Robotic Butler : Phase 1 Nsf

چکیده
The contents of this report describe the specifics of a project aimed to program a “domestic” robot to follow an individual or specified target using sensor technology. Ultimately, the target will be, though not restricted to, the “Smart Chair,” a wheelchair that facilitates physically handicapped citizens with speaking and maneuvering. This would be of significant assistance to those with physical handicaps in the sense that the robot would follow them around to aid in any area possible. The domestic robot referred to in this project is called the Cye sr. Although the Cye sr comes with its preprogrammed Map-N-Zap software, the decision was made to modify its source code to program the robot directly. The original prototype used one IR receiver and one IR transmitter. After testing, improvements were made involving the addition of only another IR receiver, which required the use of a microcontroller. Upon completion of the project during the allotted period, the goal was generally achieved as the robot essentially follows a target using an infrared sensor. More testing needs to be conducted for further improvements.

Automatic 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 ...
