1. A TOY ROCK CLIMBING ROBOT The goal of this thesis was to build a simple toy rock climbing robot, and to explore problems related to grasping, path planning, and robot control. The robot is capable of climbing a wall of pegs either under manual control through a host system and an infrared interface, or on the basis of a set of pre-recorded key frames. In addition, the robot can climb certain peg configurations using a cyclic gait. The robot climbs in an open-loop mode without sensor feedback. All communications are sent through the IR connection, and the tether to the robot consists only of two power wires.

2. Mobile robot control using Bluetooth Low Energy This thesis gives a working example on how to design and implement a remotely controllable embedded system consisting of two subsystems who are communicating with each other using Bluetooth Low Energy. The subsystems are a movable peripheral based on the Parallax Sumobot development kit, and Atmel AVR Butterfly, the Texas Instruments CC2540 development kit and a user input interface using the Apple iPhone 4S.

3. NEURO-FUZZY CONTROL OF A ROBOTIC ARM This thesis first outlines the theory, historical background, and application of neural networks and fuzzy logic. The review of neural networks and fuzzy logic is followed by a discussion of the combination of the two
