We will be discussing how using robotics in two university courses helped students relate the topics learned in class to applications in real life of those topics. The changes introduced in the course structure created a different atmosphere in class and the way the students faced the newly learned topics.
In this contribution we present a formalism to combine the well-known process modeling technique based on Petri nets with the recent developments in Visual Programming for robot programming. The resulting modeling approach enables process developers and robot programmers to follow a hierarchical approach to process development and to profit from the extensive analysis techniques developed for Petri...
We propose a novel exoskeleton for grasping hand rehabilitation based on anthropometry. The proposed design has one degree of freedom (DOF) for each finger, yielding coordinated movement across the distal interphalangeal (DIP), proximal interphalangeal (PIP), and metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints for each finger. The dimension of each segment is determined by hand anthropometric data obtained from...
The design of robotic systems involves implementation of Mechatronic Engineering principles stemming from the integration of Mechanical, Electronic and Computer engineering. The diverse nature of this integration poses a challenge for established and novice researchers to specialize within these fields. Collaboration between researchers and institutes offers many advantages such as easy access to...
The aim of this paper is to summarize the Work in Progress related to the design of a Collaborative Robotic Educational Tool. This tool arises to improve STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) educational programs for school students. The design is intended to cover different specifications such as: scalability, modular capabilities, reconfiguration possibilities and compatibility with the...
Neck pain is amongst the leading causes of disability across all health conditions globally, and technologies such as movement analysis could represent valuable tools for supporting the assessment and rehabilitation of people with neck pain. In recent years there has been a proliferation of software for head tracking but applications in rehabilitation engineering have so far been limited, possibly...
In this paper, the linearization of a nonlinear vector implicit differential equation that describes mechanical systems with application to robotics is established. In order to come to the results, a compact representation via Kronecker product of the partial derivative of the product of vector valued matrix functions is used. Two equivalent representations of the linearized model are derived. Once...
There is significant interest in tele-operating simulated or physical robots in hostile environments, particularly for military, policing, medical, and gaming environments. This paper describes a developed Virtual Reality (VR) application that allows a user to control a simulated immersive robot in a combat scenario. We have incorporated a 5DT Ultra Data Glove and an Oculus Rift in our proposed combat...
This paper reports the experience of running a professional development workshop on advanced computing technologies for high and middle school computer teachers. The workshop introduced the teachers to new trends in computing technologies to be applied in the classroom. Thirty-two teachers took part in the workshop and benefited from its content. The workshop covered four different hot computing topics,...
In force control applications where a robot end-effector is required to interact with the environment or the workpiece, the dynamic of the environment plays an important role. The environment dynamic may influence the performance of the controlled system, especially the performance in transient period. In order to avoid tuning the controller constantly with the changing environment, a robust control...
The paper focuses on the grasp requirements derived from the voluntary and involuntary physical interactions in instrument manipulations. The manipulation-oriented grasp requirements include interactive wrench requirements and motion requirements that are required to accomplish a manipulation task. The manipulation-oriented grasp requirements are directly associated with the functionality of the instrument...
Some simulation results of the grasping of an under-actuated finger driven by un-extendible tendons are presented. The finger is one of the ones of a mechanical hand based on a self-adaptive mechanism that permits the use of un-extendible tendons. The simulations were carried on by means of a model made by WM 2D" multibody code and permitted to save time and number of prototypes in the prototyping...
This project presents a hybrid system implementing the use of solar panels and batteries to power a robot. The main aim is to integrate a charging system which allows the batteries to be charged from solar panels, wall outlet, and a deployable solar charging station. The proposed system is divided in three sections: design of solar panels, design of a battery charger and design of a DC-DC converter...
Path Planning is one of the exclusive research area in the Robotics. It basically focuses on the robot motion from the initial position to final position such that it must avoid the hurdles and finally reach the goal in optimal path. But it is not an easy task because many conditions are included for the efficiency of final result like working on different environments, known or unknown target etc...
Optical tracking method has been largely usedfor medical navigation system in Robotic Image GuidedSurgery (IGS). One of the methods proposed by recentresearcher is to use colour feature as the marker for medicalinstruments detection and tracking. Since IGS system isusing preoperative imaging data set for reference, unintended patient movement can result in major errors. Inthis work, the position for...
The aim of this paper is to review the current existing development platforms in order to present one alternative for students as part as an Educational environment. Furthermore, the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education is an emerging trend which needs modular, adaptable and easy to use tools, these attention during the educational session. Additionally, this paper covers...
This paper presents the project of a robotics teaching tool which was designed to be a playful tool for learning check. The relevance of this study is due to the fact the design of this tool have originated from an extracurricular vision of a group of students who contributed to the development of it and had robotics as a form of entertainment that belongs to their world outside of the classroom....
Robotic devices can be a viable solution in different rehabilitation activities for increasing patients' gains, providing high-frequent, repetitive and interactive rehabilitation treatments. In this paper, the design, development and preliminary characterization of a robotic system for assisted hand rehabilitation, driven by surface EMG measurements, based on the mirroring of healthy hand movements...
This article describes algorithm which detects moving objects in video using the construction and analysis of a graph model. The comparison with the same method that is considered in the documentation for MATLAB is carried out. The efficiency and correctness of the algorithm is proved. Examination of the proposed solutions on test video image is done.
Aquatic unmanned robotic systems have gained popularity due to their abilities to perform a wide range of applications at low cost and no risk to human lives. This research investigates the development of the navigation system of “HPftN”, an Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV). The PID control system composed of 3 Arduino UNO boards, a GPS, a Compass and 4 thrusters can navigate the 2,86 meter long and...
