics . WeThroughout history, power has always been associated with technology, to the point that some key historical transitions from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age have taken the name of the technology that triumphed at the time. Yet technology is not only the tools or machines At the dawn of the new millennium, robotics is undergoing a major transformation in scope and dimension. From a largely dominant industrial focus, robotics is rapidly expanding into the challenges of unstructured environments. Interacting with, assisting, serving, and
Intelligent Robotics : Past, Present and Future.
free download
Practical robotics had its origins inside factories manufacturing products on assembly lines, where speed, precision, and reliability were paramount. Thus both human tedium and imprecision were done away with whilst improving the uniformity of a quality product which
A low-cost and simple arduino-based educational robotics kit
free download
This paper presents a low cost educational robotics kit based on the UNO Arduino platform. The prototype is intended to be applied in secondary (high) schools by means of educational workshops on robotics . The project is supported by a step-by-step
Artificial intelligence and robotics

Research and language supervisor: K. Kugai, senior teacher Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design Artificial intelligence (AI) is arguably the most exciting field in robotics . Its certainly the most controversial. Everybody agrees that a robot can work in an assembly line, but theres
sliding mode control methods using MATLAB/SIMULINK and their integration into graduate/undergraduate nonlinear control, robotics and MATLAB courses
free download
This paper describes the MATLAB/SIMULINK realization of the PUMA 560 robot manipulator position control methodology. This paper focuses on two main areas, namely robot manipulator analysis and implementation, and design, analyzed and implement nonlinearIn the last few decades, considerable development in robotics has been achieved. The manipulator robot(arm) tool has introduced automation in several industrial domains, with striking examples in the automobile industry. In spite of this strong initial growth, the
Using prior knowledge to improve reinforcement learning in mobile robotics
free download
Reinforcement learning (RL) is thought to be an appropriate paradigm for acquiring control policies in mobile robotics . However, in its standard formulation (tabula rasa) RL must explore and learn everything from scratch, which is neither realistic nor effective in real
Experiments in social robotics : grounding and use of communication in autonomous agents
free download
Social behaviour and in particular social learning are key mechanisms for the cohesion and evolution of primate societies. Similarly, social skills might be desirable for artificial agents who are expected to interact with other natural or artificial agents. We view learning
A computer tool for simulation and analysis: the Robotics Toolbox for MATLAB
free download
This paper introduces, in tutorial form, a Robotics Toolbox for MATLAB that allows the user to easily create and manipulate datatypes fundamental to robotics such as homogeneous transformations, quaternions and trajectories. Functions provided for arbitrary serial-link
Teaching robotics from a computer science perspective
free download
Most introductory robotics textbooks have been written from the mechanical engineering perspective. These texts spend hundreds of pages studying gears, motors, sensors, and other related topics. While a computer scientist needs to know something about these topics
