2. 1. The Useworthiness of Robots for People with Physical Disabilities

   Author : Håkan Eftring; Certec - Rehabiliteringsteknik och Design; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Page-turning; End-effector; RAID; Manus; Independence; Needs Analysis; Simplified Robot Use; Automatic Grasping; Case Studies.; Ethics; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ; rehabilitation; revalidation; kinesitherapy; Physical medicine; Rehabilitation Robotics; Robots; Physical Disabilities; Useworthiness; Usability;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with robotics and the new possibilities it offers people with physical disabilities. I focus on the user and the use of the technology and, in particular, on what makes robotic aids worth using - useworthiness as distinguished from usability. READ MORE

4. 2. Sensor Fusion and Control Applied to Industrial Manipulators

   Author : Patrik Axelsson; Mikael Norrlöf; Fredrik Gustafsson; Paolo Rocco; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial Robots; Sensor Fusion; Iterative Learning Control; H-infinity Controller; Controllability; Extended Kalman Filter; Particle Filter; Expectation Maximisation; Continuous-time Filtering; Norm-optimal ILC;

   Abstract : One of the main tasks for an industrial robot is to move the end-effector in a predefined path with a specified velocity and acceleration. Different applications have different requirements of the performance. READ MORE

5. 3. On Sensor Fusion Applied to Industrial Manipulators

   Author : Patrik Axelsson; Mikael Norrlöf; Fredrik Gustafsson; Anders Robertsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : One of the main tasks for an industrial robot is to move the end-effector in a predefined path with a specified velocity and acceleration. Different applications have different requirements of the performance. For some applications it is essential that the tracking error is extremely low, whereas other applications require a time optimal tracking. READ MORE

6. 4. Cooperative and Interaction Control for Underwater Robotic Vehicles

   Author : Shahab Heshmati-Alamdari; Kostas J. Kyriakopoulos; National Technical University of Athens School of Mechanical Engineering Control Systems Lab; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Marine robotics; Robotics; Underwater Vehicle Manipulator Systems; Cooperative manipulations; Visual servoing; Nonlinear Model Predictive Control; Autonomous Underwater Vehicles; Industrial Information and Control Systems; Industriella informations- och styrsystem; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : In this dissertation we address the problem of robust control for underwater robotic vehicles under resource constraints and inspired by practical applications in the field of marine robotics. By the term “resource constraints” we refer to systems with constraints on communication, sensing and energy resources. READ MORE

7. 5. Adaptation and Learning for Manipulators and Machining

   Author : Olof Sörnmo; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : This thesis presents methods for improving the accuracy and efficiency of tasks performed using different kinds of industrial manipulators, with a focus on the application of machining. Industrial robots offer a flexible and cost-efficient alternative to machine tools for machining, but cannot achieve as high accuracy out of the box. READ MORE
