  • Development of a Series Elastic Actuator and a Distributed Computational Platform for Robotics
    Development of a Series Elastic Actuator and a Distributed Computational Platform for Robotics Gonçalo Patrício Luís Thesis to obtain the Master of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering Supervisor: Prof. Jorge Manuel Mateus Martins Examination Committee Chairperson: Prof. João Rogério Caldas Pinto Supervisor: Prof. Jorge Manuel Mateus Martins Member of the Committee: Prof. Carlos Baptista Cardeira November 2015 i ii To my Parents iii iv Acknowledgments I would like to thank Professor Jorge Martins for believing in my ideas on building a new computational platform from scratch in detriment of using the old platform. The first task he gave me was to play arround with the old platform until I felt confortable with it, not all teachers believe in loosing time on learning things that are supposed to work and should only be used instead of studied. In the end the freedom he gave me turned into finding gross mistakes in the old platform and ultimately building a new, more capable one. I would like to thank Professor Carlos Cardeira for clearing some questions I had about electronics regarding the circuit board for voltage conversion. I would also like to thank Professor Paulo Oliveira and Professor Alexandra Moutinho for showing me the power and beauty of control systems engineering in the lecture I had with them on that topic. Their practical and clear explanations ultimately made me choose Systems as my Masters area, a choice I couldn’t be happier about. I am also deeply grateful to all the other teachers on the systems department and Eng. Camilo for creating and maintaining a friendly environment during classes and at the laboratory.

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.

  • Evolution of Humanoid Robot and Contribution of Various Countries in Advancing the Research and Development of the Platform Md
    International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems 2010 Oct. 27-30, 2010 in KINTEX, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Evolution of Humanoid Robot and Contribution of Various Countries in Advancing the Research and Development of the Platform Md. Akhtaruzzaman1 and A. A. Shafie2 1, 2 Department of Mechatronics Engineering, International Islamic University Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 1(Tel : +60-196192814; E-mail: [email protected]) 2 (Tel : +60-192351007; E-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: A human like autonomous robot which is capable to adapt itself with the changing of its environment and continue to reach its goal is considered as Humanoid Robot. These characteristics differs the Android from the other kind of robots. In recent years there has been much progress in the development of Humanoid and still there are a lot of scopes in this field. A number of research groups are interested in this area and trying to design and develop a various platforms of Humanoid based on mechanical and biological concept. Many researchers focus on the designing of lower torso to make the Robot navigating as like as a normal human being do. Designing the lower torso which includes west, hip, knee, ankle and toe, is the more complex and more challenging task. Upper torso design is another complex but interesting task that includes the design of arms and neck. Analysis of walking gait, optimal control of multiple motors or other actuators, controlling the Degree of Freedom (DOF), adaptability control and intelligence are also the challenging tasks to make a Humanoid to behave like a human. Basically research on this field combines a variety of disciplines which make it more thought-provoking area in Mechatronics Engineering.

  • Algorithms and Graphic Interface Design to Control and Teach a Humanoid Robot Through Human Imitation
    Algorithms and Graphic Interface Design to Control and Teach a Humanoid Robot Through Human Imitation Marc Rosanes Siscart Advisor: Dr. Guillem Alenyà Supervision: Dr. Montserrat Ginés Master Thesis Institut de Robòtica i Informàtica Industrial Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya April, 2011 Abstract Given that human-like robots are finding their place in different areas of our world, research is being carried out in order to improve human-robot interaction. Humanoid robots not only require a human appearance but also require human-like movements. Along these lines we present this project which tries to address the question of human to robot arm mapping with the objective to control in real time and to teach a robot by imitation. For the technical implementation we have worked with a SR3000 ToF camera to sense the human movements which allows us to perform a markerless arm tracking based on depth information. The robot used is a Robotis Bioloid; still, the software has been designed to be adapted with few modifications to other robots having similar arm structures. Aknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor Guillem Aleny`afor the supervision of this project and for giving me the opportunity to work at the Institut of Robotics (IRI) from the CSIC. I would also like to thank Montserrat Gin´es to accept being the liaison with the university at ETSETB, and for her help in the bureaucratic tasks. I would like to thank Pol Mons´o, Sergi Foix and Sergi Hernandez for their help during the first steps of my project; Gerard Mauri for his help to record the videos of Bioloid; Eduard Nus for helping me with LaTex; Albane Delos for her advices; and Moha Marrawi and Edgar Sim´o for the talks and the time shared at IRI.

  • Thymio: a Holistic Approach to Designing Accessible Educational Robots
    Thymio: a holistic approach to designing accessible educational robots THÈSE NO 6557 (2015) PRÉSENTÉE LE 17 AVRIL 2015 À LA FACULTÉ DES SCIENCES ET TECHNIQUES DE L'INGÉNIEUR LABORATOIRE DE SYSTÈMES ROBOTIQUES PROGRAMME DOCTORAL EN SYSTÈMES DE PRODUCTION ET ROBOTIQUE ÉCOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FÉDÉRALE DE LAUSANNE POUR L'OBTENTION DU GRADE DE DOCTEUR ÈS SCIENCES PAR Fanny RIEDO acceptée sur proposition du jury: Prof. J. Paik, présidente du jury Prof. F. Mondada, Prof. P. Dillenbourg, directeurs de thèse Dr G. Caprari, rapporteur Prof. A. Ijspeert, rapporteur Dr P. Salvini, rapporteur Suisse 2015 A mon papa François et mon oncle Jean-Pierre Abstract Technology is now an important part of our lives. We often see robots cited as the future of education, and reports of their imminent entrance in schools. New projects create buzz in the media and online, but when we look at the actual situation, very few robots are currently used in education, and most of the time, the platform used is the Lego Mindstorms. Why so little diversity? What do robot actually bring to the learning experience? How can we design good educational robots? Hopes are that they bring additional motivation to pupils. Since the use of robots is fun, the learning is supposed to become easier. Robot projects and activities are also expected to foster thinking skills, collaboration, and creative spirit. Finally, there is a need to educate people on technology for two reasons. The first is to break the “black box” image they have of technology, and the second is to encourage them into technical careers. Thanks to the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research Robotics (NCCR Robotics), we could develop some innovative concepts in educational robotics, and implement one such pedagogical tool.
