Can a robot improve mine safety?

Author: Green, JJ ; Bosscha, Peter A ; Candy, L ; Hlophe, K ; Coetzee, S ; Brink, S Date: Sep 2010 Safety in mines is of paramount importance, especially in the labour intensive operations of South Africa, where upward of 300 000 people are employed on a daily basis in an environment that is inherently dangerous. On average approximately ... Read more
Conceptual development of an autonomous underwater robot design for monitoring and harvesting invasive weeds

Author: Modungwa, Dithoto M ; Mekuria, Fisseha ; Kekana, Mzuzwezulu Z Date: Sep 2021 The design of an autonomous underwater robot based on biomimicry is presented in this paper. The systematic design of the robot focuses on integrating 5G-AI-IoT- as effective technological tools to autonomously monitor and harvest invasive ... Read more
Generalising human demonstration data by identifying affordance symmetries in object interaction trajectories

Author: Claassens, J ; Demiris, Y Date: Sep 2011 This paper concerns modelling human hand or tool trajectories when interacting with everyday objects. In these interactions symmetries may be exhibited in portions of the trajectories which can be used to identify task space redundancy. This ... Read more
Literature review of SLAM and DATMO

Author: Pancham, A ; Tlale, N ; Bright, G Date: Nov 2011 Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) allows a mobile robot to be completely autonomous in an unknown environment and perform its tasks. The robot is able to create a map of its environment and at the same time locate itself. Real world ... Read more
Model of the humanoid body for self collision detection based on elliptical capsules

Author: Dube, C ; Tsoeu, M ; Tapson, J Date: Dec 2011 This paper presents a self collision detection scheme for humanoid robots using elliptical and circular capsules as bounding volumes. A capsule is defined as an elliptical or circular cylinder capped with ellipsoids or spheres respectively. ... Read more
Robots in mining

Author: Green, J Date: 01 Sep 2010 This presentation investigated the hypothesis stating that robots can improve mining safety. Mine safety statistics are analysed, and accident features are discussed. The conclusion is reached that robots have a role to play in improving ... Read more
Techniques applied in design optimization of parallel manipulators

Author: Modungwa, D ; Tlale, NS ; Twala, B Date: Nov 2011 There are some key advantages associated with parallel robots, which have warranted their continued research and wide application in both university laboratories and industry. To obtain a parallel manipulator with good properties, as customized ... Read more
Towards the certification of non-deterministic control systems for safety-critical applications: analysing aviation analogies for possible certification strategies

Author: Burger, Chris R ; Jones, T Date: Nov 2011 Current certification criteria for safety-critical systems exclude non-deterministic control systems. This paper investigates the feasibility of using human-like monitoring strategies to achieve safe non-deterministic control using multiple ... Read more
