based on the controller by tuning a few parameters. This book chapter presents the development of a laboratory scale self-balancing prototype robot. It addresses the balancing mechanism issue based on the theories of inverted pendulum and rotational inertia. It comprises of two major sub-systems, i

of speech into graphical interfaces aimed towards programming of industrial robot arms. The aim of the prototype is to develop a speech system for designing robot trajectories that would fit well with current CAD paradigms.

This paper describes the mechanical design of the ARAMIES integration study, a four legged robot. It combines newly developed electronic, mechanical, and software components building a fully functional ambulating system. The mechanical concept aims at flexible kinematics and robustness of all

for applications in high level control of robots and industrial processes, intelligent software agents, discrete event simulation, etc. It is based on a formal theory of action specified in an extended version of the situation calculus. A prototype implementation in Prolog has been developed.

in stabilizing and maneuvering. The proposed paradigm has been implemented to develop a prototypical robotic fish. The experiments also illustrate the conventionality, and the robustness of such a fish-robot framework. Index Terms—Artificial intelligence, Intelligent robots, Motion control

The complex underactuated legs used in the FastRunner robot, designed by the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, are designed with multiple link-ages and nonlinear springs to exploit the natural dynamics of the system in order to achieve extraordinary agility and efficiency. One way

three-degree-of-freedom revolute robot manipulator amenable to pick-and-place operations in the industry. Appropriate kinematic equations of the manipulator are obtained, and then used to develop algorithms for locating predetermined positions of a small object in a customized workspace. An Arduino

A major problem for the development of interactive robots is the user requirement definition, especially the requirements of the appearance and the behavior of the robot. This paper proposes to tackle the problem using the well-known rapid prototyping method from the software engineering

. The Appendices provides detailed information, including the steps to construct the Palm Pilot Robot Kit. 1.1 Why prototype? We have noticed that some designers tend to prototype very quickly [1]. Sometimes you can learn something important in a few minutes from a prototype that might have taken weeks or months

In this paper, the application of Rapid Prototvping in fabricating non-assembly robotic systems is pre-sented. Using the Stereolithography Apparatus SLA
