Microrobot systems have demonstrated potential in the areas of manipulation, assembly, and therapeutic tasks at the microscale. This paper investigates uncalibrated visual servoing of microrobot devices in a fluidic environment. Planar actuation is achieved with four electromagnets, and both point-to-point motion and trajectory following are demonstrated. The unique contribution of this paper is the...
Microrobots have a number of potential applications for micromanipulation and assembly, but also offer challenges in power and control. This paper describes the control system for magnetically actuated microrobots operating at the interface between two immiscible fluids. The microrobots are 20 µm thick and approximately 100–200 µm in lateral dimension. Several different robot shapes are investigated...
This study seeks to establish a new and efficient method of conducting vessel wake studies by means of a vision-based vessel tracking tool that computes vessel parameters such as speed and length. When correlated with wave height measurements, the data facilitates a unified formulation of equations to calculate ship-generated wave heights over a broader range of vessel sizes and boating speeds than...
The Semantic Robot Vision Challenge is a research competition designed to advance the ability of agent's to automatically acquire knowledge and use this knowledge to identity objects in an unknown and unstructured environment. In this paper, we present a complete design and implementation of a robotic system intended to compete in the Semantic Robot Vision Challenge. The system takes a text input...
