  1. 1. Augmented navigation

    Författare :Gustav Burström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Spinal fixation procedures have the inherent risk of causing damage to vulnerable anatomical structures such as the spinal cord, nerve roots, and blood vessels. To prevent complications, several technological aids have been introduced. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Bio-inspired retinal optic flow perception in robotic navigation

    Författare :Björnborg Nguyen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; robotic navigation; active fixation; visual perception; bionics; Retinal optic flow fields; gazing; optic flow; retinal flow path;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the bio-inspired visual perception of motion with emphasis on locomotion targeting robotic systems. By continuously registering moving visual features in the human retina, a sensation of a visual flow cue is created. An interpretation of visual flow cues forms a low-level motion perception more known as retinal optic flow. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Towards Aerial Robotic Workers

    Författare :Emil Fresk; Dimos Dimarogonas; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aerial Robotic Worker; UAV; Multirotor; Quadrotor; Estimation; Quaternion; Inertial Navigation; Reglerteknik; Control Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to advance the control and estimation schemes for multirotors, and more specifically the Aerial Robotic Worker, in order to progress towards the necessary control and estimation performance for robust control, cooperation and collaboration. Towards this envisioned aim, this Licentiate thesis will present the following main research contributions: a) a singularity-free attitude controller for the attitude problem has been established, that does not have the inherent drawbacks of Euler angle or Direction Cosine Matrix based approaches, b) a generalized estimation scheme for attitude, position and parameter estimation will be presented that has the merit of low computational footprint, while it is robust towards magnetic disturbances and able to identify key parameters in the model of an Aerial Robotic Worker, c) an method for estimating the induced vibration frequencies on the multirotor’s frame, and the respective amplitudes, that relies on notch filtering for attenuating the induced vibrations, and d) a theoretical establishment, as well as an experimental development and evaluation of a variable pitch propeller model to add additional degrees of freedom and increase the robustness of an Aerial Robotic Worker.

  4. 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

  5. 5. Risk Aware Path Planning and Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance towards Enabling Safe Robotic Missions

    Författare :Samuel Karlsson; George Nikolakopoulos; Georgia Chalvatzaki; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Robotic; Path planning; Obstacle avoidanc; Robotic missions; licenti thesis; Robotics and Artificial Intelligence; Robotik och artificiell intelligens;

    Sammanfattning : This compilation thesis presents two main contributions in path planning and obstacle avoidance, as well as an integration of the proposed modules with other frameworks to enable resilient robotic missions in complex environments.In general, through different types of robotic missions it is important to have a collision tolerant and reliable system, both regarding potential risks from collisions with dynamic and static obstacles, but also to secure the overall mission success.
