Advancing Robotic Grasp Planning using Human Heuristics for Grasp Similarity

Creator:

Dixit, Saurabh Milind

Abstract:

This thesis explores the use of human kinesthetic input to advance robotic grasp planning. It specifically focuses on identification of human heuristics of grasp similarity by extensive human-subject experiments. This heuristic is then utilized to develop a robust metric for identifying similar robotic grasps. The central hypothesis of this work...

Masters Thesis
Analyzing Human Gaze Patterns During Grasping Tasks To Advance Robotic Grasping

Creator:

Allani, Sai Krishna

Abstract:

There is a strong interest in the robotics community in learning how humans grasp and manipulate objects, partly because robots need to operate in human environments and partly because humans are currently much better in physical interaction tasks than robots. This thesis seeks to identify the human heuristics for grasping...

D₊₊ : Structural Credit Assignment in Tightly Coupled Multiagent Domains

Creator:

Rahmattalabi, Aida

Abstract:

Autonomous multiagent teams can be used in complex exploration tasks to both expedite the exploration and improve the efficiency. However, use of multiagent systems presents additional challenges. Specifically, in domains where the agents' actions are tightly coupled, coordinating multiple agents to achieve cooperative behavior at the group level is difficult....

Design and Development of a Salticid Inspired Jumping Robot

Creator:

Tachella, Ramsey

Abstract:

The ability to jump allows small robots to traverse rough terrain, clear large obstacles, and quickly reach elevated locations. These abilities have applications in a variety of areas such as, search and rescue, environmental monitoring, and urban warfare. The primary focus in current state-of-the-art jumping robots has been on jumping...

Fully Soft 3D Printed Electroactive Fluidic Valve in Soft Hydraulic Robots

Creator:

Zatopa, Alexander

Abstract:

Soft robots are designed to utilize their compliance and contortionistic abilities to both interact safely with their environment and move through it in ways a rigid robot cannot. To more completely achieve this, the robot should be made of as many soft components as possible. Here we present a completely...

Planning Under Uncertainty for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Creator:

Skeele, Ryan

Abstract:

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has grown out of traditional research and military applications and has captivated the commercial and consumer markets, showing the ability to perform a spectrum of autonomous functions. This technology has the capability of saving lives in search and rescue, fighting wildfires in environmental monitoring, and...

Robotic Machining Fundamentals for Casting Defect Removal

Creator:

Biederman, Moriah

Abstract:

In the past half century, industrial robots have developed a strong presence in manufacturing. They now commonly perform tasks such as materials handling, assembly, welding, and painting. Unfortunately robotic machining tasks have seen limited deployments. The majority of machining robots are designed for soft materials like wood or plastic and...

Robots Against Infectious Diseases : A Technologically Grounded, Human-Centered Exploration

Creator:

Kraft, Kory

Abstract:

Robots have the potential to protect health care workers, provide patient care, and ultimately save lives in infectious disease outbreaks. Nevertheless, infectious disease outbreak scenarios present unique technological and social challenges for robotics. This work explores what robots can and should do in the fight against infectious diseases. We present...
