  2. 1. Robot Sound in Interaction : Analyzing and Designing Sound for Human-Robot Coordination

    Author : Hannah Pelikan; Leelo Keevallik; Mathias Broth; Christian Licoppe; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Conversation analysis; Ethnomethodology; Human-robot interaction; Interaction design; Multimodality; Non-lexical sounds; Robot sound; Video analysis; Etnometodologi; Icke-lexikala ljud; Interaktionsanalys; Interaktionsdesign; Multimodalitet; Människa-robotinteraktion; Robotljud; Videoanalys;

    Abstract : Robots naturally emit sound, but we still know little about how sound can serve as an interface that makes a robot’s behavior explainable to humans. This dissertation draws on insights about human practices for coordinating bodily activities through sound, investigating how they could inform robot design. READ MORE

  4. 2. Energy efficient multi-robot coordination

    Author : Oskar Wigström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; scheduling; optimization; hybrid systems; multi-robot systems; energy minimization;

    Abstract : When multiple systems work in the same physical environment, it is important to ensure that no collisions occur. This thesis is focused on the centralized offline coordination of such collaborating systems, with the condition that the spatial path each system travels along is known before hand. READ MORE

  5. 3. Coordination, Consensus and Communication in Multi-robot Control Systems

    Author : Alberto Speranzon; Karl Henrik Johansson; George J. Pappas; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Multi-robot Coordination; Intelligent Control; Control under Communication Constraints; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

    Abstract : Analysis, design and implementation of cooperative control strategies for multi-robot systems under communication constraints is the topic of this thesis. Motivated by a rapidly growing number of applications with networked robots and other vehicles, fundamental limits on the achievable collaborative behavior are studied for large teams of autonomous agents.

  6. 4. Collision-free path coordination and cycle time optimization of industrial robot cells

    Author : Domenico Spensieri; Stiftelsen Fraunhofer-Chalmers Centrum för Industrimatematik (FCC); []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cycle time optimization; multi-robot collision avoidance; production planning; multi-robot routing and coordination;

    Abstract : In industry, short ramp-up times, product quality, product customization and high production rates are among the main drivers of technological progress. This is especially true for automotive manufacturers whose market is very competitive, constantly pushing for new solutions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Formations and Obstacle Avoidance in Mobile Robot Control

    Author : Petter Ögren; KTH; []
    Keywords : Mobile Robots; Robot Control; Obstacle Avoidance; Multi-robot system; Formation Control; Navigation Function; Lyapunov Function; Model Predictive Control; Receding Horizon Control; Gradient Climbing; Gradient Estimation.;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four independent papers concerningthe control of mobile robots in the context of obstacleavoidance and formation keeping. The first paper describes a new theoreticallyv erifiableapproach to obstacle avoidance. READ MORE
