The Robot Engineer
نویسندگان
چکیده
We described preliminary work on designing a “robot engineer”. Somewhat similar to the idea of a robot scientist, the robot engineer is a closed-loop system that designs tools for a robot, and even complete robots, that are tested in simulation, manufactured and realised using 3D printing. The artefact is then evaluated on real-world tasks, feeding back to the original design. The system builds on ILP techniques originally developed for learning tool use by a robot. To this is added methods for transforming the functional specification produced by the ILP system into a design that is suitable for manufacture.

Reverse Engineering to Teach Scientific Concepts: Biomimetic Robot Systems
This mentor presentation displays how Team Genius mentors teach concepts through the process of reverse engineering. It examines the current applications of reverse engineering to teach both a scientific concept, in this case, biomimetics, and engineering concepts. To begin, we will describe existing robots and prototypes—from research labs of Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute...

متن کاملNavigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network
Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...
متن کاملDesign, Modeling, Implementation and Experimental Analysis of 6R Robot (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Design, modeling, manufacturing and experimental analysis of a six degree freedom robot, suitable for industrial applications, has been described in this paper. The robot was designed on the assumption that, each joint has an independent DC motor actuator, with gear reduction and measuring sensor for angular joint position. Mechanical design of the robot was done using Mechanical Desktop and ma...
متن کاملA New Method of Mobile Robot Navigation: Shortest Null Space
In this paper, a new method was proposed for the navigation of a mobile robot in an unknown dynamic environment. The robot could detect only a limited radius of its surrounding with its sensors and it went on the shortest null space (SNS) toward the goal. In the case of no obstacle, SNS was a direct path from the robot to goal; however, in the presence of obstacles, SNS was a space around the r...
