Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the problem of sensors used with mobile robots. Firstly, a colour sensor is considered, for its ability to detect objects having the three primary colours Red, Green and Blue (RGB). Secondly, an accelerometer was investigated, from which velocity was derived from the raw data using numerical integration. The purpose of the design and development of the sensors was to use them for robotic navigation and collision avoidance. This report presents the results of experiments carried out on the colour sensor and the accelerometer. A discussion of the results and some conclusions are also presented. It proved feasible to achieve the goal of detecting colours successfully but only for a limited distance. The accelerometer proved reliable but is not yet being applied in real time. Both the colour sensor and the accelerometer proved to be inexpensive. Some recommendations are made to improve both the colour sensor and the accelerometer sensors.

Detta projekt åsyftade att möjliggöra för en industrirobot att illustrera godtyckliga digitalabilder på en plan yta. Detta uppnåddes genom att utrusta en manipulator med ett ritverktyg. Genom digital bildbehandling så kunde rörelsemönster genereras vilka matades till industriroboten för att den skulle kunna återskapa den digitala versionen. Roboten ritar med en teknik benämnd pointillism som innebär att endast punkter plottas. Resultatet blir en konkret svartvit representation av originalbilden. Projektet genomfördes på institutionen Industriell Produktion på Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan. Projektet är i sin natur väldigt inriktat på forskning och utveckling eftersom det går ut på skapandet av en teknik för att uppnå ett tydligt mål. Kontinuerlig utveckling var kopplat till målet för att förbättra resultatet från olika aspekter.<br>This project strived to enable an industrial robot to illustrate arbitrary digitized images on a planar surface.

The project was carried out in the Production Engineering facilities at the Royal Institute of Technology. The nature of the project is very research and development oriented as it deals with the creation of a technology to achieve an explicit goal. Continuous development was related to the goal to improve the result from different aspects.

Opetussuunnitelmauudistuksen myötä on vuoden 2014 perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelman perusteisiin sisällytetty ohjelmoinnin opetus. Ohjelmoinnin opetuksen perusteena on pidetty oppilaiden ongelmanratkaisutaitojen kehittämistä ja tulevaisuudessa tarvittavien taitojen kartuttamista. Se, miten ohjelmoinnin opetus tullaan opetusryhmäkohtaisesti toteuttamaan, riippuu pitkälti paikallisten opetussuunnitelmien sisällöstä ja opettajan tekemistä valinnoista opetuksen järjestämiseksi. Tällä Pro Gradu -tutkimuksella on selvitetty, miten robotiikan aihepiiriin sisällytetty ohjelmointi vastaa ongelmanratkaisuprosessia, sekä millaisia didaktisia haasteita on hyvä huomioida opetuksen suunnittelussa, kun ohjelmoinnin opetukseen käytetään robotiikan aihepiiriä.
Tässä tutkimuksessa on käytetty kvalitatiivista tutkimusotetta ja fenomenografista tutkimusstrategiaa. Tutkimusaineisto on kerätty teemahaastattelulla. Haastateltavina ovat olleet Oulun yliopiston kasvatustieteen tiedekunnan luokanopettajakoulutuksen teknisen työn sivuaineopiskelijat (N=5), jotka ovat osallistuneet robotiikkakurssille. Haastattelussa he ovat reflektoineet omakohtaista robotin ohjelmointiprosessiaan teemahaastattelussa esitettyjen kysymysten kautta. Tutkimustulokset ovat muodostettu haastateltavien käsityksiä systemaattisesti analysoiden.
Tutkimuksessa havaittiin robotin ohjelmointiprosessin olevan verrattavissa ongelmanratkaisuprosessiin. Mikäli ohjelmoinnin opetus järjestetään käyttäen robotiikan aihepiiriä, on opetuksen suunnittelussa kiinnitettävä huomiota didaktisiin haasteisiin, jotka muodostuvat sekä ohjelmointiprosessiin liittyvistä ohjelmoinnillisista ja ympäristöllisistä seikoista että oppilaaseen kohdistuvista kognitiivisiin vaatimuksista.

Full textAbstract:
Industrial robot programs are usually created with the programming language that the manufacturer provides. These languages are often limited to cover the common usages within the industry. However, when a more advanced program is needed, then third-party programs are often used to, e.g., locating objects using vision systems, applying correct force with force torque sensors, etc. Instead of using both the language of the robot and third-party programs to create more advanced programs, it is preferable to have one system that can fully control the robot. Such systems exist, e.g., Robot Operating System (ROS), Yet Another Robot Language (YARP), etc. These systems require more time to fully set up, but once they are set up supposedly they can be used for a lot of different applications and can be used on several industrial robots from different manufacturers. Currently, University of Skövde have robots from Universal Robots (UR) with several peripheral equipment which has limited control because the built-in language does not support it. Therefore, they need help with both investigating which robot system could be used and implementing that robot system. This thesis will prove the suitability of using ROS to control aforesaid hardware, fulfilling all the requirements. It will be also demonstrated the feasibility of ROS in the long-term, according to the future plans for this equipment in University of Skövde.

The gelsight tactile sensor designed in MIT CSAIL is able to reconstruct the surface topography of objects up to submicron accuracy. This thesis is focused on the integration of the gelsight tactile sensor into the MIT Team's gripper for the 2017 Amazon Robotics Challenge. The design of the sensor is dependent on the three manipulation primitives in the gripper platform: scooping, grasping, and suction. This paper discusses the primitives and the sensory inputs they would require to create more precise manipulation models. We then propose a gelsight tactile sensor around those primitives, creating a design that can recover shear, deflection, compliance, and contact area information. Lastly, we implement some of the image processing to recover deflection by creating a mapping between image points and ground truth vicon values, producing an 75% accuracy rate within a distance threshold, a value that can be improved with increased measurements and better image processing techniques. Further work focuses on image processing for shear, compliance, and contact area, to be integrated into the overall design for the 2017 ARC gripper.<br>by Melody Grace Liu.<br>S.B.

During the project a drawing robot iscreated and two different controllers are implemented andtested PD and PID. The implementation shows that PDcontrol is not working for this application. Therefore, PIDcontrol is the most suitable. Experiments are set up tomeasure the drawing accuracy using the PID-controller. Adrawing accuracy of ±11mm is achieved by the robot. Theachieved accuracy is a result depending on several factors,for instance the resolution of the potentiometers.<br>En ritande robot kräver en precis styrning och hög noggrannhet.

Under projektets gång skapas en ritande robot och två olika regulatorer testas och implementeras, PD- och PID-regulatorn. Implementeringen visar att en PD-regulator inte fungerar för denna applikation. PID-regulatorn är därför den lämpligaste. Experiment utförs med PID-regulatorn implementerad för att mäta den noggrannhet som roboten ritar med. Roboten uppnår en noggrannhet på ±11mm. Den uppnådda noggrannheten är ett resultat beroende av flera faktorer, bland annat upplösningen på potentiometrarna.

Full textAbstract:
Granular jamming is a phenomenon where discrete granules can transition their macro behavior between a fluid-like and a solid-like state. In the context of soft robotics, this thesis examines granular jamming in three key aspects. The first aspect investigates the modeling of the granule behavior as it is jammed and unjammed. A simplified model was developed where the macro stiffness of the granules in different states is encompassed in one variable, E. In an engineering context, the usage of this one variable enables structures of different types to be quantitatively compared. The second aspect investigates the structure of mechanisms using granule jamming. For the granules, experiments were performed on different shapes, sizes, and materials. The results show that there can be a significant change in the stiffness range and profile when a parameter of the granule is changed. The properties of the membrane holding the granules and properties of the interparticle fluid were also studied for their affect on the behavior of the stiffnesses. For the membrane, the boundary layer applying the external stress, different materials and designs were found to have as much as a significant impact as changing granule type. For the interparticle fluid, the effects of air and water as the inter-granule fluid were compared, which showed that there is no significant difference between the stiffness range. However, the use of water can shrink the transition region between the fluid-like and solid-like states of granular behavior. While this smaller transition region limits the tunability of compliance for a granular jamming mechanism, it gives the added benefit of requiring less volume of fluid to create vacuum, due to the incompressibility to water. This effectively untethers granular jamming mechanisms from cumbersome vacuum pumps, a key step in mobilizing the technology in the context of robotics. Lastly, this thesis focuses on the aspect of control for granular jamming. This encompasses the development of granular jamming-based actuators and the control of those actuators though impedance control.

Full textAbstract:
Hearing loss is a common impairment or disability for human beings, and is impacting an increasing amount of people, augmented by the growing aging population around the globe. Cochlear implantation, as one of the most effective ways to restore hearing, can only applied to profoundly deaf patients at the moment. In order to expand the group of people who can benefit from cochlear implantation to those with less severe hearing loss, endeavours need to be made to best preserve residual hearing and minimise trauma induced during cochlear implantation surgery. In this thesis, the disturbance induced in the cochlea, i.e. the acoustic and mechanical energy transmitted into the cochlea, during cochleostomy drilling is studied - as well as establishing a comparison between a manually guided conventional technique and a manually supported tissue guided robotic drilling technique. The results show that by changing surgical techniques and how they are applied can have a significant impact on levels of disturbance induced - robotic-aided approach induced lower level of equivalent SPL for up to 86% of the time and can be as much as 39 dB lower than that generated by conventional surgical drilling. This work is timely because trauma is an important consideration to clinicians and health care providers. Cochleostomy is one of the major and most disruptive surgical process during cochlear implantation. With the increasing amount of cochlear implant electrode array designs that are shorter and less intrusive, and the increasing demand of electric-acoustic stimulation via cochlear implant to better resemble the human auditory system, the approach to reduce disruption during cochleostomy drilling is highly relevant to the progression in the hearing care industry and the benefits of the growing hearing impairment community.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, we study the topic of Lifelong Robotic Object Perception. We propose, as a long-term goal, a framework to recognize known objects and to discover unknown objects in the environment as the robot operates, for as long as the robot operates. We build the foundations for Lifelong Robotic Object Perception by focusing our study on the two critical components of this framework: 1) how to recognize and register known objects for robotic manipulation, and 2) how to automatically discover novel objects in the environment so that we can recognize them in the future.
Our work on Object Recognition and Pose Estimation addresses two main challenges in computer vision for robotics: robust performance in complex scenes, and low latency for real-time operation. We present MOPED, a framework for Multiple Object Pose Estimation and Detection that integrates single-image and multi-image object recognition and pose estimation in one optimized, robust, and scalable framework. We extend MOPED to leverage RGBD images using an adaptive image-depth fusion model based on maximum likelihood estimates. We incorporate this model to each stage of MOPED to achieve object recognition robust to imperfect depth data.
In Robotic Object Discovery, we address the challenges of scalability and robustness for long-term operation. As a first step towards Lifelong Robotic Object Perception, we aim to automatically process the raw video stream of an entire workday of a robotic agent to discover novel objects. The key to achieve this goal is to incorporate non-visual information| robotic metadata|in the discovery process. We encode the natural constraints and nonvisual sensory information in service robotics to make long-term object discovery feasible. We introduce an optimized implementation, HerbDisc, that processes a video stream of 6 h 20 min of challenging human environments in under 19 min and discovers 206 novel objects.
We tailor our solutions to the sensing capabilities and requirements in service robotics, with the goal of enabling our service robot, HERB, to operate autonomously in human environments.

Abderrahim, Mohamed. "Modelling of robotic manipulators." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1996. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/2151/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the different aspects of robotic manipulator modelling and covers both the dynamic and the kinematic issues for the purpose of improving the overall manipulator accuracy. It is shown that the modelling should not stop at producing the model, but rather the model should be validated. The thesis presents a description of the modelling process and examines the three most important formulations for dynamic modelling. A comparison of their performance and ease of use is made, both for manual and computer assisted implementation. Three commercial computer modelling packages are also described and compared with regard to their performance and ease of use for robotic manipulator modelling. It is shown that some software development is required to make the packages easy to use for manipulator specific modelling. As part of this work, one such development was a programme written as a back end to AUTOLEV. This combination provides a powerful tool for dynamic modelling and simulation of manipulators. A more integrated computer aided engineering approach is also discussed through modelling a large industrial manipulator using a geometric modelling package along with another dynamic modelling and simulation program. This approach is very efficient in providing useful information which is difficult to otherwise obtain from direct measurements. The thesis emphasises validation as part of the modelling process. A model does not have to be an exact mathematical description of the manipulator, inclusive of all characteristics, but rather a valid description for the intended use. It is shown that a manipulator model can be split into several joint models and validation performed on each using a parameter estimation technique. It is also shown that friction parameter tuning produces acceptable parameter values for a valid model of a Puma 560 manipulator.

Jermak, H. E. "Robotic polarimetry of blazars." Thesis, Liverpool John Moores University, 2017. http://researchonline.ljmu.ac.uk/5462/.
Full textAbstract:
The motivation of this thesis was the study of radio-loud, active galaxies. These galaxies house relativistic jets at their centres, powered by accretion onto a super massive black hole. The focus was on the optical flux and polarised emission produced by these powerful jets. An automated pipeline was developed to reduce data from the Liverpool Telescope Ringo2 and Ringo3 polarimeters. As part of this work, the Ringo3 instrumental polarisation and depolarisation were characterised by repeated observations of standard stars. The Ringo2 and Ringo3 optical polarimetry and photometry of a sample of 20 gamma-ray bright blazars were combined with Fermi gamma-ray space telescope data and were used to explore possible correlations and thus probe the emission sites in the jet. We found that optical and gamma-ray fluxes had strong, positive correlations. This suggests that the dominant source of optical and gamma-ray emission is from shared emission regions. If the Inverse Compton model is adopted to explain the gamma-ray emission (i.e. upscattering of photons by relativistic electrons), this correlation suggests that synchrotron self-Compton emission processes are occurring in the jet, along with inverse Compton upscattering from nearby electrons (rather than those outside the jet). The gamma-ray flux and optical degree of polarisation were not significantly correlated. The optical flux and degree of polarisation were weakly positively correlated (with correlations that did not improve with an introduced lag). Both of these results imply that there is no large scale highly ordered magnetic field in the region where the gamma-ray emission originates. We found that the maximum degree of polarisation differs depending on the location of the source's synchrotron-peak. This may be a result of the viewing angle of the observer with respect to the jet. This suggests that the majority of optical polarisation is produced in shocked regions within the jet, downstream of the main emission region. We found that the degree of polarisation was lower during a period of polarisation angle rotation compared with a period of non-rotation. This implies that the downstream magnetic field structure is either helical or compressed in a direction transverse to that of the jet. Consistent with other work, our Ringo3 colour analysis showed that, with the exception of one source, flat spectrum radio quasars had a `redder' when brighter property. This suggests that when the source is more luminous, the jet (i.e. non-thermal) emission dominates over the thermal emission from the accretion disk (which is powerful in FSRQs). We found that BL~Lacs had a `bluer' when brighter behaviour, suggesting that the brighter emission may come from more energetic photons within the jet. We presented data from our long-term, multi-colour, blazar monitoring campaign. We found that all but one source had a `redder' polarisation when the polarisation was higher. This implies that the highest polarisation is associated with higher densities of lower energy particles in the jet. Well-sampled, regular cadence data is very important for the effective study and interpretation of blazars. This is particularly crucial for the interpretation of the position angle rotations, which can afford information about the electric vector angle (and hence the magnetic field angle). In this work, we presented the design of a new multicolour polarimeter, MOPTOP. The optical components in MOPTOP allow as much of the light from the source to be exploited as possible by replacing the rotating Polaroid (from the Ringo polarimeter design) with a rotating half-wave plate and beam splitter. MOPTOP's design minimises exposure times, allowing more frequent observations and a better sampling of data. A densely sampled monitoring program that is not interrupted by periods of sunlight would be highly desirable for the study of blazar jets.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to disseminate a novel path planner which is particularly used for offline robots to build more efficient collision-free trajectories in terms of the length in more skilled fashion. Robotic path planning as one of the most important problems has been under investigation by a variety of researchers within the last few decades. Path planner refers to a unit which is responsible to perform a series of operations on the robots’ environment with the sole purpose of building proper trajectories from a start point to the goal configuration. A robot’s planner generally consists of some or all of the following units: analyzing the workspace, mapping the workspace into an alternative methodology such as a graph, optimizing the constructed map, and calculating and refining the desired trajectory. Various path planners have been proposed based on the different robots’ functionalities as well as the environmental specifications. A path planner basically uses a methodology inspiring a scientific theory or event to build optimal paths. This research tends to propose a novel path planner which is able to be successfully applied on a variety of workspaces with different constraints. Moreover, the presented planner successfully builds the shortest collision-free trajectories from an initial to the goal configurations. In addition, compared to the other majority of path planners, the illustrated path planner uses less environmental global information to build optimal paths. This leads the planner unit to allocate less of system resources such as memory, hence, increasing the performance of the planner in terms of preserving more system resources.

Full textAbstract:
In industrial production, automatization is a common concept utilized in a range of applications where time dependency is a key factor. The robotic arm is one of the tools applied in the area and its extension, such as a robotic claw, affects the execution and the accuracy of the robotics. This paper researches whether infrared- or ultrasonic sensors are best suited for the automation of a robotic claw, created out of 3D-printing and wooden material; in terms of time delay and object-size prediction. With help of a simple physical model and a sphere in motion the resulting time delay could be determined to be larger in ultrasonic sensors, while both were unable to provide accurate object measurement predictions. The research proved the infrared sensor better abilities in motion based automation.<br>Inom industriall produktion är automatisering ett vanligt utnyttjat koncept i ett urval applikationer där tidsberoendet är en nyckelfaktor. Robotarmen är ett av verktygen som uttnyttjas inom området och dess förlängning, såsom en robotklo, påverkar utförandet och noggrannheten hos robotiken. Den här uppsatsen undersöker huruvida infraröda- eller ultraljuds sensorer är bäst lämpade för automatisering av en robotklo, skapad via en 3D-printer och trämaterial; gällande tidsfördröjning och förutseendet av objektets storlek. Med hjälp av en simpel fysisk modell och en sfär i rörelse; kunde den resulterande tidsfödröjningen bekräftas större med ultrasonisk sensor, medan ingen utav sensorerna kunde ytföra noggranna beräkningar av objektet. Undersökningen kunde bevisa att infraröda sensorer innehar bättre egenskaper inom rörelsebaserad automation.

Visto que a cinemática inversa de braços robóticos é um problema complexo que, em geral, geram múltiplas soluções, otimizam-se, aqui, estas soluções através de algoritmos genéticos (AGs). A função de avaliação do AG tem caráter multi-objetivo, de forma a minimizar os deslocamentos angulares e obter de forma precisa a posição da garra, usando funções desenvolvidas para o ambiente Matlab, tais como, GAOT e PLANMANT, devido a sua facilidade de programação e geração de gráficos. A seguir, foram obtidos resultados através de programa desenvolvido em linguagem C, utilizando a biblioteca GAUL, e tem-se avaliado o desempenho computacional de processamento. E finalmente, para a validação experimental deste estudo, tem-se implementado este procedimento em um manipulador robótico Robix RCS-6 de configuração similar ao modelo simulado.

Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2013.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 32-33).<br>The DARPA Robotic Challenge (DRC) required the development of user interface, perception, and planning and control modules for a robotic humanoid. This paper focuses on the planning and control component for the manipulation qualification task of the virtual section of the DRC. Nonlinear algorithms were employed for the planning systems, such as the grasp optimization system and the robot state trajectory computation system. However, for closed-loop control, a linear proportional-derivative (PD) joint position controller was used. The nonlinear algorithms used for the planning systems may be improved, but their current functionality allows the successful completion of the manipulation qualification task. Also, even though PD controllers seem appropriate for the closed-loop control, PID controllers might yield a higher level of accuracy if tuned properly. In conclusion, a linear controller appears sufficient for certain control of the highly nonlinear ATLAS humanoid robot and Sandia hand as long as accurate optimization and planning systems complement such control.<br>by Cecilia G.

Full textAbstract:
The implant surgery replaces missing tooth to regain functionality and look of the normal tooth after dental operation. Improper placement of implant increases recuperation periods and reduces functionality. The aim of this thesis is to design a passive haptic robotic arm to guide dentist during the implant surgery.
In this thesis, the optimum design of the 6R passive haptic robotic arm is achieved. The methodology used in optimization problem involves minimization of end-effector side parasitic forces/torques while maximizing transparency of the haptic device. The transparency of haptic device is defined as realism of forces generated by device in real world compared to forces in virtual world. The multivariable objective function including dynamic equations of 6R robotic arm is derived and the constraints are determined using kinematic equations. The optimization problem is solved using SQP and GA. The link lengths and other relevant parameters along with the location of tool path are optimized. The end-effector parasitic torques/forces are significantly minimized. The results of two optimization techniques have proven to be nearly the same, thus a global optimum solution has been found in the search space. Main contribution of this study is to take spatial nonlinear dynamics into consideration to reduce parasitic torques.
Also, a mechanical brake is designed as a passive actuator. The mechanical brake includes a cone based braking system actuated by DC motor. Three different prototypes are manufactured to test performance of the mechanical brake. The final design indicates that the mechanical brake can be used as passive actuators.

Full textAbstract:
Mining automation has incrementally progressed from line-of-sight remote operation to teleoperation and automatic control of mobile machines, mainly due to significant advances in underground communication systems. The present trend points towards a robotic mining environment where mobile machinery and stationary equipment will be fully integrated with a mine-wide information system overseeing all aspects of mining via a communication network. The successful design and implementation of the software and hardware components necessary to realize this vision depends on the level of seamless integration achieved. The complexity involved in terms of systems functionality and coherence necessitates systems analysis and computer-aided software engineering tools to actively support this integration effort.<br>Hence, the primary objective of this thesis is to introduce and relate systems analysis concepts and tools to the business of mining. This investigation begins by setting the industrial context of this work with respect to past initiatives and future trends. It discusses different approaches to the design and implementation of mining information systems. It reviews the fundamentals of software and information engineering as well as structured and object-oriented analysis and design. It presents a survey of computerized tools for systems analysis. It then applies systems analysis concepts and tools to a high-level top-down analysis of a Mine Information System and examines a specific mining process in detail. Finally, it compares the applicability of structured versus object-oriented analysis and design methodologies to the complex problem of mining.

En esta tesis se define e implementa un modelo funcional de las áreas del cerebro involucradas en las acciones de agarre basadas en visión que incluye todos los pasos requeridos para la ejecución de un agarre satisfactorio. El modelo es fiel a la realidad biológica, pero también apropiado para su implementación en un entorno robótico real. Por tanto, siguiendo este modelo, se ha desarrollado un sistema completo de agarre robótico capaz de estimar la forma, tamaño y posición de un objeto desconocido usando datos visuales, planificar y ejecutar una acción de agarre integrando tales datos con la información proprioceptiva del estado del brazo y de la mano. Los resultados experimentales confirman que la nueva línea de investigación propuesta por esta tesis es significativa y prometedora para el agarre robótico. Además, tanto el modelado computacional como los experimentos robóticos ayudan a validar teorías sobre los mecanismos empleados por las áreas del cerebro involucradas en las acciones de agarre. Esta tesis ofrece nuevas ideas e hipótesis de investigación relacionadas con dichos mecanismos, y ayuda a establecer un marco de trabajo común para neurocientíficos y robóticos en el estudio de los mecanismos cerebrales.

Full textAbstract:
The primary aims of this research were to gain insight into control architectures of the mammalian brain and to explore how such architectures can be transferred into real-world robotic systems. Specifically, the work presented in this thesis focuses on the cerebellum, a part of the brain implicated in motor learning. Based on biologically grounded assumptions of uniformity of the cerebellar structure, one specific (but representative) example of cerebellar motor control was investigated: the mammalian vestibula-ocular reflex (VOR). During movement, animals are faced with disturbances with respect to their vision system. The VOR compensates for head motion by driving the eyes in the opposite direction of the head and thereby stabilising the image on the retina. Due to severe delays in the visual feedback signal, the VOR is required to operate as an open-loop controller, which uses proprioceptive information about head motion to instigate eye movements. As a feed-forward control system, it requires calibration to gradually learn the required motor commands. This is achieved by the cerebellum through the utilisation of the delayed visual information encoding image slip. In order to explore the suitability of a recurrent cerebellar model to achieve similar performance in a robotic context, engineering equivalents of the biological sub-systems were developed and integrated as a distributed embedded computing infrastructure. These included systems for rotation sensing, vision, actuation, stimulation and monitoring. Real-time implementations of cerebellar models were developed and then tested on two custom designed robotic eyes: one actuated with electrical motors and the other operated by pneumatic artificial muscles. It is argued that the successful transfer of cerebellar models into robotic systems implicitly validates these models by providing an existence proof in terms of structure, robust learning under noisy real- world conditions, and the functional role of the cerebellum. In addition, the gained insights from this research may be exploitable in terms of control of novel actuators in the emerging field of soft robotics. Finally, the presented architectures, including hardware and software infrastructures, provide a platform with which to explore other advanced models of brain mediated sensory-motor control interfaces.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited<br>An exoskeleton platform was developed, prototyped and tested for mobility performance in a beachfront environment. New platform, drive-train, motor-controller and wheel design were employed in the experiment. The objective was to improve on the shortcoming of previous NPS research. Three wheel-designs were tested during fixed pattern tests on grass, concrete and sand. Data suggests that, with regard to power consumption, there is a marginal difference on preferred wheel design. The sparse print round wheel showed promise in heavy vegetation; however, the WhegTM wheel proved to be the most versatile on various terrains. This suggests that a WhegTM wheel with improved round wheel characteristics would be optimal for various beachfront terrains.
