Abstract:
Low-cost robotics, fully integrated in the corporate IT infrastructure, is a requirement in the era of modern industrial automation derived from the Industry 4.0 model. This paper presents a multidisciplinary robotics-based learning (R-BL) project consisting of the development of a modular control architecture and a gripper for small manipulators. The solution, as compared with options available in the current robotic market, is a balance between low-cost devices with industrial robot performance. The project is carried out as part of the Robotics and Mechanisms program, a course in the automation engineering degree program at the University of Brescia in Italy. A 4-axis small-size robot, able to manipulate many kinds of objects, was designed and built by a student team by integrating the controller and the gripper. The controller was implemented using a real-time Raspberry platform by following a modular design concept. The control software is characterized by a short development time. The gripper was advanced to achieve low cost and modularity tradeoffs.

Abstract:
Commercial shipbuilding is surviving and prospering in mature high-labor-cost countries even under intense competition from low-labor-cost countries. Prospering shipyards are investing in robotic automation to increase productivity and worker added value. Robot welders are producing higher quality ships for as little as $1 per hour. It is projected that U.S. shipyards must also use robots in order to successfully compete in commercial world markets. This paper describes how the Technology Reinvestment Project (TRP) on Shipbuilding Robotics is leveraging advanced robotic technology to provide low-cost robotics for U.S. shipyard automation. The TRP is described, economic analysis methods for robot welding are presented, and factors for successful implementation of robotics are discussed. A case study of a successful shipyard gantry robot implementation is reported.

Abstract:
This paper shows the potential of a Lego™-based low-cost commercial robotic platform for learning and testing prototypes in higher education and research. The overall set-up aims to explain mobile robotic issues, including mechatronics, robotics and automatic control theory. The capabilities and limitations of Lego robots are studied within two experiments: the first shows how to eliminate a number of restrictions in Lego robots using some programming alternatives; the second addresses the complex problem of multi-position control. Algorithms and their additional tools have been fully designed, applied and documented, and the results are shown throughout the paper. The platform was found to be suitable for teaching and researching key issues related to the aforementioned fields.

Abstract:
This paper presents a robotic platform, PiBot, which was developed to improve the teaching of robotics with vision to secondary students. Its computational core is the Raspberry Pi 3 controller board, and the greatest novelty of this prototype is the support developed for the powerful camera mounted on board, the PiCamera. An open software infrastructure written in Python language was implemented so that the student may use this camera as the main sensor of the robotic platform. Furthermore, higher-level commands were provided to enhance the learning outcome for beginners. In addition, a PiBot 3D printable model and the counterpart for the Gazebo simulator were also developed and fully supported. They are publicly available so that students and schools without the physical robot or that cannot afford to obtain one, can nevertheless practice, learn and teach Robotics using these open platforms: DIY-PiBot and/or simulated-PiBot.

Abstract:
Vision devices are currently one of the most widely used sensory elements in robots: commercial autonomous cars and vacuum cleaners, for example, have cameras. These vision devices can provide a great amount of information about robot surroundings. However, platforms for robotics education usually lack such devices, mainly because of the computing limitations of low cost processors. New educational platforms using Raspberry Pi are able to overcome this limitation while keeping costs low, but extracting information from the raw images is complex for children. This paper presents an open source vision system that simplifies the use of cameras in robotics education. It includes functions for the visual detection of complex objects and a visual memory that computes obstacle distances beyond the small field of view of regular cameras. The system was experimentally validated using the PiCam camera mounted on a pan unit on a Raspberry Pi-based robot. The performance and accuracy of the proposed vision system was studied and then used to solve two visual educational exercises: safe visual navigation with obstacle avoidance and person-following behavior.

This thesis presents the findings of exploratory research in low-cost compliant robotics. The most heavily leveraged trade-off is that of mechanical precision for computational power, with the hope that the price of future computation will continue to fall exponentially while the expected price of precision mechanical parts will remain relatively constant. The most novel contribution of this research is the Torsionally Compliant Elastomer Joint (TCEJ) which allows for compliance and sensing in a very small package while using extremely inexpensive components. Computational modeling of hysteresis, signal compression, and backlash are also explored to compensate for the non-idealities often found in cheap mechanical parts. Three proof-of-concept systems are described along with a set of experiments used to test their capabilities. Finally, future work is proposed that will likely shape the next generation of low-cost compliant robotics.

Abstract:
Electroencephalography (EEG) was formerly confined to clinical and research settings with the necessary hardware costing thousands of dollars. In the last five years a number of companies have produced simple electroencephalograms, priced below $300 and available direct to consumers. These have stirred the imaginations of enthusiasts and brought the prospects of "thought-controlled" devices ever closer to reality. While these new devices were largely targeted at video games and toys, active research on enabling people suffering from debilitating diseases to control wheelchairs was being pursued. A number of neurochairs have come to fruition offering a truly hands-free mobility solution, but whether these results could be replicated with emerging low cost products, and thus become a viable option for more people is an open question. This thesis examines existing research in the field of EEG-based assistive technologies, puts current consumer-grade hardware to the test, and explores the possibility of a system designed from the ground up to be only a fraction of the cost of currently completed research prototypes.

Abstract:
The use of multiple robots for exploration holds the promise of improved performance over single robot systems. To exploit effectively the advantage of having several robots, the robots must be co-ordinated which requires communication. Previous research relies on a fixed communication network topology, a single lead explorer, and flat communication. This thesis presents a novel architecture to keep a group of robots as a single connected and adaptable communication network to explore and map the environment. This architecture, BERODE (BEhavioural ROle DEcentralized), aims to be robust, efficient and scalable to large numbers of robots. The network is adaptable, the number of explorers variable, and communications hierarchical (local/global). The network is kept connected by an MST (Minimum Spanning Tree) control network, a subnetwork containing only the minimum necessary links to be a fully connected network. As the robots explore, the MST control network is updated either partially (local network) or globally to improve signal quality. The local network for a robot is formed by the robots that are within a certain retransmission distance in the MST control network. BERODE implements a hierarchic approach to distributing information to improve scalability with respect to the number of robots. The robots share information at two levels: frequently within their local network and less frequently to the entire robot network. The robots coordinate by assuming behaviours depending on their connections in the MST control network. The behavioural roles balance between the tasks of exploration and network maintenance where the Explorer role is the most focused on the exploration task. This improves efficiency by allowing varying number of robots to take the Explorer role depending on circumstances. The roles generate reactive plans that ensure the connectivity of the network. These plans are based on the imposition of heterogeneous virtual spring forces. Our simulations show that BERODE is more efficient, scalable and robust with respect to communications than the previous approaches that rely on fixed control networks. BERODE is more efficient because it required less time to build a complete map of the environment than the fixed control networks. BERODE is more scalable because it keeps the robots as a single connected network for more time than the fixed control networks. BERODE is more robust because it has a better success rate at finishing the exploration.

Abstract:
Stereo vision uses two adjacent cameras to create a 3D image of the world. A depth map can be created by comparing the offset of the corresponding pixels from the two cameras. However, for real-time stereo vision, the image data needs to be processed at a reasonable frame rate. Real-time stereo vision allows for mobile robots to more easily navigate terrain and interact with objects by providing both the images from the cameras and the depth of the objects. Fortunately, the image processing can be parallelized in order to increase the processing speed. Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are highly parallelizable and lend themselves well to this problem. This thesis presents a stereo vision module which uses the Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD) algorithm. The SAD algorithm uses regions of pixels called windows to compare pixels to find matching pairs for determining depth. Two implementations are presented that utilize the SAD algorithm differently. The first implementation uses a 9x9 window for comparison and is able to process 4 pixels simultaneously. The second implementation uses a 7x7 window and processes 2 pixels simultaneously, but parallelizes each SAD algorithm for faster processing. The 9x9 implementation creates a better depth image with less noise, but the 7x7 implementation processes images at a higher frame rate. It has been shown through simulation that the 9x9 and 7x7 are able to process an image size of 640x480 at a frame rate of 15.73 and 29.32, respectively.

Abstract:
Robotics is often viewed as a complex high-tech area that can be applied to improve productivity but only at a high cost to the organization. Contrary to this frame of mind, robotic applications can be implemented by average-sized organizations at a relatively low cost with low complexity. As part of the senior design project activities at Lake Superior State University, an automotive parts supplier submitted a project involving the redesign of a manual machine tending process. The company, which manufactures tie rods, has a process where an operator tediously loads and unloads tie rods to and from two machines in a dirty and dangerous environment. A flexible system to automate the machine loading process was considered and will be proposed. The flexible automated system will include a parts feeder for orienting the tie rods into a single position and a robot for picking and placing the tie rods into the machines. The end-of-arm tooling for the robot and the parts feeder will be designed to handle different varieties of tie rods. The automated system flexibility will allow the robot, which will be mounted on a track, to be conveniently re-positioned away from the machines when needed. By doing so, the machines can be run in the manual mode for unusual tie rod part varieties using an operator to tend the machines. In addition to presenting an uncomplicated robotics solution to the problem, this paper will show that by incorporating the proposed automation ideas, the hardware costs to implement the flexible robotics system will be under $100,000. This is a relatively low cost for an average-sized company, considering automation.

Abstract:
The aerospace manufacturing industry is, in many ways, one of the most sophisticated commercial manufacturing systems in existence. It uses cutting-edge materials to build highly complex, safety-critical structures and parts. However, it still relies largely upon human skill and dexterity during assembly. There are increasing efforts to introduce automation, but uptake is still relatively low. Why is this and what needs to be done? Some may point to part size or the need for accuracy. However, as with any complex issue, the problems are multifactorial. There are no right or wrong answers to the automation conundrum and indeed there are many contradictions and unsettled aspects still to be resolved. Unsettled Issues on the Viability and Cost-Effectiveness of Automation in Aerospace Manufacturing builds a comprehensive picture of industry views and attitudes backed by technical analysis to answer some of the most pressing questions facing robotic aerospace manufacturing.
