  1. 1. A component framework for autonomous mobile robots

    Författare :Anders Orebäck; Henrik I. Christiensen; Iiiah R. Nourbakhsh; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datorteknik; robotics; mobile robots; autonomour robots; component-based software engineering; software architectures; Datorteknik; Computer engineering; Datorteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The major problem of robotics research today is that there is a barrier to entry into robotics research. Robot system software is complex and a researcher that wishes to concentrate on one particular problem often needs to learn about details, dependencies and intricacies of the complete system.

  3. 2. Autonomous Systems in Society and War : Philosophical Inquiries

    Författare :Linda Johansson; Sven Ove Hansson; Philip Brey; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; UAVs; drones; military robots; laws of war; justification for killing; ethics of care; care robots; functional morality; moral responsibility; Moral Turing Test; robot morality; artificial agent; artificial agency; autonomy; norms; disruptive technology; co-evolution; scenarios; autonomous systems; security; decision guidance; technology assessment;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis is to look at some philosophical issues surrounding autonomous systems in society and war. These issues can be divided into three main categories. The first, discussed in papers I and II, concerns ethical issues surrounding the use of autonomous systems – where the focus in this thesis is on military robots. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Generation and Organization of Behaviors for Autonomous Robots

    Författare :Jimmy Pettersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :behavioral organization; evolutionary robotics; action selection; autonomous robots; utility function method;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the generation and organization of behaviors forautonomous robots is studied within the framework ofbehavior-based robotics (BBR).Several different behavioral architectures have been considered inapplications involving both bipedal and wheeled robots. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Indoor Navigation for Mobile Robots : Control and Representations

    Författare :Philipp Althaus; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :mobile robots; robot navigation; indoor navigation; behaviour based robotics; hybrid deliberative systems; dynamical systems approach; topological maps; symbol anchoring; autonomous mapping; human-robot interaction;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with various aspects of indoor navigationfor mobile robots. For a system that moves around in ahousehold or office environment,two major problems must betackled. First, an appropriate control scheme has to bedesigned in order to navigate the platform. Second, the form ofrepresentations of the environment must be chosen. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Generation and Optimization of Motor Behaviors in Real and Simulated Robots

    Författare :Krister Wolff; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; behavior-based robotics; bipedal robots; behavior selection; evolutionary robotics; linear genetic programming; autonomous robots;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the problems of generating and optimizing motor behaviors for both simulated and real, physical robots have been investigated, using the paradigms of evolutionary robotics and behavior-based robotics. Specifically, three main topics have been considered: (1) On-line evolutionary optimization of hand-coded gaits for real, physical bipedal robots. LÄS MER
