2. 1. Robotic Companionship : The Making of Anthropomatic Kitchen Robots in Queer Feminist Technoscience Perspective

   Author : Pat Treusch; Sabine Hark; Cecilia Åsberg; Lissa Holloway-Attaway; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Geschlecht; sozio-technische Imagination; menschenähnliche Roboter; Anthropomatik; Robot Companions; Küchen-Robotik; Technoscience Studies; feministische Posthumanwissenschaften; Apparate körperlicher Produktion; feministischer Materialismus; Mensch-Maschine-Verhältnisse; Genus; sociotekniska föreställningar; människolika robotar; robotsällskap; köksrobotar; technovetenskap; feministisk posthumaniora; kroppsproduktionsapparat; feministisk materialism; människa-maskin relationer;

   Abstract : Specific machines furnish the contemporary socio-technical imaginary: ‘Robot companions’ that supposedly herald the age of robots, an age that is signified by the realization of robot technologies that are taking over labor from humans in every sphere of ‘everyday human lives’. How do we want these robot companions to work and look and how do we want to live with these machines?  This thesis explores the engineering of relating humans and machines in the specific context of contemporary robotics from a queer feminist technoscience perspective.

4. 2. Risk Aware Path Planning and Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance towards Enabling Safe Robotic Missions

   Author : Samuel Karlsson; George Nikolakopoulos; Georgia Chalvatzaki; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Robotic; Path planning; Obstacle avoidanc; Robotic missions; licenti thesis; Robotics and Artificial Intelligence; Robotik och artificiell intelligens;

   Abstract : This compilation thesis presents two main contributions in path planning and obstacle avoidance, as well as an integration of the proposed modules with other frameworks to enable resilient robotic missions in complex environments.In general, through different types of robotic missions it is important to have a collision tolerant and reliable system, both regarding potential risks from collisions with dynamic and static obstacles, but also to secure the overall mission success.

6. 4. Towards Aerial Robotic Workers

   Author : Emil Fresk; Dimos Dimarogonas; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aerial Robotic Worker; UAV; Multirotor; Quadrotor; Estimation; Quaternion; Inertial Navigation; Reglerteknik; Control Engineering;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to advance the control and estimation schemes for multirotors, and more specifically the Aerial Robotic Worker, in order to progress towards the necessary control and estimation performance for robust control, cooperation and collaboration. Towards this envisioned aim, this Licentiate thesis will present the following main research contributions: a) a singularity-free attitude controller for the attitude problem has been established, that does not have the inherent drawbacks of Euler angle or Direction Cosine Matrix based approaches, b) a generalized estimation scheme for attitude, position and parameter estimation will be presented that has the merit of low computational footprint, while it is robust towards magnetic disturbances and able to identify key parameters in the model of an Aerial Robotic Worker, c) an method for estimating the induced vibration frequencies on the multirotor’s frame, and the respective amplitudes, that relies on notch filtering for attenuating the induced vibrations, and d) a theoretical establishment, as well as an experimental development and evaluation of a variable pitch propeller model to add additional degrees of freedom and increase the robustness of an Aerial Robotic Worker.

7. 5. Robotic Surgery for Endometrial Cancer

   Author : Anna Lindfors; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; endometrial cancer; robotic surgery; elderly; obesity; health-related quality of life;

   Abstract : Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecological malignancy. A large proportion of patients present with the risk factors high age and obesity, which puts them at increased risk when undergoing surgery. READ MORE
