This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of robotics is clearly seen to be heading towards a world in which humans and robots can exist together safely and coherently be it in industries, households or battlefields. The primary obstacle for this harmonistic coexistence is the inability of robots to interact effectively and safely with the environment. Human machine interaction still seems to be far off until the development of effective and reliable robots that understand their environment and interact with it safely. The application of robots in industrial environments has over the last two decades received a significant impetus, such that the robots can now perform pre-programmed and repetitive low-valued tasks almost to perfection. However, the need of the hour is to make robots go beyond this level and practically start augmenting human capability and reducing human drudgery even outside the factory floor. This makes robot motion planning one of the most important areas in robotics research. Without a motion planner for manipulators and mobile robots, human operators have to constantly monitor and define their detailed motion. An automatic motion planner will relieve the operators from this tedious job and enable them to exercise control at a supervisory level. This in turn, increases efficiency by eliminating human errors. Further, path planning can be considered to be the backbone of any motion planning algorithm. An efficient path planner with added performance criteria and constraints makes an efficient motion planner. This specific research effort of developing a motion planner falls within the broader goal of developing a safety architecture that enables high performance intelligent machines that coexist and cooperate safely with other systems and humans. A large body of research in the area of robotics focuses on the path planning of mobile robots while the manipulators' ability to effectively operate autonomously in cluttered and dynamically changing environments stays relatively under explored. This work will rely on the past achievements in collision detection, obstacle avoidance and motion planning of the Robotics Research Group (RRG) at the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin). This area of research offers chances for a wide breadth of advancement in robotics as it can be applied to traditional stationary robots, both redundant and non-redundant manipulators, as well as to mobile manipulators where both the path of the manipulator itself and the path of the manipulator's mobile base must be accounted for when attempting to plan collision free paths.

Download or read book Practical Sensor based Manipulator Motion Planning in Completely Unknown Dynamic Environments written by Rayomand Soli Vatcha and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autonomous high-DOF robot manipulators working in unstructured environments has been one of the ultimate challenges in robotics research. Progress towards this goal requires advances in many domains, including manipulator motion planning in unknown and dynamic environments. Where there is relatively little work in the literature. This thesis presents a novel and practical approach to sensor-based real-time motion planning for manipulators in a completely unknown dynamic environment. The approach is implemented and tested on a real 5-DOF robot manipulator equipped with an overhead stereo vision system with good results.

Book excerpt: The vision of seamless human-robot interaction in our everyday life that allows for tight cooperation between human and robot has not become reality yet. However, the recent increase in technology maturity finally made it possible to realize systems of high integration, advanced sensorial capabilities and enhanced power to cross this barrier and merge living spaces of humans and robot workspaces to at least a certain extent. Together with the increasing industrial effort to realize first commercial service robotics products this makes it necessary to properly address one of the most fundamental questions of Human-Robot Interaction: How to ensure safety in human-robot coexistence? In this authoritative monograph, the essential question about the necessary requirements for a safe robot is addressed in depth and from various perspectives. The approach taken in this book focuses on the biomechanical level of injury assessment, addresses the physical evaluation of robot-human impacts, and isolates the major factors that cause human injuries. This assessment is the basis for the design and exploration of various measures to improve safety in human-robot interaction. They range from control schemes for collision detection, reflex reaction, and avoidance to the investigation of novel joint designs that equip robots with fundamentally new capabilities. By the depth of its analysis and exceptionally salient experimental work, this monograph offers one of the most comprehensive treatments of the safety challenge in the field.

This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 804 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to the contributions presented at the 2018 International Symposium on Experimental Robotics (ISER 2018), this book features summaries of the discussions that were held during the event in Buenos Aires, Argentina. These summaries, authored by leading researchers and session organizers, offer important insights on the issues that drove the symposium debates. Readers will find cutting-edge experimental research results from a range of robotics domains, such as medical robotics, unmanned aerial vehicles, mobile robot navigation, mapping and localization, field robotics, robot learning, robotic manipulation, human–robot interaction, and design and prototyping. In this unique collection of the latest experimental robotics work, the common thread is the experimental testing and validation of new ideas and methodologies. The International Symposium on Experimental Robotics is a series of bi-annual symposia sponsored by the International Foundation of Robotics Research, whose goal is to provide a dedicated forum for experimental robotics research. In recent years, robotics has broadened its scientific scope, deepened its methodologies and expanded its applications. However, the significance of experiments remains at the heart of the discipline. The ISER gatherings are an essential venue where scientists can meet and have in-depth discussions on robotics based on this central tenet.
