This paper studies existing direct transcription methods for trajectory optimization for robot motion planning. These methods have demonstrated to be favorable for planning dynamically feasible motions for high dimensional robots with complex dynamics. How ...
Abstract Mathematical modeling and simulation of a head stabilization platform. The stabilization platform is capable of moving on the pitch degree of freedom. The platform is modeled in two different approaches; considering only the mass of the platform ( ...
Typical operating conditions for mobile sensor systems, and in particular mobile robots, exhibit a wide range of mechanical disturbances due their ego-motion. Sensor systems mounted on these mobile platforms often suffer to varying degrees from these distu ...
Cy-mag3D is a miniature climbing robot with advanced mobility and magnetic adhesion. It is very compact: a cylindrical shape with 28 mm of diameter and 62 mm of width. Its design is very simple: two wheels, hence two degrees of freedom, and an advanced mag ...
Soft robotics may provide many advantages compared to traditional robotics approaches based on rigid materials, such as intrinsically safe physical human-robot interaction, efficient/stable locomotion, adaptive morphology, etc. The objective of this study ...
Most of the conventional legged robots are based on rigid body parts connected by high-torque actuators and a sophisticated control scheme to achieve stable running locomotion. The energy-efficiency of such robots is roughly 10-100 times lower than that of ...
This diploma project’s goal was to develop a low-cost 3 DOF position sensor of small dimension that permits to find the position and orientation of the actuated object and thus, enable a closed loop control in 3 DOF. The range in X and Y should be at least ...
A mobile microrobot is defined as a robot with a size ranging from 1 in3 down to 100 µm3 and a motion range of at least several times the robot's length. Mobile microrobots have a great potential for a wide range of mid-term and long-term applications such ...
In the high-precision industry, most operations require the use of robots able to accomplish highly accurate and repeatable motions. In order to meet the desired level of absolute accuracy, one has to limit or even suppress the effects of different sources ...
Actuation systems for few cubic millimeter sized mobile autonomous robots are subject to severe constraints in terms of e.g. size, fabrication or power consumption. Also the onboard electronics has limited performance due to both size and power restriction ...
