Application of Multi-Sensors Information Fusion for Self-protection System of Robot

This paper developed a kind of robot self-protection system using the multi-sensors information fusion technology. This system used five groups of photoelectric sensor and ultrasonic sensor which were installed in different direction of the robot. In this study, signals were gathered by using the complement of ranging of photoelectric sensor and ultrasonic sensor. Then the signals were sent to MCU to achieve multi-sensors information fusion.Core fusion technology was the adaptive weighted fusion estimation algorithm, which can make measurement data more accurate. With such technology, an accurate robot self-protection command was made as to avoid obstacles, to judge narrow highland and to prevent dropping. The experiment results validated its good self-protection function. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v11i3.2312 Full Text: PDF

Identification of Freshwater Fish Meat Freshness Based on Multi-Sensor Fusion Technology

In order to explore the application of multi-sensor fusion technology in nondestructive testing of agricultural products and develop new detection methods for agriculture, multi-sensor information fusion technology are performed to identify freshness of freshwater fish meat. Different freshness of grass carp specimens were identified by multi-sensor fusion method which three characteristic data that are PH value, conductance and smell were measured, collected, and then fused by fuzzy theory method. During the experiment process the value of the total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) of standard samples and test samples were measured. The freshness standard was established by the TVB-N value of standard samples. Correctness of the results of multi-sensor data fusion was verified by comparing the TVB-N value of the test samples with the freshness standard. The results show that the freshwater fish meat with different freshness can be identified correctly by multi-sensor data fusion method which is fuzzy theory and the accuracy rate is 94%.

Prediction of pulsed GTAW penetration status based on BP neural network and D-S evidence theory information fusion

This paper used multi-sensor information fusion technology in pulsed gas tungsten arc welding. Arc sensor, visual sensor, and sound sensor were used simultaneously to obtain weld current, voltage, weld pool image, and weld sound information about the pulsed gas tungsten arc welding process, and special algorithms were designed to extract the respective signal features of different sensors’ information. Then D-S evidence theory was used to fuse the different signal features to predict the penetration status about the welding process. Aimed at the difficulty of obtaining basic probability assignment in D-S evidence theory, back-propagation (BP) neural network was used to obtain the basic probability assignment. Experiments were done to obtain data for training the BP neural network and test the prediction reliability of D-S evidence theory information fusion, and comparison results showed that D-S evidence theory could effectively use the information obtained by different sensors and obtain better prediction result than single sensor.
