The document was compiled with the LATEX 2" class AMdiss (based on the KOMA-Script class scrreprt). AMdiss is part of the AMclasses bundle that was developed by the author for writing term papers, Diploma theses and dissertations at the Institute of Applied Mechanics, Technische Universität München. Photographs and CAD screenshots were processed and enhanced with THE GIMP. Most vector graphics were drawn with CorelDraw X3, exported as Encapsulated PostScript, and edited with psfrag to obtain high-quality labeling. Some smaller and text-heavy graphics (flowcharts, etc.), as well as diagrams were created using PSTricks. The plot raw data were preprocessed with Matlab. In order to use the PostScript- based LATEX packages with pdfLATEX, a toolchain based on pst-pdf and Ghostscript was used.

The research was conducted within the project which is developing a humanoid robot Marko that represents assistive apparatus in the physical therapy for children with cerebral palsy.There are two basic ways for the neck realization of the robots. The first is based on low backlash mechanisms that have high stiffness and the second one based on the viscoelastic elements having variable flexibility. We suggest low backlash differential gear mechanism that requires small actuators. Based on the kinematic-dynamic requirements a dynamic model of the robots upper body is formed. Dynamic simulation for several positions of the robot was performed and the driving torques of neck mechanism are determined.Realized neck has 2 DOFs and enables movements in the direction of flexion-extension 100°, rotation ±90° and the combination of these two movements. It consists of a differential mechanism with three spiral bevel gears of which the two are driving and are identical, and the third one which is driven gear to which the robot head is attached. Power transmission and motion from the actuators to the input links of the differential mechanism is realized with two parallel placed gear mechanisms that are identical.Neck mechanism has high carrying capacity and reliability, high efficiency, low backlash that provide high positioning accuracy and repeatability of movements, compact design and small mass and dimensions.

The proposed framework generates whole-body motion using the complete robot dy- namics in the task space satisfying contact constraints. This approach is known as operational- space inverse-dynamics control. The specification of the movements is done through objectives in the task space, and the high redundancy of the system is handled with a prioritized stack of tasks where lower priority tasks are only achieved if they do not interfere with higher priority ones.

    Evolving Controllers for High-Level Applications on a Service Robot: a Case Study with Exhibition Visitor Flow Control

    Noname manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) Evolving Controllers for High-Level Applications on a Service Robot: A Case Study with Exhibition Visitor Flow Control Alex Fukunaga · Hideru Hiruma · Kazuki Komiya · Hitoshi Iba the date of receipt and acceptance should be inserted later Abstract We investigate the application of simulation-based genetic programming to evolve controllers that perform high-level tasks on a service robot. As a case study, we synthesize a controller for a guide robot that manages the visitor traffic flow in an exhibition space in order to maximize the enjoyment of the visitors. We used genetic programming in a low-fidelity simulation to evolve a controller for this task, which was then transferred to a service robot. An experimental evaluation of the evolved controller in both simulation and on the actual service robot shows that it performs well compared to hand-coded heuristics, and performs comparably to a human operator. 1 Introduction Evolutionary robotics (ER) is a class of approaches that use genetic and evolu- tionary computation methods in order to automatically synthesize controllers for autonomous robots. Early work started with evolution and testing of controllers in simulation [1,17,9]. This was followed by the introduction of embodied evolution, where the evolution was performed on real robots [25,21], as well as controllers which were evolved in simulation and transferred to real robots [25]. Nelson, Bar- low, and Doitsidis present a recent, comprehensive review of previous work in evolutionary robotics [24]. Previous work on ER involving mobile robots has focused on relatively low-level tasks, such as locomotion/gait generation, navigation (including object avoidance), A.

    Systems Overview of Ono a DIY Reproducible Open Source Social Robot

    Systems Overview of Ono A DIY Reproducible Open Source Social Robot Cesar Vandevelde1, Jelle Saldien1, Maria-Cristina Ciocci and Bram Vanderborght2 1 Ghent University, Dept. of Industrial Systems and Product Design, Campus Kortrijk, Belgium {cesar.vandevelde, jelle.saldien, maria-cristina.ciocci}@ugent.be 2Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Brussels, Belgium [email protected] Abstract. One of the major obstacles in the study of HRI (human-robot interac- tion) with social robots is the lack of multiple identical robots that allow testing with large user groups. Often, the price of these robots prohibits using more than a handful. A lot of the commercial robots do not possess all the necessary features to perform specific HRI experiments and due to the closed nature of the platform, large modifications are nearly impossible. While open source social robots do exist, they often use high-end components and expensive manufactur- ing techniques, making them unsuitable for easy reproduction. To address this problem, a new social robotics platform, named Ono, was developed. The de- sign is based on the DIY mindset of the maker movement, using off-the-shelf components and more accessible rapid prototyping and manufacturing tech- niques. The modular structure of the robot makes it easy to adapt to the needs of the experiment and by embracing the open source mentality, the robot can be easily reproduced or further developed by a community of users. The low cost, open nature and DIY friendliness of the robot make it an ideal candidate for HRI studies that require a large user group.
