Abstract: Nowadays, using robots instead of humans in risk operations is an interesting point in the field of robotics. In this paper we introduce an integrated approach for search and rescue operation of detecting gas sources in large areas; e.g. houses, factories, and labs. This aims at saving people’s lives at bottlenecks resulting from gas leak and ignition of fires. Experiment is performed using master Khepera robot supplied with gas sensor circuit to search map, in addition to two slave Khepera supplied with gripper to take the best path to clinch the victim.
Moreover, this paper proposes an improvement of Albers exploration algorithm to reduce the time required to explore unknown map with different polygon obstacles. The proposed approach aims to minimizing the overall exploration time, making it possible to localize fire sources in an efficient way, as demonstrated in
Vrep simulation as well as real world experiments with Khepera III robot. A comparison among different algorithms has showed the effectiveness of the proposed one where the percentage of performance speedup is about 30% to 57% depending on size of the map and number of obstacles.
1 INTRODUCTION
Autonomous Robots are meant to perform searching operations inside buildings, mines and caves , which are considered extremely serious. These
3. Design an algorithm in pseudocode to solve the problem. Make sure to include steps to get each input and to report each output.
A gas leak is an emergency that places you and your family at risk, and cannot be postponed. In its natural state, natural gas is odorless and tasteless. Mercaptan is added providing it with its signature rotten egg smell. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate your home; call 911, and your gas provider who will shut off the gas to your home. Do not stop to gather belongings, to use the phone, operate lights, or appliances. The potential hazards of gas are suffocation, explosion, and fire. Due to these dangers, it is essential that gas installation and gas line repair in Sugar Land is performed by a qualified licensed plumber. In addition, our plumbers have the training and equipment to provide leak detection services.
There are many procedures, but the last procedure that I am going to look at is Gas Leak. There are many ways or things that are needed to be taken under consideration in order to maintain a healthy, safe and secure environment. As in the event of gas leak or the suspected gas leak, all the staff must extinguish all naked flames and do not switch ON or OFF any electrical appliances including lights. Do not operate any electrical switches, either "ON" or
Figure 10 shows the results between the hybridg algorithm compared to other algorithms with various mathematical functions as presented by privous sessions. It is cleard to see that the hybride algorithm performed better than other techniques. Surrprisingly, the Ackley function performed closely to the hybride algorithm. Figure 11 - 14 shows that PSO reached the optimal result very quickly because this algorithm works as a local search which makes a narrow space for the search of a solution, rather than other algorithms which work as a global search
The purpose of this experiment is to investigate some physical and chemical properties of gases and to use these properties to identify these gases when they are encountered.
Another common sign is a hissing, whistling or roaring noise around a gas appliance, or outside around the gas meter. In an outdoor gas leak, you may see dirt, grass or leaves blowing into the air or being blown along the ground. Bubbles in or standing water. Gas leaks can also lead to nearby wilting or dying plants or grass. If suspect a gas leak, don't use any type of phone, or operate anything electrical, including light switches or appliances. In the presence of gas, even starting a car or other motor is dangerous. In addition, don't take the time to gather belongings, instead immediately evacuate the home or building and call 911, and your gas company from a safe distance away. Once the location is declared safety by the authorities, contact us for gas line repair in Sugar
In order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method over original Apriori and FApriori [9], experiment has been conducted several times and compared the results in 3 ways.
Hazardous materials can be important in everyday life when properly handled. However, when improperly handled, they can result in injury, death, and destruction as well as have lingering effects that may last for years to come. To address the risk of an uncontrolled hazardous materials release, there must be a coordinated effort to identify, locate, and quantify the hazardous materials in a particular location (Drexel University Safety & Health, 2001). Typically, industry and government agree that a hazardous materials incident is one where
The standard bat algorithm bears many benefits, along with the significant advantages is the fact that it is able to produce extremely fast convergence at an extremely major stage by transferring from adventure to exploitation. That makes it an effective algorithm for services much like classifications while others although an easy choice is needed. Nevertheless, when we permit the algorithm to switch to exploitation stage much too immediately, it may result in stagnation after certain first stage. So that you can improve the overall performance,
During emergencies in dense forests and mountainous areas (trekkers’ paradises such as Switzerland’s Alps, Nepal and Peru), rescue teams make use of drones with neural network to digest about 20,000 images of human-made trails to recognize the missing people’s trajectories (Patel, 2016). Drones were trained to autonomously steer itself along the victim’s most likely pathway to deliver supplies such as walkie-talkie, GPS locator or medical aids to the victims on prime time. This leads to time wastage and injury risk factors greatly reducing in order for a proper rescue plan to take action.
Gas leaks are also a danger to the people, plants and animals in the home. They are a danger to our health and have even been shown to kill vegetation at times. Depending on the size of the leak, some have even been known to kill large trees and damage the atmosphere.
To meet the needs of this project, we used a lot of situations similar methods. I'll analysis the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
Exact optimisation method is the optimisation method that can guarantee to find all optimal solutions. In principle, the optimality of generated solution can be proofed mathematically. Therefore, exact optimisation is also termed as mathematical optimisation. However, exact optimisation approach is impractical usually. The effort of solving an optimisation problem by exact optimisation grows polynomially with the problem size. For example, to solve a problem by brute force approach, the execution time increases exponentially respect to the dimensions of the problem.
There are several related researches from 1994 until 2012. Overall, they suggest a scheduling technique by considering required space, space-constrained and
Abstract- Navigation movement of the robot is one of the most important parts in an intelligent robot system. a lot of studies have done on avoiding trajectory, navigation and obstacle in the known environment, but it is difficult to get, the optimum trajectory in the path in a known environment this is one of the important parts of the robotic planning.
