“…The software runs on a 2 GHz dual core PC onboard the robot. For the experiments, the tracking application was implemented within the software framework RoSe developed at FKIE [35]. This framework consists of roughly 30 modules which exchange information over a UDP-based communication infrastructure.…”

In this article, we present a component-based visual tracker for mobile platforms with an application to person tracking. The core of the technique is a componentbased descriptor that captures the structure and appearance of a target in a flexible way. This descriptor can be learned quickly from a single training image and is easily adaptable to different objects. It is especially well suited to represent humans since they usually do not have a uniform appearance but, due to clothing, consist of different parts with different appearance. We show how this component-based descriptor can be integrated into a visual tracker based on the well known Condensation algorithm. Several person tracking experiments carried out with a mobile robot in different laboratory environments show that the system is able to follow people autonomously and to distinguish individuals. We furthermore illustrate the advantage of our approach compared to other tracking methods.

In cloud robotics, the model to share information efficiently is still a research challenge. This paper presents an information sharing model for cloud-enabled robots to collaborate and share intelligence. To provide the efficient message dissemination, an adaptive group communication based on multi-agent is proposed. The proposed algorithm uses a weight function for the link nodes to determine the significant links. The performance evaluation showed that the proposed algorithm produced minimal message overhead and was faster to answer queries because of the significant links compared to traditional group communication methods.

This paper focuses on the utilization of wireless networking in the robotics domain. Many researchers have already equipped their robots with wireless communication capabilities, stimulated by the observation that multi-robot systems tend to have several advantages over their single-robot counterparts. Typically, this integration of wireless communication is tackled in a quite pragmatic manner, only a few authors presented novel Robotic Ad Hoc Network (RANET) protocols that were designed specifically with robotic use cases in mind. This is in sharp contrast with the domain of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). This observation is the starting point of this paper. If the results of previous efforts focusing on VANET protocols could be reused in the RANET domain, this could lead to rapid progress in the field of networked robots. To investigate this possibility, this paper provides a thorough overview of the related work in the domain of robotic and vehicular ad hoc networks. Based on this information, an exhaustive list of requirements is defined for both types. It is concluded that the most significant difference lies in the fact that VANET protocols are oriented towards low throughput messaging, while RANET protocols have to support high throughput media streaming as well. Although not always with equal importance, all other defined requirements are valid for both protocols. This leads to the conclusion that cross-fertilization between them is an appealing approach for future RANET research. To support such developments, this paper concludes with the definition of an appropriate working plan.
