“…The platform described previously is designed for multi-robot object lifting and transportation. This concept has been proven to work in simulation in [16] where we were able to lift a 2 KG object using three robots and displace it about 2 m on a plane surface. Figure 4 shows the forces exerted by each robot on the target object and the total force by which direction the object would move.…”

“…Unlike [16], in the following experiments we will not depend on an external observer to guide the robots towards the target object. The object is equipped with a visual marker, which is detected by the camera to guide the robot automatically to the target object.…”

“…We present a new concept for cooperatively lifting, manipulating, and transporting an object. The concept has already been validated in simulation in [16]. In this paper, we implement an improved version using real hardware and we validate the design in a one-robot scenario with the aim of illustrating the use of the robot platform for research and education in cooperative robotics and manipulation.…”

In this paper we present a new, affordable, omnidirectional robot platform which is suitable for research and education in cooperative robotics. We design and implement the platform for the purpose of multi-agent object manipulation and transportation. The design consists of three omnidirectional wheels with two additional traction wheels, making multirobot object manipulation possible. It is validated by performing simple experiments using a setup with one robot and one target object. The execution flow of a simple task (Approach–Press–Lift–Hold–Set) is studied. In addition, we experiment to find the limits of the applied pressure and object orientation under certain conditions. The experiments demonstrate the significance of our inexpensive platform for research and education by proving its feasibility of use in topics such as collaborative robotics, physical interaction, and mobile manipulation.

“…Their proposed localization subsystem (see Fig. 13) consists of two differentiate parts: (1) an Finally, transportation and logistics, an important area of world economics, is represented by the work in [109]. In their research, authors attempt to build a user interface for controlling a group of omnidirectional robots to realize the transportation of convex shape edge objects.…”

Artificial intelligence and all its supporting tools, e.g. machine and deep learning in computational intelligence-based systems, are rebuilding our society (economy, education, life-style, etc.) and promising a new era for the social welfare state. In this paper we summarize recent advances in data science and artificial intelligence within the interplay between natural and artificial computation. A review of recent works published in the latter field and the state the art are summarized in a comprehensive and self-contained way to provide a baseline framework for the international community in artificial intelligence. Moreover, this paper aims to provide a complete analysis and some relevant discussions of the current trends and insights within several theoretical and application fields covered in the essay, from theoretical models in
