Cybernetic automata: An approach for the realization of economical cognition for multi-robot systems (2009-05-15)The multi-agent robotics paradigm has attracted much attention due to the variety of pertinent applications that are well-served by the use of a multiplicity of agents (including space robotics, search and rescue, and ...
-
(2021-07-28)This thesis offers an overview of tensegrity systems and the historical and novel research and development of swimming robotics. A robotic dolphin (with two tail designs) was designed and manufactured using a tensegrity ...
-
(2018-07-27)Tensegrity, a word coined by Buckminster Fuller in the 1960s, is a portmanteau of words tension and integrity. A tensegrity structure is a prestressable network of bars and strings that can be acted by external forces at ...
-
(2019-05-24)This research explored the design and feasibility of a robotic plasma medicine device intended for cancer treatment inside of the human body, potentially enabling the delivery of cold atmospheric plasma in a safe, controllable, ...
-
(2022-04-14)Additive manufacturing (AM) and cable-suspended robots (CSRs) are two areas of technology that evolved rapidly in the last decades. This dissertation explores combining the two ideas to create a cable-suspended robot for ...
-
(1986)In present day American industry the majority of robotic systems being implemented are servo robots. Non-Servo or Pick-N-Place robots have many qualities suitable for industry, however, are usually considered not flexible ...
-
Development of a Testbed for Laboratory Validation of Navigation, Estimation, and Sensing Algorithms (2021-01-22)Laboratory validation is an important step in the development of new navigation and estimation algorithms. The laboratory validation process often requires the simulation and/or emulation of vehicles, sensors, and operational ...
-
(2023-04-19)Federated learning aims to solve a global optimization problem by collectively learning from a group of clients without sharing data they possess. In offline reinforcement learning, an agent aims to learn an optimal policy ...
-
(2018-11-29)We present a framework for disassembly sequence planning. This framework is versatile, allowing different types of search schemes (exhaustive vs. preemptive), various part separation techniques, and the ability to group ...
-
This paper summarizes hardware and software changes made to the latest version of the Survivor Buddy, specifically regarding the addition of motor burnout prevention systems and the implementation of behavior tracking and ...
-
(2012-07-16)Recently, The Land, Air and Space Robotics (LASR) Laboratory has demonstrated a state-of-the-art proximity operations test bed that will revolutionize the concept of portable space systems simulation. The Holonomic ...
-
(2016-08-04)Every motion made by a moving object is either planned implicitly, e.g., human natural movement from one point to another, or explicitly, e.g., pre-planned information about where a robot should move in a room to effectively ...
-
(2017-04-28)Multirotors could be used to autonomously perform tasks in search-and-rescue, reconnaissance, or infrastructure-monitoring applications. In these environments, the vehicle may have limited or degraded GPS access. Researchers ...
-
(2011-02-22)At first glance, robots and proteins have little in common. Robots are commonly thought of as tools that perform tasks such as vacuuming the floor, while proteins play essential roles in many biochemical processes. However, ...
-
(2011-04-25)This thesis presents a system for shared autonomy, where a search and rescue robot uses training data to create a "maintain balance" reflex to enable a robot to autonomously stop, back up, or change configuration to avoid ...
-
This project focuses on planning the motion for high degree of freedom manipulator robots under dynamic (or temporal) constraints. Manipulator robots are widely used in industry and are important because they can do jobs ...
-
(1997)Automation of the design and manufacturing process of complex mechanical systems could save countless man-hours and reduce costs. The development of practical motion planning algorithms could aid this automation by increasing ...
