Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A famous French writer, Anatole France, liked to say, "The future is a convenient place to position our dreams" (1927). Indeed, this remark gains full meaning when one considers the history of what we call today "Robotics." For more than 3000 years, mankind has dreamt ofthe possibility of arti ficial machines that would have all the advantages of human slaves without any of their drawbacks. With the developments in technology since the end of World War II, mainly with the explosive progress of computers, it was thought we might at last succeed in transforming this everlasting dream into reality. In the mind of scientists of the 1950's, to make such intelligent and autonomous machines before the year 2000 seemed a small challenge: it was obvious, thanks to computers and Artificial Intelligence. But, in spite of progress in some directions, we must admit that the dream remains a dream and that the basic problems denying us a successful issue are not solved. In fact, if we except industrial robots, only calling for classical automata theory, the main advanced result concerning autonomous and intelligent machines is related to some understanding of reasons why we have failed during the past years.

This book was released on 2007-11-23 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The HMM2004 International Symposium on History of Machines and Mechanisms is the second event of a series that has been started in 2000 as main activity of the IFToMM Permanent Commission for History of MMS, Mechanism and Machine Science. The aim of the HMM Symposium is to be a forum to exchange views, opinions, and experiences on History of MMS from technical viewpoints in order to track the past but also to look at future developments in MMS. The HMM Symposium Series is devoted to the technical aspects of historical deve- pments and therefore it has been addressed mainly to the IFToMM Community. In fact, most the authors of the contributed papers are experts in MMS and related topics. This year HMM Symposium came back to Cassino, after the challenging first event in 2000. The HMM2004 International Symposium on History of Machines and Mechanisms was held at the University of Cassino, Italy, from 12 to 15 May 2004. These Proceedings contain 29 papers by authors from all around the world. These papers cover the wide field of the History of Mechanical Engineering and particularly the History of MMS. The contributions address mainly technical aspects of historical developments of Machines and Mechanisms. History of IFToMM, the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science is also outlined through the historical activities of some of its Commissions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remote manipulator control considered is based on several levels of automatic supervision which derives manipulator commands from an analysis of sensor states and task requirements. Principle sensors are manipulator joint position, tactile, and currents. The tactile sensor states can be displayed visually in perspective or replicated in the operator's control handle of perceived by the automatic supervisor. Studies are reported on control organization, operator performance and system performance measures. Unusual hardware and software details are described.

Download or read book Achievement of a Sense of Operator Presence in Remote Manipulation written by Kevin Corker and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the purpose of this project to review the state of the art of the technology associated with remote manipulation with the intention of providing parameters by which the operator of the remote system could achieve a sense of operator presence. This psychological sense of 'presence, ' or immediacy, reflects the extent to which the sensor, display and control technology can be made transparent to the operator. The present sensor, display and control technology for remote manipulation is sufficient, if properly configured, to produce a laboratory prototype of a telepresence manipulation system. The manipulator arm technology, given impetus by interest in industrial robotics, is sufficient to provide the tight kinematic and dynamic loop required for effective manipulation. The articulated end effector and its interface with associated articulated master hand controller is an area requiring some design effort. There is sufficient technological power to support design work. There is a gap in the state of knowledge concerning the display of tactile and proprioceptive information to the operator. Specification of particular task environments will direct the research required to protect the manipulator and sensor from each environment's hostile elements.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report covers research and development directed toward the investigation and optimization of man-machine communication in computer-aided remote manipulation. The purpose of this program was to determine through analytical and experimental studies the relationships between primary man-machine communication factors and system performance, and to develop and demonstrate a communication design methodology to improve operator performance with remotely controlled systems. Specific objectives included the following: (1) to perform an analysis of communications requirements in computer-aided manipulation and closely related areas of adaptive and autonomous control, (2) to establish an experimental system for study of task-oriented supervisory control of a remote manipulator, (3) to implement and evaluate communication systems, encompassing both language and interface, designed to permit natural and efficient control of a variety of remote manipulation tasks, (4) to identify the primary factors influencing the success of shared man-computer control, and to establish quantitative relationships between these factors and the system performance measures, and (5) to provide guidelines for the design of man-computer communication in subsequent autonomous, adaptive and remotely-manned systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nano- and micromanipulators are critical research tools in numerous fields including micro-manufacturing and disease study. Despite their importance, nano- and micromanipulation systems remain inaccessible to many groups due to price and lack of portability. An intuitive and remotely accessible manipulation system helps mitigate this access problem. Previously, optimal control hardware for single-probe manipulation and the effect of latency on user performance were not well understood. Remote access demands full computerization; graphical user interfaces with networking capabilities were developed to fulfill this requirement and allow the use of numerous hardware controllers. Virtual environments were created to simulate the use of a manipulator with full parametric control and measurement capabilities. Users completed simulated tasks with each device and were surveyed about their perceptions. User performance with a commercial manipulator controller was exceeded by performance with both a computer mouse and pen tablet. Latency was imposed within the virtual environment to study its effects and establish guidelines as to which latency ranges are acceptable for long-range remote manipulation. User performance began to degrade noticeably at 100 ms and severely at 400 ms and performance with the mouse degraded the least as latency increased. A computer vision system for analyzing carbon nanotube arrays was developed so the computation time could be compared to acceptable system latency. The system characterizes the arrays to a high degree of accuracy and most of the measurement types of obtainable fast enough for real-time analysis."--Abstract.
