“…According to the number of variable arms, tracked robot can be divided into four-track two-arm robot and six-track four-arm robot. URBOT, NUGV and Talon robot are a kind of single pair of tracked robot [6][7][8] , whose structure is simple compared with other double or multiple tracks mobile robot. They have simpler control system, better mobility and flexibility, but the obstacle crossing ability is its poor drawback.…”

Abstract-Based on the characteristics of wheeled, tracked and legged movements, a variable parallelogram tracked mobile robot(VPTMR) is proposed and developed to enhance its adaptability and stability in the complex environment. This VPTMR robot consists of two variable parallelogram structures, which are composed of one main tracked arm, two lower tracked arms and a chasis. The variable parallelogram structure is actuated by a DC motor. And another DC motor actuates the track rotation, which enables VPTMR robot to move in wheeled, tracked and legged mode that makes the robot to adapt to all rugged environments. The prototype(VPTMR) is developed to verify its performance on environmental adaptability, obstacle crossing ability and stability.

“…Many papers have addressed on this issue, e.g. face motion [1], [2], learning ability [3] [4], and eye ball motion [5]. Some robots can even perform complicated tasks, such as grasping objects that appear in the kitchen environment [6], dancing [7], or other artistic works [8] [9] and so on.…”

This paper presents the creation of a robot capable of real-time drawing artistic portraits and signature. The application is based on the successful integration of multidisciplinary techniques including face detection, image processing, face image and characters segmentation, space coordinates transformation, trajectory planning, and robot arm motion control. The autonomous human face portrait is conducted by on a two-armed and twin-wheeled robot with a CCD camera on the head. A large number of real-time portrait experiments show that when the face of the people is properly illuminated, the robot can consistently use its 6-DOF arm to draw a face portrait consisting of smooth line segments and sign its name on the portrait.
