Keywords: human-robot interaction; user studies; security; privacy; social domestic robot (SDR); home 1. Introduction Socially interactive "robots" bearing that name have been an object of interest since the very term was coined in the influential play R.U.R. by Karel Cˇ apek in 1920 [1...
In addition to various other sensors and actuators, described in [9], the robot is now equipped with 25 m range laser scanners, which are used for mapping, navigation and obstacle avoidance and a display with touch screen. On top of this platform, we have now installed additional devices, ...
Robot Position Sensor Fault Tolerance - Aldridge - 1996 () Citation Context ...ing checking the singular values of the determinant of the gradient Q is described in [10]. A more complete discussion of the torque controller and both position determination methods can be found in =-=[14]-=-...
We also explained how to integrate such models with an Extended Kalman Filter and a Particle Filter, two popular robot state estimation algorithms. We validated the proposed framework through a series of localization tasks. The results showed that our framework outperformed the baseline sensor ...
These simulated sensor data are generated by different types of random number generator to simulated various types of sensor characteristics. Furthermore, a sophisticated Unimate PUMA 560 robot equipped with various external sensors also has been used to test the success of the entire system. The ...
Range data segmentation of a 3D imaging sensor with applications to mobile robot navigation.The primary goal of this research is to develop range data segmentation method for a new class of 3D imaging sensors---Flash LADARs. The imaging sensors are compact in size and provide dense range data...

A sensor-directed task planning and simulation method is developed which can autonomously fine-tune a robotic motion plan during interactions with the objects to be handled and address changes in objects configurations due to perturbations that can occur in the robot task space. As a result, this...
Experiments are conducted on the Sarcos Dextrous Arm.; The second part of the thesis presents a new and simple procedure to identify link mass parameters used for gravity compensation and on-line automatic torque sensor calibration for a robot manipulator. The approach employs a single-joint ...
Force measurement, simulation and implementation using Flexiforce A201 sensor on a mobile robot.Although there is a good deal of research on force detection and control in robotics, only a few papers discuss force measurement and the factors that can affect such measurements in mobile robots. This...
