Abstract:

In this dissertation, we study two new approaches to fault detection for autonomous robots. The first approach involves the synthesis of software components that give a robot the capacity to detect faults which occur in itself. Our hypothesis is that hardware faults change the flow of sensory data and the actions performed by the control program. By detecting these changes, the presence of faults can be inferred. In order to test our hypothesis, we collect data in three different tasks performed by real robots. During a number of training runs, we record sensory data from the robots both while

Abstract:

Gestures and other body movements of humanoid robots can be used to convey meanings which are extracted from an input signal, such as speech or music. For example, the humanoid robot waves its arm to say goodbye or nods its head to dance to the beats of the music. This thesis investigates how to autonomously animate a real humanoid robot given an input signal. This thesis addresses five core challenges, namely: Representation of motions, Mappings between meanings and motions, Selection of relevant motions, Synchronization of motion sequences to the input signal, and Stability of the motion seq

With current state-of-the-art approaches, development of a single mobile manipulation capability can be a labor-intensive process that presents an impediment to the creation of general purpose household robots. At the same time, we expect that involving a larger community of non-roboticists can accelerate the creation of new novel behaviors. We introduce the use of a software authoring environment called ROS Commander (ROSCo) allowing end-users to create, refine, and reuse robot behaviors with complexity similar to those currently created by roboticists.

Abstract:

A problem of motion control in robot motion planning is to find a smooth transition while going from one path to another. The key concept of our theory is the steering function, used to manipulate the motion of our vehicle. The steering function determines the robot's position and orientation by controlling path curvature and speed. We also present the - neutral switching method - algorithm that provides the autonomous vehicle with the capability to determine the best leaving point which allows for a smooth transition from one path to another in a model-based polygonal world.

Abstract:

In this thesis, we propose an approach to achieve autonomous task partitioning in swarms of robots. Task partitioning is the process by which tasks are decomposed into sub-tasks and it is often an advantageous way of organizing work in groups of individuals. Therefore, it is interesting to study its application to swarm robotics, in which groups of robots are deployed to collectively carry out a mission. The capability of partitioning tasks autonomously can enhance the flexibility of swarm robotics systems because the robots can adapt the way they decompose and perform their work depending on

Autonomous mobile robots - both aerial and terrestrial vehicles - have gained immense importance due to the broad spectrum of their potential military and civilian applications.
