Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robot manipulators are developing more in the direction of industrial robots than of human workers. Recently, the applications of robot manipulators are spreading their focus, for example Da Vinci as a medical robot, ASIMO as a humanoid robot and so on. There are many research topics within the field of robot manipulators, e.g. motion planning, cooperation with a human, and fusion with external sensors like vision, haptic and force, etc. Moreover, these include both technical problems in the industry and theoretical problems in the academic fields. This book is a collection of papers presenting the latest research issues from around the world.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is about supervisory control, an increasingly prevalent form of man-machine system wherein a human operator controls a process as the supervisor of a computer. The computer, in turn, may perform limited automatic control or it may process and display information from sensors. The particular context of interest here is supervisory control of manipulators and vehicles for remote inspection and work in the deep ocean. After giving a more detailed definition of supervisory control and providing examples, the report reviews a number of experimental studies conducted recently at the MIT Man-Machine System Laboratory. These are divided into two groups. The first group of studies is concerned with computer mediation in command and control of manipulation. The next group of experimental studies examines computer mediation in processing sensed information and displaying it to the human supervisor. A brief conclusion reviews how these experiments fit together and speculates on problems and prospects for supervisory control in manipulation, vehicle and process control, and other areas.

This book was released on 2012-10-05 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robot manipulation is a great challenge; it encompasses versatility -adaptation to different situations-, autonomy -independent robot operation-, and dependability -for success under modeling or sensing errors. A complete manipulation task involves, first, a suitable grasp or contact configuration, and the subsequent motion required by the task. This monograph presents a unified framework by introducing task-related aspects into the knowledge-based grasp concept, leading to task-oriented grasps. Similarly, grasp-related issues are also considered during the execution of a task, leading to grasp-oriented tasks which is called framework for physical interaction (FPI). The book presents the theoretical framework for the versatile specification of physical interaction tasks, as well as the problem of autonomous planning of these tasks. A further focus is on sensor-based dependable execution combining three different types of sensors: force, vision and tactile. The FPI approach allows to perform a wide range of robot manipulation tasks. All contributions are validated with several experiments using different real robots placed on household environments; for instance, a high-DoF humanoid robot can successfully operate unmodeled mechanisms with widely varying structure in a general way with natural motions. This research was recipient of the European Georges Giralt Award and the Robotdalen Scientific Award Honorary Mention.

Download or read book Supervisory Control of Remote Manipulation with Compensation for Moving Target written by Kazuo Tani and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this project is to evaluate automatic compensation for moving targets in the supervisory control of remote manipulators. An experimental system was built which consists of a master/slave manipulator, a moving table for the moving object, and a computer controlling both the manipulator and the table. A software system was made which allows the master/slave operation with object motion compensation under computer control. The method of resolved motion rate control was adopted for the manipulator control. The computation time in this way proved practical and permitted a system sampling interval of 0.05 s. Experiments were carried out with human operators performing manipulation tasks in the master/slave operation under computer control. Their performance was compared in three situations: no object motion, compensation for the object motion, and no compensation. The comparison of the compensation and no compensation situations showed that the compensation reduced the operation time by 26 - 41% in the peg moving task and increased the accuracy by two and a half times in rectangle tracing. In valve turning, however, a significant improvement was not observed. Thus, it can be concluded that the compensation for target motion can improve the performance of the human operator significantly in certain kinds of tasks. (Author).

This book was released on 1966 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long term aim of this work is the modeling of the process by which the human commands and controls a real-time information system containing automatic subroutines which may be used to accomplish portions of the task. Remote manipulation is believed to have all the typical attributes of such a system yet be simple enough to be amenable to laboratory investigation. This report describes a computer simulation of a remote manipulation task and rate-controlled manipulator; into the latter was built some low-level automatic decision making ability which could be used at the operator's discretion to augment his direct continuous control. Under experimental investigation were the effect of transmission delay, dynamic lag and intermittent vision on human manipulative ability. This report describes further experiments in which the operator called in sequence various on-site automatic control programs of the machine, and thereby acted as a supervisor. The results suggest that the supervisory mode of operation has some advantages when the task to be performed is difficult for a human controlling directly. Results show the supervisory mode to require more training than the direct mode.

Aristotle Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty. Albert Einstein The second most important job in the world, second only to being a good parent, is being a good teacher. S.G. Ellis The fast technological changes and the resulting shifts of market conditions require the development and use of educational methodologies and opportunities with moderate economic demands. Currently, there is an increasing number of edu- tional institutes that respond to this challenge through the creation and adoption of distance education programs in which the teachers and students are separated by physical distance. It has been verified in many cases that, with the proper methods and tools, teaching and learning at a distance can be as effective as traditional fa- to-face instruction. Today, distance education is primarily performed through the Internet, which is the biggest and most powerful computer network of the World, and the World Wide Web (WWW), which is an effective front-end to the Internet and allows the Internet users to uniformly access a large repertory of resources (text, data, images, sound, video, etc.) available on the Internet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past three decades, the author and his colleagues in the MIT Man-Machine Systems Laboratory have been carrying out experimental research in the area of teleoperation, telerobotics, and supervisory control - a new form of technology that allows humans to work through machines in hazardous environments and control complex systems such as aircraft and nuclear power plants. This timely reference brings together a variety of theories and technologies that have emerged in a number of fields of application, describing common themes, presenting experiments and hardware embodiments as examples, and discussing the advantages and the drawbacks of this new form of human-machine interaction. There are many places - such as outer space, the oceans, and nuclear, biologically, and chemically toxic environments - that are; inaccessible or hazardous to humans but in which work needs to be done. Telerobotics - remote supervision by human operators of robotic or semi-automatic devices - is a way to enter these difficult environments. Yet it raises a host of problems, such as the retrieval of sensory information for the human operator and how to control the remote devices with sufficient dexterity. In its complete coverage of the theoretical and technological aspects of telerobotics and human-computer cooperation in the control of complex systems, this book moves beyond the simplistic notion of humans versus automation to provide the necessary background for exploring a new and informed cooperative relationship, between humans and machines.
