Flexible, Portable Robotic Brains/Heads
نویسنده
چکیده
The Problem: This research derives from the evolution of the M4, a dog-like robot, to the M2-Macaco project, a primate-like mobile robot in joint development with the MIT Leg Lab. It consists of the development of a portable and flexible robotic brain/head which both fits a quadruped and a bipede automaton. Merging social competencies with navigation capabilities requires an architecture that integrates all the modules. Furthermore, it must incorporate a vision system that allows for real-time interpretation of its surroundings.

Design and Fabrication of a Portable 1-DOF Robotic Device for Indentation Tests
There are many tactile devices for indentation examinations to measure mechanical properties of tissue. The purpose of this paper is to develop a portable indentation robotic device to show its usability for measuring the mechanical properties of a healthy abdominal tissue. These measurements will help to develop suitable mathematical models representing abdominal tissue. A 1-DOF portable robot...
متن کاملA robotic head using projected animated faces
This paper presents a setup which employs virtual animated agents for robotic heads. The system uses a laser projector to project animated faces onto a three dimensional face mask. This approach of projecting animated faces onto a three dimensional head surface as an alternative to using flat, two dimensional surfaces, eliminates several deteriorating effects and illusions that come with flat s...
متن کاملAutomatic formulation of falling multiple flexible-link robotic manipulators using 3×3 rotational matrices
In this paper, the effect of normal impact on the mathematical modeling of flexible multiple links is investigated. The response of such a system can be fully determined by two distinct solution procedures. Highly nonlinear differential equations are exploited to model the falling phase of the system prior to normal impact; and algebraic equations are used to model the normal collision of this ...
متن کاملCONTROL OF FLEXIBLE JOINT ROBOT MANIPULATORS BY COMPENSATING FLEXIBILITY
A flexible-joint robot manipulator is a complex system because it is nonlinear, multivariable, highly coupled along with joint flexibility and uncertainty. To overcome flexibility, several methods have been proposed based on flexible model. This paper presents a novel method for controlling flexible-joint robot manipulators. A novel control law is presented by compensating flexibility to form a...
متن کاملIntegrating robotics and neuroscience: brains for robots, bodies for brains
Researchers in robotics and artificial intelligence have often looked at biology as a source of inspiration for solving their problems. From the opposite perspective, neuroscientists have recently turned their attention to the use of robotic systems as a way to quantitatively test and analyze theories that would otherwise remain at a speculative stage. Computational models of neurons and networ...
