  4. Jacky Baltes and Robin Otte. A Fuzzy Logic Controller for Car-Like Mobile Robots. In Prcoeedings of the International Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation, Monterey, CA, pages 89-94, November 1999. IEEE.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes a fuzzy logic controller for car-like mobile robots. It also introduces a simple heuristic that helps a designer in the specification of fuzzy input and output sets. The design of fuzzy rules follows intuitively from the design of the fuzzy input sets. In practical tests, this Fuzzy Logic controller resulted in greatly reduced errors and also resulted in a control law with 75\% less control work than a traditional sliding mode controller.
    Annotation:
    Description of the fuzzy logic controller for our toy cars.

  5. XinKe Lin and Jacky Baltes. Micro-Controller Board to Support Intelligent Control of Car-Like Mobile Robots. In Proceedings of ENZCON-99, Auckland, New Zealand, November 1999.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes the design and implementation of an embedded system for the low level control of autonomous mobile robots. The micro controller board provides more accurate speed and direction control, more reliable digital communication, and facilities for additional sensors and actuators. The velocity control is implemented by a one bit D-A converter using pulse width modulation. The data rate of the digital communication is limited to five Bytes/sec., which is sufficient for simple navigation tasks.

  7. Weidong Xu and Jacky Baltes. Parallel Port for Interface for the Mentor Robot Arm. In Proceedings of ENZCON-99, Auckland, New Zealand, November 1999.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes the design of an interface board which by emulating the bus of some popular home computers can control legacy hardware through a generic parallel port interface and serial interface. In particular, the board is currently being used to control two Mentor robot arms from a PC. We also developed firmware and a device driver for the Linux operating system.
