THE CORRECTION OF THE MEASURING ACCURACY OF THE INDUSTRIAL ROBOT BY USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS

Using industrial robots to the measurement tasks in the field of multicoordinate metrology is worth the interest. But it demands performing adaptation process, correcting the measuring accuracy if needed and determining the field of measuring tasks. During the adaptation process it is important to perform analysis of the accuracy of built measurement system. In the case of lack of accuracy it is indispensable to correct this values. The use of software methods like ANN (Artifical Neural Networks) seems to be expedient, because it is not the mechanical interference. The point of the described method is the determination of error in the given spaces. Then it is possible to built the accuracy model of whole robots space.

INVESTIGATION FOR TIMBER BARKING ROBOTIZED SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

The original Timber Barking Principle – Using Electrical Current Effects has been tested for an industry timber barking purposes. This untraditional timber barking - no wood loss - method demands the special measuring Stand By Post to be done – for the parameters identification and setting; to be realized the voltage control for the Timber Barking Model with Operational Dimensions. The other control way – acceptable for the logs with the low quality subcortical layers has been tested. The speed control tests of the feeding device has been done – to be improved the robotized system intelligent behaviour. The tests results and problems are given. To the successful Timber Barking - the specific energy range w [Ws/m²] has been caught.

MODELING OF SUPERVISOR’S ACTION MEASUREMENTS IN CONTROL OF MULTI-AGENTS MOBILE ROBOTIC SUBSYSTEM

The ways of modeling of supervisor’s action measurements in control of multi-agents mobile robotic subsystem using cognitive idea are discussed. The architecture of a transport subsystem, which can work efficiently both in the newest and existing manufacturing systems as well as rules for co-operation and coordination of vehicles have been presented. Computer simulation results are given.

VERIFICATION OF THE CONVERGENCE BETWEEN ISO GUM 95 vs MONTE CARLO METHOD REGARDING THE EXPANDAD UNCERTAINTY AT THE PRESSURE LABORATORY IN BRAZIL

This paper describes the way by which the National Pressure Laboratory in Brazil has been calculating its calibration measurement capabilities (CMC) using the uncertainty estimations contained in the ISO GUM 95 and declared in the appendix C of the BIPM, and verifying if there is any convergence and consistency between the measurements results calculate with both methods.

SIM VACUUM COMPARISON FROM 13 Pa UP TO 1,33 kPa

This comparison constitutes the first vacuum comparison among National Metrology Institutes (NMI) within the Interamerican Metrology System (SIM). Each laboratory used its national standards. The Centro Nacional de Metrología (CENAM, Mexico) used a primary standard (static expansion system type) and the Instituto Nacional de Metrologia, Normalização e Qualidade Industrial (INMETRO, Brazil) used a secondary standard (comparison system type). CENAM had the role of coordinator and pilot laboratory. The comparison started in December 2004 and finished in March 2005. The objective of the comparison was to estimate the level of agreement for the realization of the quantity and the uncertainty associated to its measurement.
One transducer (Capacitive Diaphragm Gauge) was used as transfer standard; the comparison range was selected from 13 Pa to 1,33 kPa. The relevant aspects of the measurement protocol are summarized in the paper but were widely developed in the comparison reference documents. The gas used for the comparison was nitrogen. The measurements started at the lowest pressure and the pressure was increased up to the maximum range. The analysis of measurements comparability between the laboratories is included here. This bilateral comparison has been entered within the SIM data base as a pilot comparison SIM.7.26 P.
