The Enhancement of the Quadruped Robot

3 Foreign Study

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.

    My experience with Accelerated Reader (AR) is not long, but I started doing ARs when I got to Leilehua in my freshman year. At first, it was difficult for me because I did not understand much English; therefore, when I took my first STAR test, I got a low reading level and I felt disappointed and dumb. The first time I took an AR I failed with a 60%, I was afraid that I would not meet my deadline and it would affect my grade. But somehow Leilehua’s AR system got me into reading culture. With the time I started to improve, getting a higher score, and reading level. Although it sometimes forces me to choose books I do not enjoy reading and puts pressure on me that it could affect my grade. However, AR system motivated me to read, but it is not preparing me for the future. AR should help students be prepared for the after high school life, but it is not completely doing its job. Leilehua should modify AR in order to prepare students to transition to the hallway of life and adulthood.…

    If I could end anyone's problem, it will be to end false hope. I'm all about ending false hope because I know how it is to have false hope. I don’t mean it by not getting a new phone and end up getting the last years version. I mean it by someone telling you that they will be there for you and they end up leaving you in the dust. Especially in other countries, like Africa, or the other third world countries. Those people are promised help and when the day comes the people who promised to help don't come. Those people in those countries are filled with hope for new beginnings and they never come. That is what I would like to stop around the world.…

    Have you always wanted to build your own robot? Oh of course you have, what person in their right mind hasn’t dreamed of playing catch with the magnificent C-3PO? Well even though he is amazing, I personally cannot create such a robot. However, a more R2D2-esque model is in my creative arsenal. Yes, it is difficult to build even a small robot, but don’t be discouraged.…

    Most commonly used design for tree climbing is inch worm design ([4], [5]). These models are very slow. The main body of this type of robot is divided into two parts and each part has a gripper. These models using inch worm mechanism are continuous in their motion and can maneuver in complex tree environments involving…

    Fuzzy Control Systems

    Fuzzy identification and control methods are used in many engineering systems. Aircraft flight control and navigation systems, which have traditionally used gain scheduling, are now increasingly employing methods of fuzzy control. Some automobile manufacturers use fuzzy logic to control automatic braking systems, transmissions, and suspension systems. In process control systems, fuzzy logic is used to control distillation columns and desalinization processes. In the field of robotics, fuzzy control is used to control end - effector position and path. At least one appliance manufacturer employs a fuzzy system to control turbidity in washing machine water, and at least one camera manufacturer ironically uses fuzzy logic in their autofocus system.…

    Abstract: BluetoothTM is a wireless technology standard for the interconnection of electronic devices in the personal space. It was originally developed as a cable replacement technology and later on evolved into a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN). This paper discusses the implementation, setup, and testing processes involved in connecting a Nokia 7650 mobile phone to a computer running ASTI's Bayanihan Linux v2.0 (BLv2.0), which has built-in BlueZ (the official Linux Bluetooth protocol stack). The application used to interface these devices was developed over one of the layers of the BluetoothTM protocol stack, the Radio Frequency Communication (RFCOMM) layer. RFCOMM is a simple transport protocol, which provides emulation of the RS232 serial ports over the Logical Link Controller and Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP). The setup was tested with four different commercial BluetoothTM enablers.…

    Beam Robotics

    • 13 Pages

    Abstract - The field of Robotics has been a fascination since the advent of computational technologies. To induce life into the robos, complex and powerful electronic components are required. Hence advance knowledge and great funds are required to build even small robots. These create hurdles to the beginners in this field. These hurdles can be overcome by adopting a new philosophy called Beam Robotics formulated by Mark. W. Tilden. Here minimal electronics are used and using solar power, miniature creatures are created first from which new prototypes can be evolved. Unlike conventional robos, which use costly microprocessor controlled architecture, these have interconnection of elementary circuits called Nervous Networks. Here a reconfigurable central network oscillator is utilized for autonomous and independent operation of components. Further it favors development of legged robos. The nervous technology provides (1) pulse delay circuits (neurons), interconnected in closed loops, which generate square waves and (2) pulse neutralization circuits. The central sequencing network and limb circuits control the direction of the motor thereby the motion of their legs. The advantage is that the use of microprocessors and costly components is eliminated and the processes are localized and self-sustaining. Thus beginners and students can implement the innovative ideas without having high knowledge, skill and fund. We are very happy to place this paper before the academic fraternity. Now it will be our pleasure to receive the reader’s feedback. We feel such a feedback is vital to improving the knowledge of an efficient engineer, thereby achieving its purpose.…

    Kannan, Dr. J. Selvakumar in which they design a walking robot which is controlled by servo motors. When any commands are given on the transmitter, the EasyVR module will take the voice commands and convert the voice commands into digital signals. Then these digital signals are transmitted via ZIGBEE module to the robot. On the receiver side the other ZIGBEE module receives the command from the transmitter side and then performs the respective operations. Addition to this there is camera which is mounted in the head of the robot will give live transmission and recording of the area. They also show disadvantages like If there is noise or some other sound in the room (e.g. the television or a kettle boiling), the number of errors will increase, It works best if the microphone is close to the user. This research work has been narrowed down to short range zigbee module. Using a long range modules will result in connectivity with the robot for long distances. Power Optimization such sleep and wakeup schedules can be incorporated. Image processing can be implemented in the robot to detect the color and the objects. For more accurate working servo motors can be deployed. Automatic Targeting System can be implemented in the robot for tracking the…
