Abstract:
Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2005.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 63-64).<br>This thesis describes the Mechnet system, which was created to test an implementation of analogy-based reasoning about mechanical engineering, focusing on tools and machines that would be found in a shop. Mechnet uses common-sense data about how these things are used and what they are made of, and attempts to judge which objects are similar to each other. The goal was to make "sensible" analogies about things, in that they make sense to a human who

Moreover, dexterous robots with the ability to reason about the maneuvers they execute for manipulation tasks can function more autonomously and intelligently. This thesis outlines the development of a reasoning architecture that uses physics-, social-, and agent capability-based knowledge t

Abstract:
This work addressed the ongoing attempt for establishing a reliable yet simple system for the detection of tool wear and chatter in vertical milling machines. For this reason, a simple closed-loop system that utilizes wireless sensors, a dynamometer replacement and an artificial intelligence system for signal processing were designed. Various signal analysis techniques were applied to real force signal information containing chatter and wear to determine if they were suitable instruments for detection of such unwanted disturbances. An Index Based Reasoner (IBR) was proposed as a solution for o

Monekosso, Ndedi. "On-board reasoning for an autonomous spacecraft." Thesis, University of Surrey, 1999. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/844249/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis describes a framework for the high level control of an autonomous unmanned spacecraft. Greater autonomy than currently exist is required for unmanned spacecraft to enable missions to distant planets and bodies. One reason for this is that the signal return time is too long to accommodate real-time control from the ground. A second reason is that spacecraft travelling to bodies where little is known of the environment (e.g. asteroids) must have the capability to respond to unplanned events. In addition, autonomy can help reduce mission operations costs, a very important factor in th

Abstract:
My work is broadly concerned with the question "How can designs bessynthesized computationally?" The project deals primarily with mechanical devices and focuses on pre-parametric design: design at the level of detail of a blackboard sketch rather than at the level of detail of an engineering drawing. I explore the project ideas in the domain of single-input single-output dynamic systems, like pressure gauges, accelerometers, and pneumatic cylinders. The problem solution consists of two steps: 1) generate a schematic description of the device in terms of idealized functional element
