Abstract:
Industrial robotics concentrates on developing automated alternatives to human function. Most of the equipment is controlled by means of joystick. Through a joystick input, a robotic arm can be guided through the trajectories to accomplish complex manipulation tasks for its user. Nevertheless, conventional joysticks are mainly two dimensional input devices such as mouse or joystick with additional buttons. Hence it is necessary to design and build a more intuitive and user-friendly joystick model. This thesis aims at designing and building a six degree of freedom (DOF) joystick. Different desi

Abstract:
As social and collaborative robots move into everyday life, the need for algorithms enabling their acceptance becomes critical. People parse non-verbal communications intuitively, even from machines that do not look like people, thus, expressive motion is a natural and efficient way to communicate with people. This work presents a computational Expressive Motion framework allowing simple robots to modify task motions to communicate varying internal states, such as task status, social relationships, mood (e.g., emotive) and/or attitude (e.g., rushed, confident).

Although there is demand in computer graphics and animation for generating such scenes, little work has targeted these problems.

We show that for two degree of freedom systems near an isolated critical value of the energy momentum map, the monodromy group can be determined solely from the local data of the energy momentum map at the singularity.

The single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) transformation factors as tabulated in John Biggs’ textbook (Biggs 1964) are accepted as the equivalent factors for simplifying and analyzing a component's response to blast. The study validates the stiffness and mass transformation factors through multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) numerical methods. After validating the transformation factors, the MDOF numerical method is used to create new stiffness and mass transformation factors for loading cases not already included in Biggs’ textbook.
