Implementation of a Robotic Mobile Manipulator moving a NDT probe inside Steel Cylinder Concrete Pipes for Corrosion Assessment

This paper presents the full implementation of a mobile robotic manipulator moving a probe inside steel cylinder concrete pipes (SCCP) for corrosion assessment. Mechanical prototype based on an off-the-shelf mobile base and a custom-designed manipulator, control and monitoring software architecture, posture control and manipulation inside SCCP are presented. Simulations and testing under realistic operating conditions demonstrate a reliable solution providing repeatable results with high positioning accuracy.

Research on the Electric Enclosed Loading Tester of Gearbox

A project about electric enclosed loading test system of gearbox is put forward by comparison. The structure and working principle of the system is introduced during the Control loop and the microcomputer monitoring software architecture figure of the system is given out. The test results show that the loading system runs steadily, loads conveniently, saves energy obviously, and satisfies the requirement of design.

DIAMOND: distributed multi-agent architecture for monitoring and diagnosis

This paper presents a concept for building up a distributed monitoring and diagnosis system for complex industrial applications. For this purpose, a hierarchical organized model with distributed, cooperating agents was developed. The hierarchical aspect guarantees a predictable behaviour of the system with a high performance and the flexibility of the system is ensured by the federal distribution (Bongaerts 1998). By using this approach, a modular component diagnosis and monitoring (CDM) system is realized that enables the integration of legacy monitoring and diagnostic tools, specific to the application area. Universal applicable mechanisms were found to perform diagnostic processes and to improve the quality of a diagnosis by handling different diagnostic mechanisms in parallel and by applying conflict resolution algorithms. This software architecture for monitoring and diagnosis was developed by the University of Karlsruhe in cooperation with three industrial partners and one research institute within the framework of the EU Esprit Program: ‘DIAMOND: DIstributed Architecture for MONitoring and Diagnosis’ (DIAMOND 2002).
