  • Utilization of Robot Ankle Torque to Account for Foot Placement Error

    Creator:
    Bernards, Mitchell F.
    Abstract:
    Modern walking robots have shown that dynamic gaits can be achieved without ankle motors. It seems logical that the additional control authority that they provide can be used to improve the stability of the walking gait against foot placement errors caused by low level control. This thesis develops and compares...

  • Expressive Motion in Simple Robotics

    Creator:
    Berger, Jaden E.
    Abstract:
    This thesis follows two studies performed with simple robots. The first follows a robot interacting with eight improvisers to create scenes and perform five isolated gestures (towards, away, sideways, spin, and circle) for interpretation. The second follows a group of three robots performing the same five isolated gestures at two...

    Creator:
    Nurvitadhi, Eriko
    Abstract:
    Wireless technologies advance rapidly in the recent time. The maJor initiative is the realization of the third generation wireless network that provides high bandwidth access to digital data on the Internet. Moreover, recent improvements in computer and embedded systems have enabled portable devices with sufficiently high computing capability. The combination...

  • Design of a Green Microbial Fuel Cell for Soft Robotics

    Creator:
    Van Volkenburg, Tessa
    Abstract:
    This work introduces the design and fabrication of a green-sourced and mostly biodegradable microbial fuel cell for use in soft robotic applications from environmental sensing to wastewater remediation. Theorized from other biodegradable fuel cells, this prototype achieved maximum power densities of 4.0 x 10−4 W/m2 in the single-chambered design and...

  • Comparing Actuation and Underactuation of Robotic Hands

    Creator:
    DuFrene, Kyle
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the differences in puppetted and teleoperation control of robotic hands, using the Asterisk test as a benchmark. Two hands were tested, including modified versions of the Model Q and Model Q developed by Yale's GRAB Lab. Small differences were observed between the puppetted and teleoperation control of...

  • Rope Selection for Rope Drive Transmissions Used in Robotic Manipulation

    Creator:
    Summers, Michael P.
    Abstract:
    Wire and fiber ropes used in rigorous CBOS (cyclic bend over sheave) applications were investigated. Small diameter stainless steel, tungsten, and Vectran® ropes were tested over small sheaves at high loads and cycle speeds. Sheaves were made with Al6061-T6511 and Al7075-T651 and were coated with 0.002” hard coat anodize; some...

  • Predicting Robotic Grasps Using Surrogate Datasets

    Creator:
    Unrath, Matthew Paul Nishita
    Abstract:
    One of the tasks that continues to prove difficult in robotics is the ability to grasp objects of varying shapes. It is time-consuming to acquire large amounts of real-world data in order to train accurate classifiers that can predict the success or failure of a grasp. To solve this issue,...

  • Robotic path-planning through dynamic maps

    Creator:
    Bowie, Cameron Scott
    Abstract:
    Robotic global navigation is often based on the assumption that the world is static. It assumes that obstacles present in maps will be there later and new obstacles will be dealt with by a local planning algorithm. When robots interact in an environment inhabited by people, this assumption does not...

  • Evaluation of total hip arthroplasty research in the US and Europe

    Creator:
    Simmons, Marcy J.
    Abstract:
    Background: Hip replacements are considered routine operations which improve the quality of life in patients by reducing pain and restoring function. There are many variations in prostheses with varying benefits and disadvantages. Methods: Literature from the United States and Europe was collected on total hip replacements between 2001 and the...
