Book excerpt: This small, non-contact optical sensor increases the capability and flexibility of computer controlled machines by detecting its relative position to a workpiece in all six degrees of freedom (DOF). At a fraction of the cost, it is over 200 times faster and up to 25 times more accurate than competing 3-DOF sensors. Applications range from flexible manufacturing to a 6-DOF mouse for computers. Until now, highly agile and accurate machines have been limited by their inability to adjust to changes in their tasks. By enabling them to sense all six degrees of position, these machines can now adapt to new and complicated tasks without human intervention or delay--simplifying production, reducing costs, and enhancing the value and capability of flexible manufacturing.

Download or read book Six Degree of Freedom Optical Sensor for Dynamic Measurement of Linear Axes written by Jeremy John Kroll and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an effort to reduce the error characterization time of linear axes, a six degree of freedom optical sensor has been developed. The sensor consists of a fixed source and a small moving target. The sensor uses a 5 kHz sample rate to allow dynamic, simultaneous measurement of all six degrees of freedom. The moving element is purely optical, scales with beam size and can easily be reduced in size to a 25 mm cube that weighs approximately 50 grams. Using a stabilized helium-neon laser source, the current system has a linear displacement resolution of 153 nm. The straightness resolution, with 0.4 meters between the source and the lateral effect photodiode, is 250 nm. This corresponds to a resolution for pitch and yaw of 1.25 (mu)radians. With the current available laser input power, the theoretical resolution of the roll measurement is 2 (mu)radians. The majority of machine tools and coordinate measuring machines used today consist of stacked linear axes. In order to obtain three dimensional controlled motion, machines typically have three nominally linear axes. To increase the accuracy of these machines, high accuracy characterization tools, such as the one developed in this research, are used to measure errors along the axes of motion. These measured errors are then used to compensate the motion of the machine.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the evaluation of a fully compatible and operational data acquisition system for a six-degrees of freedom optical sensor (SixDOF). The SixDOF, developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory by Charles Vann, is capable of tracking an object's position in all its six degrees of freedom without any datum specification by means of two reflective surfaces mounted on the object. To make the SixDOF operational and thus validate its underlying physics, a signal processing system has been designed so that information from the sensor is transferred accurately and efficiently to a computer. In addition, a six-degrees of freedom positioning stage has been built in efforts to calibrate the sensor in real time. A crucial design constraint is the necessity to build the complete data acquisition system so that it be small and most importantly portable. The prototype of the SixDOF system proved to be capable of crudely detecting changes in the position of an object in all six spatial degrees of freedom. An accuracy of around 0.5 mm is estimated presently even though the position of the two reflectors on the object is seen to significantly influence the accuracy of the sensor. The resolution of the sensor is not quite understood yet because of uncertainties in the actual spot size of the laser, however, field of the view has been seen to increase as the resolution decreases. The decoupling (calibration) of the sensor data proved to be rather successful although some coupling still exists. This coupling, however, is almost certain to come from the crudeness in the alignment of the optics within the sensor.

Download or read book Sensors and GPS for Drones and Quadcopters written by Roland Büchi and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning, the development of quadcopters and drones has been strongly influenced by sensors in combination with microprocessors. These flight systems would not be feasible without sensors, because gyros, acceleration sensors and inertial measurement units, for example, are absolutely necessary to make them fly. These are used for axis control. Others, such as the electronic compass, the air pressure sensor or GPS, make control considerably easier for the pilot. Together with sophisticated software, additional sensors such as ultrasonic, infrared or cameras allow additional functions such as automated take-offs and landings, obstacle detection or object tracing. All these sensors and their physical principles are explained in this booklet and their use and possibilities in quadrocopters and drones are discussed.

Book excerpt: This volume contains papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on "Sensors and Sensory Systems for Advanced Robots", which was held in Maratea, Italy, during the week Apri I 28 - May 3, 1986. Participants in the ARW, who came from eleven NATO and two non-NATO countries, represented an i nternat i ona I assortment of d i st i ngu i shed research centers in industry, government and academia. Purpose of the Workshop was to rev i ew the state of the art of sensing for advanced robots, to discuss basic concepts and new ideas on the use of sensors for robot control and to provide recommendations for future research in this area, There IS an almost unanimous consensus among invest i gators in the fie I d of robot i cs that the add i t i on of sensory capabi I ities represents the "natural" evolution of present industrial robots, as wei I as the necessary premise to the development of advanced robots for nonindustrial app I i cat ions. However, a number of conceptua I and techn i ca I problems sti I I challenge the practical implementation and widespread appl ication of sensor-based robot control techn i ques.

Download or read book Interaction Control of Robot Manipulators written by Ciro Natale and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-09-05 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robot interaction control is one of the most challenging targets for industrial robotics. While it would provide the robotic systems with a high degree of autonomy, its effectiveness is limited by the complexity of this problem and by the necessity of special sensors (six-dof force sensors). On the other hand, the control methodologies to be adopted for addressing this problem can be considered mature and well-assessed. All the known interaction control strategies (e.g. impedance, direct force control) are tackled and reshuffled in a geometrically consistent way for simplification of the task specification and enhancement of the execution performance. This book represents the first step towards the application of theoretical results at an industrial level; in fact each proposed control algorithm is experimentally tested here on an industrial robotic setup.
