Industrial robot manipulators are widely used for repetitive applications that require high precision, like pick-and-place. In many cases, the movements of industrial robot manipulators are hard-coded or manually defined, and need to be adjusted if the objects being manipulated change position. To increase …

Masonry structures represent the highest proportion of building stock worldwide. Currently, the structural condition of such structures is predominantly manually inspected which is a laborious, costly and subjective process. With developments in computer vision, there is an opportunity to use digital …

Digital platform research often focuses on a ‘snap- shot’ in time, such as around a critical political event. It is less common, and more challenging due to data restrictions, to look at changes over longer periods of time. In this project, we started to address this gap, investigating how Google’s visual …

Cozmo is a real-life robot designed to interact with people playing games, making sounds, expressing emotions on a LCD screen and many other pre-programmable functions. We present the development and implementation of an educational platform for Cozmo mobile robot, with several features, including web …

Gepubliceerd in Mikroniek, nr. 6 2018 In manufacturing environments where collaborative robots are employed, conventional computer vision algorithms have trouble in the robust localisation and detection of products due to changing illumination conditions and shadows caused by a human sharing the …

Autonomous driving in public roads requires precise localization within the range of few centimeters. Even the best localization systems based on GNSS cannot always reach this level of precision, especially in an urban environment, where the signal is disturbed by surrounding buildings and artifacts. …

Autonomous driving in public roads requires precise localization within the range of few centimeters. Even the best current precise localization system based on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) can not always reach this level of precision, especially in an urban environment, where the signal …

Binnen veel automatiseringsprojecten wordt gebruik gemaakt van Computer Vision. Met het ontwikkelen van Computer Vision applicaties kan gezorgd worden dat in processen minder fouten worden gemaakt of dat processen minder arbeidsintensief worden. Zonder het gebruik Computer Vision moeten we terugvallen …

Deze opdracht komt voort uit de wens om boorplatformen te bewaken en naderende vaartuigen te detecteren. Dat gebeurt in eerste instantie met vaste camera’s. Als deze beweging waarnemen, dan moet een Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera gericht en ingezoomd worden op de positie waar een object wordt gedetecteerd …

Wat zijn belangrijke succesfactoren om onderzoek, onderwijs en ondernemen bij elkaar te brengen, zó dat 'het klikt'. De uitdaging voor de toekomst van bedrijven in de smart factoryligt bij data science: het omzetten van ruwe (sensor) data naar (zinnige) informatie en kennis, waarmee producten en diensten …
