In this paper, a new multi-floor navigating method is proposed for the intelligent mobile robot transportation in life science laboratories. The proposed method includes two technical solutions as follows: (a) a solution is presented to build a multifloor map for the mobile robots based on the ceiling landmarks and the robot on-board StarGazer sensors. All the installed ceiling landmarks are given an unique HEX ID and the StarGazer sensors work as a HEX reader to measure the ceiling HEX IDs to calculate the indoor positions of the mobile robots. With this solution, the multi-floor map can be extended and revised conveniently by the laboratory personal for any sizes of laboratory environments and any types of mobile robots; (b) a new approach is made to recognize and understand the environments of the elevators in the life science laboratories for the mobile robot multi-floor transportation. In the approach, the Microsoft Kinect sensors are utilized to measure the physical features of the elevators. Two experiments are provided to validate the performance of the proposed multi-floor navigation method. The results show that the proposed method is effective for the mobile robot multi-floor transportation in laboratory environments.

“…This information includes the required task (grasp/place) and the holder number. According to the holder number (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8), the robot moves to the required position (1 or 2) for performing the task. In this case, each mark is considered as a reference for 4 related holder where the holders 1, 2, 5, and 6 belong to a particular robot position.…”

The paper deals with the design and construction of a universal robotic vehicle prototype, used for laboratory and educational purposes. The main goal is its use as a technology demonstrator for the needs of students, therefore it is equipped with several kinds of sensors and universal advanced control technologies and design solutions. Its basis is a control system and construction concept using mobile battery gear and omnidirectional Mecanum wheels. A manipulating arm and advanced tracking and spatial navigation systems are also components of the design. Since the problem of a customized design and construction of such a robotic vehicle is very complex and solved in various scientific fields, in this paper we will mainly focus on the detailed description of the control systems and subsystems of the vehicle. AbstraktPríspevok sa zaoberá návrhom a stavbou prototypu univerzálneho robotického vozidla, slúžiacieho pre laboratórne a študijné účely. Účelom je jeho využitie ako technologického demonštrátora pre potreby študentov, z tohto dôvodu je osadený univerzálne všetkými dostupnými druhmi snímačov a univerzálnymi pokrokovými riadiacimi technológiami a konštrukčnými riešeniami. Základom je jeho riadiaci system a konštrukčné prevedenie s batérióvym pohonom pre všesmerové Mecanum kolesá. Súčasťou konštrukcie je aj manipulačné rameno a pokrokové systémy lokalizácie a navigácie v priestore. Nakoľko problematika vlastného návrhu a stavby takéhoto mechatronického robotického vozidla je veľmi obsiahla a riešená v rôznym vedných oblastiach, budeme sa v tomto príspevku konkrétne venovať jeho riadiacim systémom a podsystémom, ktoré si podrobnejšie rozpíšeme.
