“…As shown in Figure 8, the gradient direction of the observed pixel is perpendicular to the direction of the image edge. ere are two adjacent pixel points not on the edge of the image, but the gradient direction may be calculated by formula (4). e gray value of the observed pixel is compared with the gray values of its adjacency pixels, and the gray value of the pixel nonmaximum is set to 0.…”

“…In addition, the detector in this paper can only identify the boundary of monochromatic tiles, and the edge detector will be brittle for patterned tiles. e research of this paper may be not only applicable to control robotic floor-tiling scenes but also use for reference in the construction work under similar working conditions, such as curtain wall installation [42], brick masonry [43], and ceiling installation [44,45]. In order to realize that the floor-tiling robot is able to perform actual tiling operations on real construction sites, more in-depth research direction may be developed on the research results of this paper, such as to solve the navigation and positioning problem of the mobile platform on construction site [46], to monitor the progress of the floortiling construction combined with BIM technology [47,48], and to achieve precise positioning of tile laying with contact constraints through hybrid position/force control.…”

In recent years, accelerative aging society is meeting the short supply of young and middle-aged labor. Particularly, most young people are reluctant to work in the construction industry, which has caused the labor cost of floor tiling to rise year by year. In addition, floor tiling requires workers to continuously bend over or lean over to work, which greatly jeopardizes the physical health of them. Therefore, advanced technology applied in floor tiling is highly demanded to replace the traditional manual method. On the context, the automatic method of floor tiling may promote the transformation and upgrading of the industry. Although a few robots for floor tiling have been developed, the automation of existing systems is still at a low level. This paper proposes a robot floor-tiling control strategy based on visual measurement feedback and finite-state machine, in which the calculation of tile position information in limited field of vision is obtained by an improved Canny edge detection and a Hough linear transformation. Moreover, an algorithm for complementing tile position information based on visual measurement is proposed, and the quality of tile laying is evaluated online. To evaluate the effect of the proposed control strategy, the experimental verifications are given. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method can complete the automatic floor tiling with high accuracy.

Shape-changing User Interfaces attract growing interest in Human-Computer Interaction. Modular robotics offer a great opportunity for their implementation. However, the current theoretical and technical advances of modular robotics are fragmented and little centered on the user. To unify existing work and center future research on the user, we perform a systematic literature review enabling us to build a unifying space for the design of modular shape-changing user interfaces.Our aim is to bridge the gap between HCI and robotics. We relate properties of different domains and identify inconsistencies to structure the design space. Towards this aim, we conduct a thorough cross-disciplinary survey to propose: 1) a set of design properties at the scale of the interface (macro-scale) and at the scale of the modules (micro-scale) and 2) the impact of these properties on each other. This paper can be used to describe and compare existing modular shape-changing UIs and generate new design ideas by building upon knowledge from robotics and HCI.

“…At the beginning of the 2010s decade, hardware systems engineering had been using mostly classical development techniques, opposite to software development that had started using agile system engineering practices [39]. However, nowadays it is possible to find recent reports regarding the development of hardware architectures for robotic systems [40][41][42][43] and marine vehicles [44][45][46][47][48][49][50] that have evolved considerably ever since. Nonetheless, several recent developments of marine vehicles reported in the literature [16][17][18]20,21,[23][24][25]30,51,52] do not consider a functional-division-based design process that facilitates the integration of components and subsystems, which is desired for modular hardware architectures.…”

This paper addresses the development of a modular hardware architecture for the design/construction/operation of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), based on systems engineering. The Vee model is first presented as a sequential process that emphasizes the validation processes with stakeholders and verification plans in the development and production stages of the ROV’s life cycle. The conceptual design process starts with the mapping of user requirements to engineering specifications, using the House of Quality (HoQ), a quality function deployment tool that allows executing a functional-division-based hardware design process that facilitates the integration of components and subsystems, as desired for modular architectures. Then, the functional division and hardware architectures are described, and their connection is made through the proposed system architecture that sets the foundation for the definition of a physical architecture, as it involves flows that connect abstract functions with a real context. Development and production stages are exemplified through the design, construction, and integration of some hardware components needed for the remotely operated vehicle Pionero500, and the operational stage briefly describes the first sea trials conducted for the ROV. Systems engineering has shown to be a very useful tool for the development of marine vehicles and marine engineering projects that require modular architectures.
