Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis objective was to design a walking robot appropriate for testing a machine earning control system. As a robot that would learn how to walk, it was pre-maturely named Toddler. The passive dynamic walker, a class of simple robots driven by gravity and inertia, was selected as the model for the Toddler robot. Two preliminary passive walkers were explored: a three-dimensional, toy-like biped with one degree of freedom at the hip; and a two-dimensional, four-legged kneed walker with degrees of freedom at the hip and knees. Bench level and computer modeled analyses were conducted during the design and construction of these robots. The simpler, toy-like walker was selected as the unactuated model for actuated Toddler. Two degrees of freedom, controlling step size and frequency, were introduced at the ankle. Toddler was able to walk with a dynamically-stable gait either passively down a ramp, or actively on a flat or slightly uphill surface. With its simple design and robust performance, Toddler provides an excellent platform for testing machine learning control in walking robotics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents various techniques to carry out the gait modeling, the gait patterns synthesis, and the control of biped robots. Some general information on the human walking, a presentation of the current experimental biped robots, and the application of walking bipeds are given. The modeling is based on the decomposition on a walking step into different sub-phases depending on the way each foot stands into contact on the ground. The robot design is dealt with according to the mass repartition and the choice of the actuators. Different ways to generate walking patterns are considered, such as passive walking and gait synthesis performed using optimization technique. Control based on the robot modeling, neural network methods, or intuitive approaches are presented. The unilaterality of contact is dealt with using on-line adaptation of the desired motion.

Book Synopsis Biped robot designing and interfacing by : Gelli Gnanamanideep
Download or read book Biped robot designing and interfacing written by Gelli Gnanamanideep and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The designing of a biped robot is the most challenging because of the inherent stability. However a walking robot has advantages over the wheeled robots. Although wheeled robots are commonly used, they only have limited ability to move to any destination. They suffer from the difficulties when travelling over uneven and rough terrains. In this work an attempt has been made to develop a prototype below hip a legged robot. The robot has 8 degree of freedom (DoF) in total that allow imitation of various human gaits. The conceptual design of the biped is done using SolidWorks and the simulation is done by using M.Sc ADAM The prototype design is initially developed in SolidWorks. The bipedal motion is simulated using M.Sc ADAMS software for mechanical system simulation. Aluminum is used for the fabrication. The robot uses 8 servo motors for actuating the various joints of the biped. The total weight of the biped is 1.15 kg and the motors are capable of delivering 1.6 Nm torque. The biped is interfaced with the controller available with Robix Rascal kit and by using the RobixR software to move the biped.

Book Synopsis Designs and Prototypes of Mobile Robots by : Marco Ceccarelli
Download or read book Designs and Prototypes of Mobile Robots written by Marco Ceccarelli and published by American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several decades now, mobile robots have been integral to the development of new robotic systems for new applications, even in nontechnical areas. Mobile robots have already been developed for such uses as industrial automation, medical care, space exploration, demining operations, surveillance, entertainment, museum guides and many other industrial and non-industrial applications. In some cases these products are readily available on the market. A considerable amount of literature is also available; not all of which pertains to technical issues, as listed in the chapters of this book. Mobile robots will always be further developed with the goal of performing locomotion tasks, those related to movement and interaction with the surrounding environment, within which a task can be fulfilled even without the supervision of human operators. The complexity of locomotion requires different solutions both for design and operation. As such, a large variety of mobile robots and mobile robotic systems has been, and still can be, developed. In fact, considerable advancements have been achieved within the last few decades, and a vast amount of literature is already available detailing a large variety of mobile robots. The literature emphasizes design issues, operational success, procedures and algorithms that can be used specifically for these applications, as opposed to general approaches for a variety of cases. One key point for mobile robots is interaction with the environment in which the mobile robot moves and corresponding solutions can determine the success or failure of the motion. Indeed, the mechanical design is not very often considered a critical issue, but rather it is often included as an issue in the overall design of mechanical solutions within servo-controlled operation and environment interaction. A second important issue is the acceptance of robotic systems and the corresponding psychological aspects, when robots are proposed to operators and users in fields with very low levels of technical means in their current work practice. These two subjects are the core of the discussions in this book and its companion volume, Mobile Robots for Dynamic Environments (available separately from ASME Press), which aims to illustrate not only the potential but also the problems for the dissemination of mobile robots and mobile robotic systems in all human activities with service aims. Authors have been invited from all over the world and chapters have been selected after review as to approach the most challenging aspects and applications of mobile robotic systems, with the aim to survey the current state-of-the-art and its future potential. We believe that readers will enjoy this book and its companion, and will utilize the knowledge gained with satisfaction and will be assisted by its content in their interdisciplinary work for engineering developments of mobile robots, in both old and new applications. This book and its companion can be used as a graduate level course books or guide books for the practicing engineer who is working on a specific problem which is described in one of the chapters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A humanoid robot is a robot with its body shape built to resemble the human body. The design may be for functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, for experimental purposes, such as the study of al locomotion or for other purposes. In general, humanoid robots have a torso, a head, two arms, and two legs, though some forms of humanoid robots may model only part of the body, for example, from the waist up. Some humanoid robot also have heads designed to replicate human facial features such as eyes and mouths. Androids are humanoid robots built to aesthetically resemble humans. It is easier for bipedal robots to exist in a human oriented environment than for other types of robots. Furthermore, dynamic walking is more efficient than static walking. For a biped robot achieve dynamic balance while walking, a dynamic gait must be developed. Two different approaches to gait generation are presented

This book was released on 2009-01-17 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the dawn of the new millennium, robotics has undergone a major tra- formation in scope and dimensions. This expansion has been brought about bythematurityofthe?eldandtheadvancesinitsrelatedtechnologies.From a largely dominant industrial focus, robotics has been rapidly expanding into the challenges of the human world. The new generation of robots is expected to safely and dependably co-habitat with humans in homes, workplaces, and communities,providingsupportinservices,entertainment,education,heal- care, manufacturing, and assistance. Beyond its impact on physical robots, the body of knowledge robotics has produced is revealing a much wider range of applications reaching across - verse researchareas and scienti?c disciplines, such as: biomechanics, haptics, neurosciences, virtual simulation, animation, surgery, and sensor networks among others. In return, the challenges of the new emerging areas are pr- ing an abundant source of stimulation and insights for the ?eld of robotics. It is indeed at the intersection of disciplines that the most striking advances happen. The goal of the series of Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics (STAR) is to bring, in a timely fashion, the latest advances and developments in robotics on the basis of their signi?cance and quality. It is our hope that the wider dissemination of research developments will stimulate more exchanges and collaborations among the research community and contribute to further advancement of this rapidly growing ?eld.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Robotic Mechanical Systems written by Jorge Angeles and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-10-16 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern robotics dates from the late 1960s, when progress in the development of microprocessors made possible the computer control of a multiaxial manipulator. Since then, robotics has evolved to connect with many branches of science and engineering, and to encompass such diverse fields as computer vision, artificial intelligence, and speech recognition. This book deals with robots - such as remote manipulators, multifingered hands, walking machines, flight simulators, and machine tools - that rely on mechanical systems to perform their tasks. It aims to establish the foundations on which the design, control and implementation of the underlying mechanical systems are based. The treatment assumes familiarity with some calculus, linear algebra, and elementary mechanics; however, the elements of rigid-body mechanics and of linear transformations are reviewed in the first chapters, making the presentation self-contained. An extensive set of exercises is included. Topics covered include: kinematics and dynamics of serial manipulators with decoupled architectures; trajectory planning; determination of the angular velocity and angular acceleration of a rigid body from point data; inverse and direct kinematics manipulators; dynamics of general parallel manipulators of the platform type; and the kinematics and dynamics of rolling robots. Since the publication of the previous edition there have been numerous advances in both the applications of robotics (including in laprascopy, haptics, manufacturing, and most notably space exploration) as well as in the theoretical aspects (for example, the proof that Husty's 40th-degree polynomial is indeed minimal - mentioned as an open question in the previous edition).

This book was released on 2018-08-13 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technical Report from the year 2018 in the subject Engineering - Robotics, , language: English, abstract: Biped robots have gained much attention for decades. A variety of researches has been conducted to make them able to assist or even substitute for humans in performing special tasks. In addition, studying biped robots is important in order to understand the human locomotion and to develop and improve control strategies for prosthetic and orthotic limbs. Some challenges encountered in the design of biped robots are: (1) biped robots have unstable structures due to the passive joint located at the unilateral foot-ground contact. (2) They have different configuration when switching from walking phase to another. During the single support phase, the robot is under-actuated, while turning into an over-actuated system during the double-support phase. (3) Biped robots have many degrees of freedom, and (4) interact with different unknown environments. Therefore, this work is focused on offline computational optimal control strategies for zero-moment point-based biped robots. Computational optimal control has been performed to investigate the effects of some imposed constraints on biped locomotion, such as enforcing swing foot to move level to the ground, hip motion with constant height etc. finite difference approach has been used to transcribe infinite dimensional optimal control problem into finite dimensional suboptimal control problem. Then parameter optimization has been used to get suboptimal trajectory of the biped with the imposing different constraints. In general, any artificially imposed constraint to biped locomotion can lead to increase in value of input control torques. On the other hand, suboptimal trajectory of biped robot during complete gait cycle had been accomplished with different cases such that continuous dynamic response occurs. Enforcing the biped locomotion to move with linear transition of zero-moment point during the DSP can lead to more energy consumption.
Book Synopsis Knee Design for a Bipedal Walking Robot Based on a Passive-dynamic Walker by : Andrew Griffin Baines
Download or read book Knee Design for a Bipedal Walking Robot Based on a Passive-dynamic Walker written by Andrew Griffin Baines and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Passive-dynamic walkers are a class of robots that can walk down a ramp stably without actuators or control due to the mechanical dynamics of the robot. Using a passive-dynamic design as the basis for a powered robot helps to simplify the control problem and maximize energy efficiency compared to the traditional joint-angle control strategy. This thesis outlines the design of a knee for the robot known as Toddler, a passive-dynamic based powered walker built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. An actuator at the knee allows the robot to bend and straighten the leg, but a clutch mechanism allows the actuator to completely disengage so that the leg can swing freely. The clutch operates by using a motor to rotate a lead screw which engages or disengages a set of spur gears. Control of the knee is accomplished by utilizing the robot's sensors to determine whether or not the knee should be engaged. The engagement signal is then fed through a simple motor control circuit which controls the motor that turns the lead screw. The knee design was successfully implemented on Toddler but more work is required in order to optimize his walking. In order to study the dynamics of walking with knees, we also built a copy of McGeer's original passive walker with knees.
