Cooperative Collision Avoidance on Small-sized Quadcopters With Indoor Loco Positioning System

Creator:: Avadhanula, Ritika
Abstract:: Disaster response and surveillance operations will increasingly incorporate Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)s due to their cost-effectiveness and maneuverability. This trend has driven the research on small-sized quadcopters for varying indoor applications. Small-sized quadcopters' payload and computational capacity limit the usage of complex vision-based collision avoidance algorithms that are employed by...

Branch reconstruction and modelling for pruning

Creator:: Josyula, Gopala Krishna
Abstract:: Successful pruning relies on accurately identifying the 3D structure of tree branches and leaders. However, this task is arduous in an agricultural setting due to the complexity of scenes, the presence of clutter, and variable weather conditions. This project addresses these challenges by leveraging advancements in 2D image segmentation and...

Computer Vision Model Selection For Real-Time Tracking of Apples

Creator:: Bloch, Peter J.
Abstract:: This paper presents a method of implementing real-time apple detection for closed-loop control to approach apples for grabbing. The approach is to train two known real-time object detection networks–the Faster R-CNN and YOLOv5–on a novel dataset to verify that it is possible to achieve maximum average precision (mAP) above 50\%...

Event detection for avian and bat wildlife on wind turbine blades

Creator:: Drachnik, Nicholas
Abstract:: Countries have begun to adopt green energy initiatives requiring high percentages of power generation to come from clean energy sources. Both onshore and offshore wind energy generates reliable clean energy. Due to this, wind energy has had an exponential growth in global adoption. While wind energy is increasingly adopted by...

Wing Flutter Suppression via Distributed Electric Propulsion

Creator:: Bamberger, Joshua
Abstract:: This research aims to demonstrate the viability of actively controlled distributed-electric propulsion as a method to postpone flutter in high aspect-ratio elastic wings. A semi-wing on a spring mount with two propellers powered by electric motors, mounted at alternate pitch angles relative to the chord line, was used as the...

A Framework for Designing Task-Specific Robot Hands Based on Task Decomposition and Sub-Task Performance Benchmarks

Creator:: Campbell, Joshua M.
Abstract:: As technologies like 3D printing increase in prevalence and capabilities, having a robot hand specifically designed for a given manipulation task also becomes more feasible. Leading to the question of how to design a robot hand for a specific manipulation task. To answer this question, I propose we need three...

A Novel Method for the Quantitative Assessment of Fingered Robot Hand Designs for In-Hand Manipulation using Human Studies and Object-Centric Benchmarks

Creator:: Morrow, John F., IV
Abstract:: Fingered robot hands are complicated systems made of three essential system components: its morphology, its actuation, and its software control. These system components are tightly coupled to each other. Due to this, it is hard to benchmark robot hand performance in a way to understand the contributions of the individual...

Geometric Optimization Methods for Mobile Systems

Creator:: Bass, Capprin J.
Abstract:: When studying robot systems, it is common to ask about optimal approaches to accomplish a given task. In the context of mobile systems, particularly biomimetic systems, optimization tasks are closely related to the relevant dynamics of locomotion. In this thesis, building on prior work from the geometric mechanics community, we...

Machining cycle-time prediction in combination with analytical and data-driven CNC interpolator modeling

Creator:: Endo, Masafumi
Abstract:: This work presents a new approach to enable accurate machining cycle-time prediction. While conventional computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software estimates cycle times for given toolpaths, huge errors occur due to neglecting interpolator dynamics of numerical control (NC) systems. Typically, the machine changes its feedrate such as slowing down and speeding up...

Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Wing Flutter Suppression via Distributed Propulsion

Creator:: Anderson, Cole J.
Abstract:: In a seminal paper published in 1982, scientist have warned that humanity was pushing earth’s ecosystems beyond their capacities to support the web of life. One response to the concern was outlined by NASA with its vision for advanced fixed wing transport aircraft to be environmentally compatible and have revolutionary...
