  2. 1. Design Optimization in Industrial Robotics : Methods and Algorithms for Drive Train Design

    Author : Marcus Pettersson; Johan Ölvander (Andersson); Torgny Brogårdh; Jorge Angeles; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Robot manufacturers; industrial robot; robot design; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik;

    Abstract : Robot manufacturers, like many other manufacturers, are experiencing increasing competition in a global market where one way to confront the challenge is by making the development process more efficient. One way to speed up the time to market for new products is to take advantage of design optimization based on simulation models. READ MORE

  4. 2. Tactile Grasping for Domestic Service Robots : Simulations, Experiments and Hand Design

    Author : Johan Tegin; Jan Wikander; Rüdinger Dillman; KTH; []
    Keywords : Manipulators; Simulation; Robot tactile systems; Modeling; Grasping; Tactile sensors; Mechanical engineering; Maskinteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents methods and tools for robotic grasping. The application in mind is service robots for a home environment, although the work also has applications in other areas. Service robots must be capable of manipulation, i.e. READ MORE

  5. 3. Quadruped robot control and variable leg transmissions

    Author : Johan Ingvast; Jan Wikander; Harry Dankowicz; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; walking robot; quadruped; walking; crawl; trot; passively variable transmission; PVT; variable transmission; continuously variable transmission; velocity ratio; torque ratio; Other engineering mechanics; Övrig teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : The research presented in this thesis regards walking of quadruped robots, and particularly the walking of the Warp1 robot. The motivation for the robot is to provide a platform for autonomous walking in rough terrain. The thesis contains six papers ranging from development tools to actuation of robot legs. READ MORE

  6. 4. From Ants to Service Robots : an Exploration in Stigmergy-Based Navigation Algorithms

    Author : Ali Abdul Khaliq; Alessandro Saffiotti; Federico Pecora; Andrea Omicini; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stigmergy; Minimalistic Robots; Mobile robot navigation; RFID technology; Multi-robot system; Path planning; Localization; Map building;

    Abstract : Navigation is a core functionality of mobile robots. To navigate autonomously, a mobile robot typically relies on internal maps, self-localization, and path planning. Reliable navigation usually comes at the cost of expensive sensors and often requires significant computational overhead. READ MORE
