To improve the search efficiency of robotic grasping detection, this paper presents a novel search algorithm based on the image pyramid. It significantly reduces the search space for grasping position detection using the coarse-to-fine strategy. The proposed method searches the positions from the top layer of the pyramid, and initializes the search area at the next layer. The sparse automatic encoder is employed to construct the model which is used to evaluate the grasp quality. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed search algorithm can improve efficiency of the robotic grasping detection with the comparative performance on the grasp quality.

Componentization is an important method to improve the reusability of robot software and reduce the difficulty of system design. In this paper, we propose a component based design framework for robot software architecture. First, the robot system is functionally decomposed into reusable components. On this basis, the static model and run-time model of component are established, and a component interface definition language based on the model is designed. Second, a lightweight middleware is proposed according to the communication mode between robot components, and a component development tool and a visual component assembly environment based on the middleware are designed to facilitate the developers. Finally, an application based on the framework is introduced to verify the validation of the design framework.

In this paper, the system of Chinese chess robot is demonstrated, and it presents the latest development of artificial intelligence. The robot could play Chinese chess with human autonomously - with ¿eyes¿ it can recognize the pieces on the chessboard and move them with its mechanical arm. Furthermore, it has high intelligence which could approach the ¿master¿ level. The paper will be organized as follows: Firstly, the general structure and seven subsystems will be introduced briefly; then some key techniques used in Chinese chess gaming system will be discussed.

To facilitate the development of intelligent robots, a virtual entity based rapid prototype developing framework (VE-RPDF) is proposed. It aims at helping design intelligent robots through the following steps: rapidly setting up a robot prototype, coding for the control strategy and algorithm, and optimizing the robot design by testing it on both virtual entities and real robots. With VE-RPDF, two types of robots, including wheeled robot and humanoid robot, are developed, and the latter one is introduced as a case to verify the validation of VE-RPDF.
