Abstract:
Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2011.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 36-39).<br>Humanoid robots are artificial constructs designed to emulate the human body in form and function. They are a unique class of robots whose anthropomorphic nature renders them particularly well-suited to interact with humans in a world designed for humans. The present work examines a subset of the plethora of engineering challenges that face modem developers of humanoid robots, with a focus on challenges that fall within the domain of mechanical engineering. The challenge of emulating human bipedal locomotion on a robotic platform is reviewed in the context of the evolutionary origins of human bipedalism and the biomechanics of walking and running. Precise joint angle control bipedal robots and passive-dynamic walkers, the two most prominent classes of modem bipedal robots, are found to have their own strengths and shortcomings. An integration of the strengths from both classes is likely to characterize the next generation of humanoid robots. The challenge of replicating human arm and hand dexterity with a robotic system is reviewed in the context of the evolutionary origins and kinematic structure of human forelimbs. Form-focused design and function-focused design, two distinct approaches to the design of modem robotic arms and hands, are found to have their own strengths and shortcomings. An integration of the strengths from both approaches is likely to characterize the next generation of humanoid robots.<br>by Peter Guang Yi Lu.<br>S.B.

Abstract:
<p> The goal of this project was to design, build, program, upgrade, and remotely control an existing industrial-grade robotic manipulator on a budget that was equal to a graduate student's salary.</p><p> Inverse kinematic equations were developed to model the CRS arm using Denavit-Hartenberg convention. After converting these equations into a system of Python code, the equations were verified via graphical simulation.</p><p> The CRS arm's obsolete motor driver box was completely removed and replaced with cutting-edge, low-cost microcontrollers. The wiring, mechanics, and controls for the five degrees of freedom (DOF) were reverse engineered based on very limited datasheets, including the arm's motors, brakes, encoder pin-outs, gripper, and fixed global reference frame movement.</p><p> The microcontrollers were then programmed in C/C++ to allow a user to control every electrical and mechanical aspect of the arm. The kinematic equations were implemented on a Python server, which commands how each joint in the robotic arm must move to reach a desired point in space. The user interface was developed in conjunction with Evan Boldt to allow for remote control of the robotic arm and monitoring through webcams, which includes twisting and tilting a tablet.</p>

Abstract:
Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2006.<br>In the MIT ci ss Introduction to Robotics, a two link robotic arm is used to learn about robots however, the arm is limited since its only function is movement. In order to create a more meaningful and useful experience for students in the class, an end effecter with position feedback is going to be design and created as a third link for the current arm. Once complete, it will add functionality to the robot, namely picking up objects, by providing students with hands-on experience accomplishing a fundamental human task with a robot. The end effecter is comprised of a gravity link with two finger grippers each having rotating compliant tips which will compress around the object selected for lifting. The gravity link will insure that the two fingers are always vertical and the rotation on the tips will allow the fingers to be in the correct orientation so they can grasp around an object and pick it up. This solution creates a more practical experience and provides increased learning tasks for students in Introduction to Robotics.<br>by Rebecca R. Romatoski.<br>S.B.

Full text
Abstract:
<p> Detecting leaks is always a priority in the oil and gas industry and plays a major concern to human safety. The time required to fix any leak has a direct relationship in determining the damages caused to the environment, industry, and most importantly, the number of lives lost caused by catastrophic pipe failures. Detecting leak size and location in pipelines with higher accuracy presents major challenges to operators. This research work presents an innovative solution to locate a leak location inside a pipeline with higher precision. The solution is based on generating a 3D model that establishes a relationship between leak noise and its associated location and size. In order to generate the 3D model, an experiment study was first conducted where a flow loop having a leak, integrated with an acoustic detection system, was built to collect data about the effect of leak size, flowrate, pipeline material, and length on the noise generated. Later, a numerical study used the experimental results to initiate a simulation that aimed at finding how the leak noise propagates from the leak location. Finally, the experimental and numerical results were combined into a 3D model equation that solves for the leak location based on the leak noise and size.</p><p>

Abstract:
Thesis: S.B., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2014.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references.<br>The Clearpath Robotics Kingfisher M200 robot is an unmanned water surface vehicle with payload autonomy capability. This allows users to develop autonomy control on an offboard computer until it is ready for use on the autonomous vehicle. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Battelle Autonomy Laboratory plans to utilize this feature in both teaching and research applications so that users can develop autonomous missions on off-board single-board computers and then easily integrate their missions with the vehicles when ready. Although the M200's payload bay includes a waterproof data connection port, there is no provided environmental protection for the payload computer itself. This paper documents the design and production of a waterproof payload computer module that allows for the operation of the single-board computer, data interface with the M200's on-board computer and for the attachment of additional USB components. The Raspberry Pi was selected as the most appropriate single-board computer and the Otterbox Drybox 3000 was selected as the most appropriate enclosure. Electrical circuitry was designed to allow for power to the computer, data communication with the M200 and USB connections for additional components, and combination of cable glands and panel-mounted connectors were used to allow these connections to be accessible from the outside of the enclosure while retaining a NEMA 4 waterproof enclosure rating. In order to create a robust and user-friendly module, a system of strain relief and component orientation was designed. Continuous testing and adapting of prototypes resulted in a compact, operational payload module that can easily be interfaced with the Kingfisher M200 to provide payload autonomy as well as offer two additional USB ports for the connection of additional components. This design aims to be easily reproducible by other Kingfisher M200 users, as well as adaptable to other payload autonomy applications.<br>by Emily L. Dunne.<br>S.B.

Abstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2012.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 204-208).<br>This work investigates, defines, and expands on the use of robotic arms in digital fabrication, design, and art through methods including 3D printing, milling, sculpting, functionally graded fabrication, construction-scale additive manufacturing, jammable granular system design, light painting, and volumetric sensing. While most current applications of robotics in manufacturing rely on repetitive automation and assembly tasks, the flexibility, dexterity, and precision of industrial robotic arms provide for design opportunities of multi-functionary roles. Through exploration and demonstration, a multipurpose fabrication platform was developed using a KUKA KR5 sixx R850 robotic arm. The platform is capable of conventional manufacturing techniques spanning the three traditional fabrication categories: additive, subtractive, and formative. Case studies and digital design fabrication protocols were developed as part of the robotic platform to demonstrate these three types of fabrication including 3D printing, multi-axis milling, and clay sculpting, respectively. Compound processes, such as combining 3D printing and milling, were developed that offer product-, and process-based improvements over standalone techniques. The benefits and drawbacks of a multi-fabrication platform are discussed, including cost, physical footprint, resolution, and flexibility. In addition to replicating conventional manufacturing techniques with a single robotic platform, several novel applications were developed which take advantage of the flexibility of an arm system. First, functionally graded 3D printing was explored using concrete through which density gradients were shown to achieve higher structural efficiency. A novel construction-scale additive manufacturing process capable of 3D printing building components was developed. Secondly, direct recycling 3D printing was developed where waste thermoplastic products are transformed into feedstock and printed into new components within a single operation. Work conducted on jammed granular structures, where external pressure controls system stiffness and strength, resulted in several new formative fabrication possibilities. Combined with robotics, waste-free digital casting using jammable materials was enabled along with a variety of design projects including the design of robotic arms themselves. Finally, the use of robotic arms for fabrication of material and environmental properties without mechanical force transfer was explored. Coined immaterial fabrication,t his fabrication category captures methods that do not fall within the definitions of additive, subtractive, or formative processes. Work produced in this area includes a volumetric sensing technique and robotic light paintings that reveal thermal, electromagnetic, and optical fields.<br>by Steven J. Keating.<br>S.M.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Ocean Engineering; and, (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 1999.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 140-143).<br>The apparatus in the MIT Testing Tank provides a unique opportunity to study both the physics of unsteady flow control and the engineering complexities involved in constraining a vehicle within the geometry of a fish body. The bulk of the work in this study involves clarifying and solving issues with the mechanical and electrical systems of the RoboTuna. We worked toward making the prototype mechanism a robust laboratory instrument, de­ vising a strong scientific method, reinforcing existing technology and building apparatus to better visualize and quantify the flow field. As existing data for rigid body and ma.Et drag were sparse we conducted a rigorous study of these values. We streamlined the robot, both physically and computationally, revising the data acquisition hardware and software. Confidence in the accuracy of the sensors, and is a suitable calibration routine, is vital to the research. The robot's eighteen internal sensors had not been calibrated since they were installed. We developed an automated calibration routine for the position and load goad sensors, using the motor encoders and supplied torque to classify the built system. Characteristics of the mechanism and sensor performance are now easily, quickly and routinely monitored. Designing and constructing an extensive system for dye visualization and digital particle image velocimetry, we did preliminary work characterizing the boundary layer of the swimming robot. We compare results gathered from the boundary layer of the swimming robot to the law of the wall and real fish swimming. We conducted experimental swimming efficiency runs focusing on the repeatability of the system and its sensitivity to various measurement errors. We have outlined bounds on the validity of our computations and determined how well the RoboTuna is currently performing. As this work represents a piece in a significant ongoing effort, suggestions for future work are included.<br>by Samuel William Tolkoff.<br>S.M.

The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.<br>Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 106-114).<br>Medical robotics is increasingly demonstrating the potential to improve patient care through more precise interventions. However, taking inspiration from industrial robotics has often resulted in large, sometimes cumbersome designs, which represent high capital and per procedure expenditures, as well as increased procedure times. This thesis proposes and demonstrates an alternative model and method for developing economical, appropriately scaled medical robots that improve care and efficiency, while moderating costs. Key to this approach is a structured design process that actively reduces complexity. A selected medical procedure is decomposed into discrete tasks which are then separated into those that are conducted satisfactorily and those where the clinician encounters limitations, often where robots' strengths would be complimentary. Then by following deterministic principles and with continual user participation, prototyping and testing, a system can be designed that integrates into and assists with current procedures, rather than requiring a completely new protocol. This model is expected to lay the groundwork for increasing the use of hands-on technology in interventional medicine.<br>by Nevan Clancy Hanumara.<br>Ph.D.

Full text
Abstract:
<p>Given a desired function for an effector, what is its appropriate shape? This thesis addresses the problem of designing the shape of a rigid end effector to perform a given manipulation task. It presents three main contributions: First, it describes the contact kinematics of an effector as the product of both its shape and its motion, and assumes a fixed motion model to explore the role of shape in satisfying a certain manipulation task. Second, it formulates that manipulation task as a set of constraints on the geometry of contact between the effector and the world. Third, it develops tools to transform those contact constraints into an effector shape for general 1-DOF planar mechanisms and general 1-DOF spatial mechanisms, and discusses the generalization to mechanisms with more than one degree of freedom. </p><p> We describe the case studies of designing grippers with invariant grasp geometry, grippers with improved grasp stability, and grippers with extended grasp versatility. We further showcase the techniques with the design of the fingers of the MLab hand, a three-fingered gripper actuated with a single motor, capable of exerting any combination of geometrically correct enveloping or fingertip grasps of spherical, cylindrical, and prismatic objects of varying size. </p>

Abstract:
Most engineering schools currently include a curriculum component that introduces students to the field of robotics. Multiple methods and techniques are used by engineering educators to help students gain familiarity and interest in robotic systems and their applications. However, very rarely the students get the opportunity to gain the ultimate experience of applying acquired knowledge of the field through building an actual robot. This is because building a robot during a college course involves multiple challenges including robotic systems high complexity and the requirement of combining multiple knowledge bases. Students studying robotics end up, at the most, programming purchased robots, or simulating robots using software, but not actually going through the realities and challenges of putting the system together and making it functional to the point of experimenting with it. In this paper, a unique experience in learning robotic systems and building actual robots is presented. This experience is made available in an elective course on robotic systems engineering at Grand Valley State University (GVSU), School of Engineering (SOE). The produced robots are two or three jointed arm configuration robots, controlled by a programmable microcontroller and built based on classroom gained knowledge. In the classroom, the students learn the kinematics and simplified dynamics of robots, as well as other related topics. In the laboratory, the students are required to apply the learned concepts of kinematics and design in combination with control systems to build a robot that will help them understand and demonstrate these concepts. The course final projects include robotic systems that are built or integrated by teams of students. These projects provide a range of challenges that extends from mechanical design to control systems. The projects are taken up by teams of students having diversified interests and skill bases within the course. The final outcomes of the course are working robotic systems that can demonstrate the students’ knowledge and interest, which the students use significantly as a proof of their competence level when putting together their resumes to move into the next level of their careers. From an educational angle, the course provides the students with an opportunity to combine multiple knowledge sets, skills, and interest to gain the ultimate experience in education: producing a functional system to specifications.

Abstract:
Collaborative robots (CoBots) are robots that can safely work alongside human workers. CoBots represent one form of advanced automation technology in manufacturing and are expected to become standard in production systems. They have the potential to transform manufacturing and assembly processes, however, there is a critical lack of U.S. trained CoBot technicians and engineers. The objective of this paper is to describe and introduce novel Collaborative Robotics course modules and their integration in Engineering and Engineering Technology programs at Wayne State University (WSU) and Oakland Community College (OCC). Modules cover three target areas: 1) Safety considerations for CoBots, 2) CoBot operations and programming, 3) Designing and evaluating CoBot systems. Modules cover fundamental knowledge of CoBots in advanced manufacturing systems and are developed based on input from CoBot manufacturers and experiments at the WSU’s Cobotics lab. Module components include CoBot fundamentals and hands-on laboratory exercises necessary to prepare a career-ready workforce, train industry professionals, and educate academicians on CoBot technologies for advanced manufacturing. Modules and components are developed such that the elements can be integrated into the current Robotics and Automated Systems Technology program at OCC and Engineering and Engineering Technology programs at WSU.

Abstract:
While most K-12 students associate the field of “Robotics” with mobile robots, undergraduate and basic graduate level courses in the subject tend to focus on serial link manipulator arms on fixed bases. Senior level “Robotics” course discussed in this paper, emphasize the latter. In the study of serial link manipulator arms, linear algebra, fundamentals of kinematics and dynamics, control systems, trajectory planning, programming languages, robotic sensors (particularly vision) play a dominant role. The abstract mathematical concepts are often difficult for the undergraduate students to fathom. Laboratory demonstration using industrial robotic arms provides some physical insight; however, it is seldom practical to let undergraduate students work on these machines on their own without appropriate supervision. Time constraints associated with credit/contact hours is also a deterrent and a practical reality. A combination of laboratory demonstration and use of software environment such as MATLAB and in particular the “Robotics Toolbox” integrated with the course lectures help convey important ideas related to spatial transformations, forward and inverse kinematics, forward and inverse dynamics, control, robotic vision and programming concepts related to the field of robotics to the undergraduate students in a meaningful framework. The “Robotics Toolbox” allow students to work on simulations of different manipulator arms, as well as create their own. The schematic visualization of the simulations reinforces important concepts covered in course lectures, as well as laboratory demonstration.

Abstract:
This paper is concerned with the review of active learning methods implemented in Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering courses. The active learning methods are categorized into two groups of in-class activities without the use of computers and computer-based classrooms. The strategies to encourage university instructors to adopt active learning methods are also discussed. The paper also addresses the pilot project for the implementation of a novel computer-based experiential learning in the course of “Robot Manipulators: Kinematics, Dynamics, Control” at the University of Waterloo, Canada. A Student Interactive Learning System (SILS) has been developed for in-class activities in this course. The SILS system has two components: students’ mobile devices and a front-end website in which the instructor has control to upload the demonstrations and quizzes and receive students’ responses. The students are connected to the website through the WiFi connection. Findings of an initial survey, which was conducted at the start of the semester, revealed that majority of the students find the conventional classroom passive and believe adding interactivity in the lecture enhances their in-class learning experiences.

Abstract:
Abstract The mobile platform is an attractive educational tool that has brought to myriad effective benefits for a variety of the application fields. Furthermore, application of the mobile platform to engineering education has greatly assisted the engineering students’ firsthand experiences in college. However, most of the robotics classes offered today are concentrating on mechatronics and software education. For the advancement, this paper develops the mobile platform for the effective curriculum in teaching design and fabrication of robots in the house. The design of the proposed mobile platform bases on the knowledge of the majors subject from mechanical engineering. Through the dynamic simulation, the possibility of an introduction of the developed platform to robotics education is verified. Dynamic simulation experiments with the maximum velocity and acceleration of this system are carried out to check the application for educational purposes. As a final step, components of the platform are fabricated and assembled.

Abstract:
This work describes our effort at the Delaware County Campus of Penn State to enhance the freshman engineering design and graphics and sophomore engineering computer programming courses by incorporating problem-based collaborative robotics projects in and between these courses. The robotics project in the engineering design and graphics course, ED&amp;G 100, focuses on the mechanical and overall design aspect of a robot, and the projects in the engineering computer programming course, CMPSC 201, focus on the programming aspects. Lego Mindstorms and Handy Board controller have been chosen for building the robots and programming them, respectively. The collaborative projects have been designed with the intention of increasing learning, through collaboration among students and faculty. The projects also encourage teamwork by working with students from different disciplines, promote analytical skills by working to solve an open-ended problem, and provide practical experience and learning by doing through working with robots. To emphasize the importance of communication skills, at the end of the semester each team is also expected to present a report for the final project using PowerPoint. A detailed discussion of this collaborative work and the advantages and disadvantages of such an approach is discussed.

Abstract:
This paper describes the pre-training approach using research projects to get the in-coming mechanical engineering undergraduate student jump started for their four years of college career. We used a robotics research project to go through the full engineering design lifecycle, including (a) brain-storming, (b) feasibility studies, (c) building simple models for evaluation, and (d) engineering/construction. With the help of the mentors, the approach has effectively involved the students to identify potential problems and solve them effectively during the execution of the projects. The resulting constructed robotic delivery truck is a mathematically interesting problem that will be solved as a research problem.

Full text
Abstract:
A lack or limited availability for parking may have multiple consequences, not the least of which is driver frustration, congestion, and air pollution. However, there is a greater problem that is not widely recognized by the public, namely the negative effect on the use of transit systems due to insufficient parking spaces close to key transit stations. Automated parking management systems, which have been successfully deployed in several European and Japanese cities, can manage parking needs at transit stations more effectively than other alternatives. Numerous studies have confirmed that quick and convenient automobile access to park-and-ride lots can be essential to making public transit competitive with the automobile in suburban areas. Automated parking systems use a robotic platform that carries each vehicle to one of the locations in a custom designed structure. Each location is designed compactly so that considerably more vehicles can be parked in the automated garages than the traditional parking lots. Central to the design of these systems are three key technologies, namely: 1. Mechanical design and the operation of vehicle transfer, i.e., the robotic platform 2. Structural and architectural requirements to meet safety and earthquake standards, among other design imperatives, 3. Automation and intelligent control issues as related to the overall operation and system engineering. This article concerns the first technology, and more specifically the design of the robotic platform for vehicle transfers. We will outline the overall design of the robot and the shuttle, followed by a description of the prototype that was developed in our laboratories. Subsequently, performance related issues and scalability of the current design will be analyzed.

Full text
Abstract:
New technological trends, such as digitization, artificial intelligence and robotics, have the power to drastically increase economic output but may also displace workers. In this paper we assess the risk of automation for female and male workers in four Latin American countries Bolivia, Chile, Colombia and El Salvador. Our study is the first to apply a task-based approach with a gender perspective in this region. Our main findings indicate that men are more likely than women to perform tasks linked to the skills of the future, such as STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), information and communications technology, management and communication, and creative problem-solving tasks. Women thus have a higher average risk of automation, and 21% of women vs. 19% of men are at high risk (probability of automation greater than 70%). The differential impacts of the new technological trends for women and men must be assessed in order to guide the policy-making process to prepare workers for the future. Action should be taken to prevent digital transformation from worsening existing gender inequalities in the labor market.
