3. Communication man-machine interface for assistance robot

   The theme of this dissertation is the development of specialized communication interface designed for man-machine communication. Such interface is a critical part especially in the area of assistance robots should communicate with people in hospital or home environment. Due to the inability to use today's classic interface (keyboard, mouse) in these cases, it is a major emphasis in these applications focus primarily on intuitive control and use of the latest technologies. Essence of this dissertation will be creation of an intuitive communication interface, using methods of processing voice commands or face detection. Processing of all information will be done in real time to ensure adequate response during communication. Feedback system will run through voice synthesis to allow the faithful imitation of natural dialogue.

10. Modification of automatic control with low depreciation of controlled machine parts system

    The purpose of this work is the theoretical contribution for automatic control tasks where the depreciation and various types of stress on certain parts is a serious problem. Depreciation relates mainly to mechanical parts in the servo systems, which for a long time in operation have reduced the quality of service features, shorter life and are a source of unreliability. It is expected a detailed analysis of the problem, including the draft of criteria for classification different kinds of unwanted stress on different technological parts in various implementation of controlled systems. The focus of work should be a draft of control algorithms, which showed a lower depreciation of equipment involved, compared to the standard procedure. The proposed solution is desirable to verify and evaluate preferably with simulations for selected cases of applications.

11. Navigation system for inner spaces of buildings

    The theme of this dissertation is the development of navigation system designed for autonomous mobile robots, which is suitable for building interiors. The interior of buildings cannot be equipped by standardized systems because the navigation of mobile robots in this environment is challenging. Great demands are made not only on the robot's sensory equipment, but also on methods of processing the information obtained. Essence of this dissertation will be design and implementation of hardware platforms, which can easily equip building interiors with facilities for the movement of an autonomous robot. The work will also solve a separate hardware module that will handle the navigation information and communicate with the environment via standard communication interfaces. The navigation system can also be subsequently connected to the existing technology, such as RFID or WiFi. These elements are for navigation in buildings used only in very limited cases, despite their frequent use for other purposes.

12. Real-time Motion Planning of Service Robots and Manipulators in Dynamic Environment

    Real-time motion planning has several robotics and manipulators applications. A basic motion planning problem is to produce a continuous motion that connects a start configuration S and a goal configuration G, while avoiding collision with known obstacles. The robot and obstacle geometry is described in a 2D or 3D workspace, while the motion is represented as a path in (possibly higher-dimensional) configuration space. The goals are theoretical and practical design of advanced Motion planning algorithms and the real time realization.
