Système dynamique mesuréUn système dynamique mesuré est un objet mathématique, représentant un espace de phases muni d'une loi d'évolution, particulièrement étudié en théorie ergodique. Un système dynamique mesuré est la donnée d'un espace probabilisé et d'une application mesurable f : X → X. On exige que f préserve la mesure, ce qui veut dire que : Cette propriété très riche permet d'obtenir de puissants théorèmes. Par ailleurs, un théorème affirme qu'il existe, pour toute transformation continue X → X d'un espace topologique compact X, une mesure de probabilité, borélienne, préservant cette transformation.
Self-reconfiguring modular robotModular self-reconfiguring robotic systems or self-reconfigurable modular robots are autonomous kinematic machines with variable morphology. Beyond conventional actuation, sensing and control typically found in fixed-morphology robots, self-reconfiguring robots are also able to deliberately change their own shape by rearranging the connectivity of their parts, in order to adapt to new circumstances, perform new tasks, or recover from damage.
Humanoid robotA humanoid robot is a robot resembling the human body in shape. The design may be for functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, for experimental purposes, such as the study of bipedal locomotion, or for other purposes. In general, humanoid robots have a torso, a head, two arms, and two legs, though some humanoid robots may replicate only part of the body, for example, from the waist up. Some humanoid robots also have heads designed to replicate human facial features such as eyes and mouths.
Robot navigationRobot localization denotes the robot's ability to establish its own position and orientation within the frame of reference. Path planning is effectively an extension of localisation, in that it requires the determination of the robot's current position and a position of a goal location, both within the same frame of reference or coordinates. Map building can be in the shape of a metric map or any notation describing locations in the robot frame of reference. For any mobile device, the ability to navigate in its environment is important.
Cinématique inverseLa cinématique inverse (souvent abrégée IK, de l'anglais inverse kinematics) désigne l'ensemble des méthodes de calcul des positions et rotations d'un modèle articulaire afin d'obtenir une pose désirée. Les méthodes de cinématique inverse sont principalement utilisées en infographie, en robotique, en animation ou encore en chimie. Le terme cinématique inverse renvoie au fait que la résolution des calculs est généralement basée sur les équations cinématiques du modèle articulaire.
CinématiqueEn physique, la cinématique (du grec kinêma, le mouvement) est l'étude des mouvements indépendamment des causes qui les produisent, ou, plus exactement, l'étude de tous les mouvements possibles. À côté de la notion d'espace qui est l'objet de la géométrie, la cinématique introduit la notion de temps. À ne pas confondre avec la , un terme plus général qui concerne la vitesse et les mécanismes d'une grande variété de processus ; en mécanique, cinétique est utilisé comme adjectif pour qualifier deux grandeurs impliquant aussi la masse : le moment cinétique et l'énergie cinétique.
Robot kinematicsIn robotics, robot kinematics applies geometry to the study of the movement of multi-degree of freedom kinematic chains that form the structure of robotic systems. The emphasis on geometry means that the links of the robot are modeled as rigid bodies and its joints are assumed to provide pure rotation or translation. Robot kinematics studies the relationship between the dimensions and connectivity of kinematic chains and the position, velocity and acceleration of each of the links in the robotic system, in order to plan and control movement and to compute actuator forces and torques.
Chaîne cinématique (robotique)thumb|Exemple de chaîne cinématique du corps humain. Le genou est représenté comme une liaison pivot, la hanche par une liaison sphérique, etc. La chaîne cinématique est un modèle mathématique des systèmes mécaniques dans lequel un ensemble de solides indéformables (les "corps" ou "liens" du système) sont connectés entre eux par des articulations. Les articulations d'une chaîne cinématique sont des liaisons mécaniques.
ZielA goal or objective is an idea of the future or desired result that a person or a group of people envision, plan and commit to achieve. People endeavour to reach goals within a finite time by setting deadlines. A goal is roughly similar to a purpose or aim, the anticipated result which guides reaction, or an end, which is an object, either a physical object or an abstract object, that has intrinsic value. Goal setting Goal-setting theory was formulated based on empirical research and has been called one of the most important theories in organizational psychology.
Forward kinematicsIn robot kinematics, forward kinematics refers to the use of the kinematic equations of a robot to compute the position of the end-effector from specified values for the joint parameters. The kinematics equations of the robot are used in robotics, computer games, and animation. The reverse process, that computes the joint parameters that achieve a specified position of the end-effector, is known as inverse kinematics.
Robotic mappingRobotic mapping is a discipline related to computer vision and cartography. The goal for an autonomous robot is to be able to construct (or use) a map (outdoor use) or floor plan (indoor use) and to localize itself and its recharging bases or beacons in it. Robotic mapping is that branch which deals with the study and application of ability to localize itself in a map / plan and sometimes to construct the map or floor plan by the autonomous robot. Evolutionarily shaped blind action may suffice to keep some animals alive.
Goal settingGoal setting involves the development of an action plan designed in order to motivate and guide a person or group toward a goal. Goals are more deliberate than desires and momentary intentions. Therefore, setting goals means that a person has committed thought, emotion, and behavior towards attaining the goal. In doing so, the goal setter has established a desired future state which differs from their current state thus creating a mismatch which in turn spurs future actions.
