The smart balancing vehicle based on stereo vision

(I) Proposed Title

The smart balancing vehicle based on stereo vision

(II) Introduction

I'm working in a team with my senior students which guided by our supervisor. Our team is to design a smart balancing vehicle with a camera. The principle of our balancing vehicle is a kind of symmetrical layout, using accelerometers and gyroscopes in collabo ration with each other before and after the tilt angle and angular velo city detection , while taking advantage of the sliding rheostat for test ing self-

balancing vehicle steering control lever tilt angle , and the informatio n output to the microcontroller, by appropriate control algorithm to c alculate the amount of control , drive motor , and completed self-balancing vehicle forward, backward and turning such action . Ther e is a camera at the top of the balancing vehicle, which can observe the surrounding environment ,so it can avoid the obstacles ahead and choose the best way by analysis of image ahead.

(III) Background

At present, balancing vehicle has widely spread to people's life both

in domestic and foreign and development in the field of public

transport. At the 2008 Olympics, the segway electric smart balancing

car won the attention of many people. But this propose introduces

the automatic obstacle avoidance based on vision sensors and image

analysis of the balancing vehicle is more similar to a kind of

intelligent robots. Although the obstacle avoidance of intelligent

vehicle research at home and abroad are early, but mainly based on

infrared sensor, detection radar and other navigation systems with

complex system , big volume and high cost. Vision as an important

means of robots for environment information, to the information characteristics of the mobile robot navigation is of important

theoretical significance and practical application value. Compared to

other active measures, the information by stereo vision is fast and

accurate, commonly used to detect suspicious barrier height and

distance.

(IV) Methodology

We are ready to develop the smart balancing vehicle which is based on

mature platform, integrated vision sensor. Namely separating obstacles

from the back-ground by typical image processing method, and

performing the stereo matching of the extracted contour features in combination with the binocular vision calibration results to get the spatial

point of 3D reconstruction. The obstacle avoidance rule and controller

according to the fuzzy principle were designed to avoid collision and by pass the enroute obstacles. The whole running performance of smart balancing vehicle firstly depends on the power supply and motor driver module. The vehicle 's drive not only requires the motor drive system torque weight than high, wide speed range, high reliability, and because the torque - speed characteristic easily affected by power, which requires the driver has the efficient area as wide as possible.

(V)Potential conclusion

If each part of our plan can be successfully finished, we expect that we can product the smart balancing vehicle in 6 months as planned

重庆大学硕士研究生《英语》课程试卷 2014~2015 学年第一学期 硕士生B类 Part I. Reading Comprehension(40 points) Directions: Read the following passages carefully and then select the best answer from the four choices given to answer the questions or to complete the statements that follow each passage. Write your answer on your Answer Sheet. Passage One As a wise man once said, we are all ultimately alone. But an increasing number of Europeans are choosing to be so at an ever earlier age. This isn’t the stuff of gloomy philosophical contemplations, but a fact of Europe’s new economic landscape, embraced by sociologists, real-estate developers and ad executives alike. The shift away from family life to solo lifestyle, observes a French sociologist, is part of the irresistible momentum of individualism over the last century. The communications revolution, the shift from a business culture of stability to one of mobility and the mass entry of women into the workforce have greatly wreaked havoc on Europeans’ private lives. Europe’s new economic climate has largely fostered the trend toward independence. The current generation of home-aloners came of age during Europe’s shift from social democracy to the sharper, more individualistic climate of American style capitalism. Raised in an era of privatization and increased consumer choice, today’s tech-savvy workers have embraced a free market in love as well as economics. Modern Europeans are rich enough to afford to live alone, and temperamentally independent enough to want to do so. Once upon a time, people who lived alone tended to be those on either side of marriage—twenty something professionals or widowed senior citizens. While pensioners, particularly elderly women, make up a large proportion of those living alone, the newest crop of singles are high earners in their 30s and 40s who increasingly view living alone as a lifestyle choice. Living alone was conceived to be negative—dark and cold, while being together suggested warmth and light. But then came along the idea of singles. They were young, beautiful, strong! Now, young people want to live alone. The booming economy means people are working harder than ever. And that doesn’t leave much room for relationships. Pimpi Arroyo, a 35-year-old composer who lives alone in a house in Paris, says he hasn’t got time to get lonely because has too much work. “I have deadlines which would make life with someone else fairly difficult”. Only an Ideal Woman would make him change his lifestyle, he says. Kaufmann, author of a recent book called “The Single Woman and Prince Charming”, thinks this fierce new individualism means that people expect more and more of mates, so relationships don’t last long—if they start at all. Eppendorf, a blond Berliner with a deep tan, teaches grade school in the mornings. In the afternoon she sunbathes or sleeps, resting up for going dancing. Just shy of 50, she says she’d never have wanted to do what her mother did—give up a career to raise a family. Instead, “I’ve always done what I wanted to do: live a self-determined life”. 1.More and more young Europeans remain single because A. they are driven by an overwhelming sense of individualism. B. they have entered the workforce at a much earlier age. C. they have embraced a business culture of stability. D. they are pessimistic about their economic future. 2.What is said about European society in the passage? A. It has fostered the trend towards small families. B. It is getting closer to American-style capitalism. C. It has limited consumer choice despite a free market. D. It is being threatened by irresistible privatization. 3.According to Paragraph 3, the newest group of singles are A. warm and lighthearted. B. on either side of marriage. C. negative and gloomy. D. healthy and wealthy. 4.The author quotes Eppendorf to show that A. some modern women prefer a life of individual freedom. B. the family is no longer the basic unit of society in present-day Europe. C. some professional people have too much work to do to feel lonely. D. Most Europeans conceive living a single life as unacceptable. 5.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

人工智能和发展

人工智能和发展 摘要:人工智能是20世纪计算机科学发展的重大成就,在许多领域有着广泛的应用。论述了人工智能的定义,分析了目前在管理、教育、工程、技术、等领域的应用,总结了人工智能研究现状,分析了其发展方向。关键词:人工智能;计算机科学;发展方向 1 人工智能的定义 人工智能(Artificial Intelligence,AI),是一门综合了计算机科学、生理学、哲学的交叉学科。“人工智能”一词最初是在1956年美国计算机协会组织的达特莫斯(Dartmouth)学会上提出的。自那以后,研究者们发展了众多理论和原理,人工智能的概念也随之扩展。由于智能概念的不确定,人工智能的概念一直没有一个统一的标准。著名的美国斯坦福大学人工智能研究中心尼尔逊教授对人工智能下了这样一个定义“人工智能是关于知识的学科——怎样表示知识以及怎样获得知识并使用知识的科学。”而美国麻省理工学院的温斯顿教授认为“人工智能就是研究如何使计算机去做过去只有人才能做的智能工作。”童天湘在《从“人机大战”到人机共生》中这样定义人工智能:“虽然现在的机器不能思维也没有“直觉的方程式”,但可以把人处理问题的方式编入智能程序,是不能思维的机器也有智能,使机器能做那些需要人的智能才能做的事,也就是人工智能。”诸如此类的定义基本都反映了人工智能学科的基本思想和基本内容。即人工智能是研究人类智能活动的规律,构造具有一定智能的人工系统,研究如何让计算机去完成以往需要人的智力才能胜任的工作,也就是研究如何应用计算机的软硬件来模拟人类某些智能行为的基本理论、方法和技术。 2 人工智能的应用领域 2.1 人工智能在管理及教学系统中的应用人工智能在企业管理中的应用。刘玉然在《谈谈人工智能在企业管理中的应用》一文中提到把人工智能应用于企业管理中,认为要做的工作就是搞清楚人的智能和人工智能的关系,了解人工智能的外延和内涵,搭建人工智能的应用平台,搞好企业智能化软件的开发工作,这样,人工智能就能在企业决策中起到关键的作用。人工智能在智能教学系统中的应用。焦加麟,徐良贤,戴克昌(2003)在总结国际上相关研究成果的基础上,结合其在开发智能多媒体汉德语言教学系统《二十一世纪汉语》的过程中累积的实践经验,介绍了智能教学系统的历史、结构和主要技术,着重讨论了人工智能技术与方法在其中的应用,并指出了当今这个领域上存在的一些问题。 2.2 人工智能专家系统在工程领域的应用人工智能专家系统在医学中的应用。国外最早将人工智能应用于医疗诊断的是MYCIN专家系统。1982年,美国Pittsburgh大学Miller发表了著名的作为内科医生咨询的Internist 2I内科计算机辅助诊断系统的研究成果,1977年改进为Internist 2Ⅱ,经过改进后成为现在的CAU-CEUS,1991年美国哈佛医学院Barnett等开发的DEX-PLAIN,包含有2200种疾病和8000种症状。我国研制基于人工智能的专家系统始于上世纪70年代末,但是发展很快。早期的有北京中医学院研制成“关幼波肝炎医疗专家系统”,它是模拟著名老中医关幼波大夫对肝病诊治的程序。上世纪80年代初,福建中医学院与福建计算机中心研制的林如高骨伤计算机诊疗系统。其他如厦门大学、重庆大学、河南医科大学、长春大学等高等院校和其他研究机构开发了基于人工智能的医学计算机专家系统,并成功应用于临床。人工智能在矿业中的应用。与矿业有关的第一个人工智能专家系统是1978年美国斯坦福国际研究所的矿藏勘探和评价专家系统PROSPECTOR,用于勘探评价、

But those programs -though some remain popular -increasingly occupy fringe times slots on foreign networks. Instead, a growing number of shows produced by local broadcasters are on the air at the best times. The shift counters longstanding assumptions that TV shows produced in the United States would continue to overshadow locally produced shows from Singapore to Sicily. The changes are coming at a time when the influence of the United States on international affairs has annoyed friends and foes alike, and some people are expressing relief that at least on television American culture is no longer quite the force it once was. “There has always been a concern that the image of the world would be shaped too much by American culture,” said Dr. Jo Groebek, director general of the European Institu te for the Media, a non-profit group. Given the choice, he adds, foreign viewers often prefer homegrown shows that better reflect local tastes, cultures and historical events. Unlike in the United States, commercial broadcasting in most regions of the world -including Asia, Europe, and a lesser extent Latin America, which has a long history of commercial TV -is a relatively recent development. A majority of broadcasters in many countries were either state-owned or state-subsidized for much of the last century. Governments began to relax their control in the 1980’s by privatizing national broadcasters and granting licenses to dozens of new commercial networks. The rise of cable and satellite pay-television increased the spectrum of channels. Relatively inexperienced and often financed on a shoestring, these new commercial stations needed hours of programming fast. The cheapest and easiest way to fill airtime was to buy shows from American studios, and the bidding wars for popular shows were fierce. The big American studios took advantage of that demand by raising prices and forcing foreign broadcasters to buy less popular programs if they wanted access to the best-selling shows and movies. “The studio priced themselves out of prime time,” said Harry Evans Sloan, chairman of SBS Broadcasting, a Pan-European broadcaster. Mr. Sloan estimates that over the last decade, the price of American programs has increased fivefold even as the international ratings for these shows have declined. American broadcasters are still the biggest buyers of American-made television shows, accounting for 90% of the $25 billion in 2001 sales. But international sales which totaled $2.5 billion last year often make the difference between a profit and a loss on show. As the pace of foreign sales slows -the market is now growing at 5% a year, down from the double-digit growth of the 1990’s -studio executives are rethinking production costs. 6. Which of the following best characterizes the image embodied in American shows? A. Self-contradictory B. Prejudice-free C. Culture-loaded D. Audience-targeted 7. The intervention of governments in the 1980’s resulted in __________ . A. the patenting of domination shows and movies B. the emergence of new commercial networks C. the promotion of cable and satellite pay-television D. the intense competition coming from the outside 8. The phrase “on a shoestring” (Para. 6) most probably means __________. A. in need of capital B. after a fashion C. on second thoughts D. in the interests of themselves 9. The main reason why American dramas and sitcoms are driven out of prime time is that ____. A. they lose competitiveness B. they are not market-oriented C. they are too much priced D. they fall short of audience expectations 10. American studio producers will give thought to production costs __________. A. if they have no access to popular shows B. because their endeavors come to no avail C. since bidding wars are no longer fierce D. as international sales pace slows down Passage Three How shops can exploit people's herd mentality to increase sales 1. A TRIP to the supermarket may not seem like an exercise in psychological warfare—but it is. Shopkeepers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they had intended. Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors. Now researchers are investigating how “swarm intelligence” (th at is,how ants,bees or any social animal,including humans,behave in a crowd) can be used to influence what people buy. 2. At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome,Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani,a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology,described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon. Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted: for instance,by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store,forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them. Mr Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes,also of the Florida Institute of Technology, set out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on the herd instinct. The idea is that, if a certain product is seen to be popular, shoppers are likely to choose it too. The challenge is to keep customers informed about what others are buying. 3. Enter smart-cart technology. In Mr Usmani's supermarket every product has a radio frequency identification tag, a sort of barcode that uses radio waves to transmit information,and every trolley has a scanner that reads this information and relays it to a central computer. As a customer walks past a shelf of goods, a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product. If the number is high, he is more likely to select it too.
