New Interface for Rapid Feedback Control on ABB-Robots (Mechanical Project)

Automation in manufacturing has come far by using industrial robots. However, industrial robots require tremendous efforts in static calibration due to their lack of senses. Force and vision are the most useful sensing capabilities for a

LabVIEW™ Database Interfacing For Robotic Control (Computer Project)

The Zymark™ System is a lab automation workstation that uses the Caliper Life Sciences (Hopkinton, MA) Zymate XP robot. At Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, a Zymate is used in a course, INFO I510 Data Acquisition and Laboratory Automation, to demonstrate … Read more »

Experiments in Robot Formation Control with an Emphasis on Decentralized Control Algorithms (Mechanical Project)

In this project, several algorithms and experiments involving the control of robot formations are presented. The algorithms used were focused on decentralized control. The experiments were implemented on two different experimental testbeds consisting of teams of wheeled mobile robots. The … Read more »

Robust Communication for Location-Aware Mobile Robots using Motes (Computer Project)

The best mode of communication for a team of mobile robots deployed to cooperatively perform a particular task is through exchange of messages. To facilitate such exchange, a communication network is required. When successful execution of

Augmented Reality for Space Applications (Robotics Project)

Future space exploration will inevitably require astronauts to have a higher degree of autonomy in decision-making and contingency identification and resolution. Space robotics will eventually become a

Computing a Network of ASRs using a Mobile Robot Equipped with Sonar Sensors (IEEE Robotics Project)

This paper presents a novel algorithm for computing absolute space representations (ASRs) for mobile robots equipped with sonar sensors and an odometer. The robot is allowed to wander freely (i.e. without following any fixed path) along the corridors in an … Read more »

Modeling and Optimization Techniques for Efficient Implementation of Parallel Embedded Systems (Electronics Project)

Embedded systems are becoming more and more important. The products containing embedded systems span from day-to-day household and consumer products, such as digital TVs, mobile phones, and automobiles, to industrial devices and equipment, including, for example, robots, aviation equipment, and

Effect of Kinematic Variations on Viscous Pumping by a Robotic Gill Plate Array (Mechanical Project)

As the Reynolds number of a system decreases, traditional pumping techniques become less effective. In nature, oscillating appendage systems exhibit distinct patterns of movement based on their Reynolds number. Studies of pumping by mayfly nymph gill arrays have shown

Novel Integrated System Architecture for an Autonomous Jumping Micro-Robot (Robotics Project)

As the capability and complexity of robotic platforms continue to evolve from the macro to micro-scale, innovation of such systems is driven by the notion that a robot must be able to sense, think, and act. The traditional architecture of … Read more »

Design, Analysis, and Fabrication of a Snake-Like Robot with a Rectilinear Gait (Mechanical Project)

Snake-inspired robots display promise in areas such as search, rescue and reconnaissance due to their ability to locomote through tight spaces. However, several specific issues regarding the design and

Remote Controlled Metal Detecting Robot with Remote Image Transmission (Electronics Project)

Path Finder was sent to Mars in 1998. This was achievement a great which detected the secrets of “Mars”. This project deals with RF controlled robot and it is a prototype for the “Path Finder”. The robot is controlled by … Read more »

Rapid Polymer Prototyping for Low Cost and Robust Micro Robots (Mechanical Project)

Interest in fabricating large numbers of small robots has grown recently due to applications ranging from mobile sensor networks to search and rescue. However, realizing these applications is difficult due to the extended fabrication time, cost, and f

Voice Controlled Robot (Robotics Project)

When we say voice control, the first term to be considered is Speech Recognition i.e. making the system to understand human voice. Speech recognition is a technology where the system understands the words (not its meaning) given through speech. Speech … Read more »

Q-Learning for Robot Control (Robotics Project)

Q-Learning is a method for solving reinforcement learning problems. Reinforcement learning problems require improvement of behaviour based on received rewards. Q-Learning has the potential to reduce robot programming effort and increase the range of robot
