Industry 4.0 is an important trend in factory automation nowadays. Among the Automated-Storage-and-Retrieval-System (ASRS) is one of the most important issues for industry. It is widely used in a variety of industries for a variety of storage applications in factories and warehouses. However, the cost of constructing an ASRS is so high that most small/medium enterprises cannot afford it. A forklift system is a cheaper alternative to a complicated ASRS. In this work, a new pallet detection method that uses an Adaptive Structure Feature (ASF) and Direction Weighted Overlapping (DWO) ratio to allow forklifts to pick up a pallet is proposed, using a monocular vision system on the forklift. Combining the ASF and DWO ratio for pallet detection, the proposed method removes most of the non-stationary (dynamic) background and significantly increases the processing efficiency. A Haar like-based Adaboost scheme uses an AS for pallets algorithm to detect pallets. It detects the pallet in a dark environment. Finally, by calculating the DWO ratio between the detected pallets and tracking records, it avoids erroneous candidates during object tracking. Therefore, this work improves the pallet detection to solve the problem with an effective design. As results show that the hybrid algorithms that are proposed in this work increase the average pallet detection rate by 95 %. 相似文献

The warehouse is one of the essential components of logistics and supply chains. The efficiency of the whole chain is affected by the performance of warehouse operations and, more particularly, the storage and retrieval of goods. This paper considers a storage and retrieval problem in a real warehouse with random storage and different types of forklifts, depending on the locations they can access. The problem deals with selecting locations to store/retrieve a predefined set of pallets, assigning an adequately skilled forklift to each operation and determining the order in which each forklift will perform its operations so that the total employed time is minimized. The problem is solved heuristically by decomposing it into three subproblems, each one handling one of the three key decisions of the problem, and taking into account congestion considerations. The paper also studies two modifications of the problem, adding secondary objective functions. Computational results compare the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms for the different problems in a stochastic environment via simulation. 相似文献

This paper presents an electromagnetic conveyance system called electromagnetic modular Smart Surface (emSS) permitting to move pallets on a planar surface in a microfactory context. The proposed surface concept allows flexibility in reconfiguring the system layout along with product routing. The possibilities of accurate positioning of the moving pallet and controlling multiple pallets on the surface make the emSS suitable for reconfigurable and flexible manufacturing systems. However, the emSS control needs to be robust and scalable to adapt the changes in manufacturing systems. A framework is therefore defined to monitor and control the emSS by simulation or in-line. It allows to define product routing on the emSS by satisfying numerous requirements such as reduction in energy consumption, collision avoidance, etc., and to minimize the human interventions by changing product routing when emSS component failures occur. A first experiment realized on an emSS prototype, allowed to compare two paths strategies regarding cost function linked to energy consumption and velocities. Two other studies exploit the emSS modeling in terms of pallet path generation and simulation of collision avoidance. 相似文献

This paper describes the development process of EasyWrite, a text-entry method for mobile devices that allows people with hand coordination problems to use small computer devices such as smartphones, tablet PCs, or other touchscreen machines. This text-entry method aims at improving typing accuracy and reducing frustration of people affected by this motor disability when using small devices. EasyWrite was developed following an iterative and user-centred process. Starting from requirements elicited from observing potential users with mild and moderate motor disabilities and information provided by a literature review, a low-fidelity prototype was built and evaluated. This early prototype was refined throughout several design and evaluation iterations. Its current state is a functional prototype that works on Android phones. The functional prototype usability was evaluated through user tests. The result of this process is a small virtual keyboard for mobile devices that has less and bigger keys as compared to other onscreen keyboards. The concept of EasyWrite is largely based on the notion of scanning group systems, but it allows users to navigate directly through groups and subgroups of characters by tapping on directional keys in order to find the desired character rather than waiting for a visual cursor to advance through the options, one at a time, at a specific time rate. Though at its current stage the method proposed by EasyWrite shows some limitations, it appears to be appropriate for users with moderate motor disabilities. For this group of people, user test results indicate that EasyWrite could be a more adequate text-entry method than the one provided by standard keyboards, both physical and onscreen, commonly found in mobile devices. 相似文献

An objective index is developed for the estimation of ride quality during a forklift truck start. After consultation with test drivers, start-motion quality is defined and three governing parameters selected: engagement shock in the driving direction, vertical vibration, and pitch vibration. Subjective evaluation of the starting motion and objective measurements of vehicle vibration were performed on five forklift trucks with various load capacities. The vibration measured at the driver's seat was changed into a perceptual amount by using the frequency weighting curves and the fourth power dose method suggested in ISO 2631-1 (Mechanical Vibration and Shock-evaluation of Human Exposure to Whole-body Vibration--Part 1: General Requirements. International Organization for Standardization). Regression between the perceptual vibrations, expressed as a vibration dose value, and the subjective rating scores yielded an index equation in the form of Steven's psychophysical power law: psi = 1.912phi(-0.601), where psi is the sensation magnitude of start-motion quality and phi is the stimulus magnitude of the vibration dose value. 相似文献

The development of mobile signatures could increase the spread and adoption of mobile services based on electronic signatures, such as mobile payments, mobile business transactions, and mobile government services. A Mobile Signature Service (MSS) means that a user in any of the scenarios mentioned can attach an electronic signature, anywhere, anytime, as with a handwritten signature with a device that is almost always on him or her. Several solutions have appeared, such as using the European Telecommunications Standard Institute MSS, the Mobile Signature Application Unit, and the Mobile Network Operator‐independent MSS. These solutions present two kinds of drawbacks. On the one hand, some of them require the service to be developed by all mobile network operators, whereas others are not based on efficient communications. In this paper, we present a new MSS named SIPmsign that solves these problems. Our proposal is based on the Session Initiation Protocol and defines how to exchange the information in a secure and more efficient way than previously. Thanks to Session Initiation Protocol, we provide the adoption of our proposal as a MSS for the new generation of mobile communications. In this paper, we also present the prototype we have developed as a proof of its feasibility as well as an evaluation of the performance of our solution. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Mobile robotic devices hold great promise for a variety of applications in industry. A key step in the design of a mobile robot is to determine the navigation method for mobility control. The purpose of this paper is to describe a new algorithm for omnidirectional vision navigation. A prototype omnidirectional vision system and the implementation of the navigation techniques using this modern sensor and an advanced automatic image processor is described. The significance of this work is in the development of a new and novel approach—dynamic omnidirectional vision for mobile robots and autonomous guided vehicles. 相似文献

The Life‐long Learning Initiative seeks to fulfil a variety of learning needs for Shanghai citizens. Given the popularity of mobile devices in Shanghai, the ability to provide learning in informal settings through mobile devices is a key objective and challenge of the Initiative. In order to learn how to develop usable learning content for lifelong learners on the move, a set of design principles from both pedagogical and usability concerns was identified. Next, a pilot system, based on the design principles, was developed to implement two prototype lessons. Five subjects were recruited to test each prototype lesson using a heuristic walkthrough method and a focus group meeting. Users' feedback showed that both the practical and the micro principles were valued as a method of integrating learning activity into informal settings in their daily lives. Audio was preferred as well. Technical usability concerns which are consistent with previous web experience were also identified. This research builds new knowledge about design principles for lifelong learning on the move and is a milestone in the development of the future learning resource bank for Shanghai citizens. 相似文献

Multimodal Interfaces for Cell Phones and Mobile Technology 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
By modeling users' natural spoken and multimodal communication patterns, more powerful and highly reliable interfaces can
be designed that support emerging mobile technology. In this paper, we highlight three different examples of research that
is advancing state-of-the-art mobile technology. The first is the development of fusion-based multimodal systems, such as
ones that combine speech and pen or touch input, which are substantially improving the robustness and stability of system
recognition. The second is modeling of multimodal communication patterns to establish open-microphone engagement techniques
that work in challenging multi-person mobile settings. The third is new approaches to adaptive processing, which are able
to transparently guide user input to match system processing capabilities. All three research directions are contributing
to the design of more reliable, usable, and commercially promising mobile systems of the future. 相似文献

User interface and requirements prototyping is a requirements elicitation technique. A user interface and requirements prototype
is built during the requirements engineering phase of a software system development. Along with the user interface prototype
are produced various documents such as the system requirement specification. When a prototype and other documents exist, they
may not describe the same functionality, particularly because there may be behaviour of the prototype, artefacts of prototyping,
that may not be intended. The problem is that in later development stages, when there is a prototype and other documents,
it is often difficult to reconcile the difference between the prototype and the other documents. This paper presents an approach
for avoiding this difficulty. It demonstrates the approach by showing its application to parts of a real software development. 相似文献

A new requirements-based programming approach to the engineering of computer-based systems offers not only an underlying formalism,
but also full formal development from requirements capture through to the automatic generation of provably-correct code. The
method, Requirements-to-Design-to-Code (R2D2C), is directly applicable to the development of autonomous systems and systems
having autonomic properties. We describe both the R2D2C method and a prototype tool that embodies the method, and illustrate
the applicability of the method by describing how the prototype tool could be used in the development of LOGOS, a NASA autonomous
ground control system that exhibits autonomic behavior. Finally, we briefly discuss other possible areas of application of
the approach. 相似文献

In this paper, a prototype system that focuses on affective design perspective for iterative product concept development is proposed and described. The prototype system, which emphasises the solicitation of affective attributes from customers, employs a sorting technique, i.e. picture sorts, for acquiring customer's affective requirements and a hierarchical structure for representing designer's formal elements to meet customer's affective requirements in product conceptualisation. As hierarchical structure alone contains qualitative and uncertain inherence, a self-organised algorithm known as Kohonen self-organising map (SOM) neural network is employed to consolidate the relationship between affective requirements from customers and formal elements from designers so as to formulate a customer-oriented product concept. The performance of the prototype system is illustrated by using a case study on the design of a mobile hand phone. 相似文献
