Laboratory and field experiments were conducted to assess the allelopathic potential of
buckwheat. In the field, buckwheat demonstrated strong inhibitory activity by suppressing weeds. …

Bin picking is still a challenge in robotics, as patent in recent robot competitions. These
competitions are an excellent platform for technology comparisons since some participants may …

The allelopathic potential of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) was investigated. Field
study showed that living buckwheat reduced weed biomass compared with plots without …

The World Robot Summit (WRS) is a robotic ‘challenge and exposition’ organized by the
Japanese government to accelerate social implementation, research and development of …

This paper proposes a multiobjective layout optimization method for the conceptual design
of robot cellular manufacturing systems. Robot cellular manufacturing systems utilize one or …

Multi-robot cellular manufacturing systems utilize several articulated industrial robots that
cooperatively perform a large number of complex operations when assembling products. To …

In this paper, we present a concept of using tactile sensors as sufficient tools in localizing,
recognizing an object in robotic in-hand manipulation tasks. Our approach operates on a …

In a robotic cell, assembly robots have to grasp parts in various shapes robustly and
accurately even under some uncertainties in the initial poses of the parts. For this purpose, it is …
