Articulated Indigeneity and Tourism in Hawaiʻi
… Hawaiian indigeneity and self-determination are articulated within tourism spaces in Hawaiʻi. This thesis research works to uncover the nuanced ways that Hawaiian indigeneity is employed to manage and regulate tourism activities in Hawaiʻi. I seek to question the narrative that Hawaiians consent …

Learning articulated motions from visual demonstration
… environments must be capable of interacting with articulated objects on a daily basis. They should be able to infer each object's underlying kinematic linkages purely by observing its motion during manipulation. This work proposes a framework that enables robots to learn the articulation in …

Computer-Based Animation of an Articulated Body
The fields investigated to provide the background of this work are Animation, Gait Research, Data Gathering and Simulation. A methodology for modelling quadruped gaits and gait transitions based on Fourier series analysis of horse movement is proposed. The methodology has been used to define a …

Modelling and control of articulated robotic arm
… this thesis present the modelling and control of articulated robot arm. The robot arm is modelled using a CAD model that was design in SolidWorks. The robot arm movement is then simulated using the CAD model in Simulink before implementing in the real model. The robot arm is controlled by Arduino …

SPACE-CONSTRAINED AUTONOMOUS REVERSING OF ARTICULATED VEHICLES
… implementing them at full-scale on experimental articulated vehicles owned by the ‘Cambridge Vehicle Dynamics Consortium’ (CVDC). Experimental results were in very good agreement with simulation results. Previous path following control methods for autonomous reversing of LCVs have focussed on …

Articulated 3D Scene Graphs from Egocentric Vision
… relationships. We finally demonstrate that these articulated 3D scene graphs enhance a robot’s ability to perform mobile manipulation tasks, showcasing an application where a Boston Dynamics Spot is tasked with retrieving concealed target items, given only the 3D scene graph as input.

Indexing and Retrieval of 3D Articulated Geometry Models
… on building a content-based search engine for 3D articulated geometry models. 3D models are essential components in nowadays graphic applications, and are widely used in the game, animation and movies production industry. With the increasing number of these models, a search engine not only …

Vision-based trailer pose estimation for articulated vehicles
Articulated Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) are more efficient than conventional rigid lorries, but exhibit reduced low-speed manoeuvrability and high-speed stability. Technologies such as autonomous reversing and path-following trailer steering can mitigate this, but practical limitations of the …

Articulated Statistical Shape Modelling of the Shoulder Joint
… for shoulder joint kinematics via the use of articulated statistical shape models (ASSMs). Articulated statistical shape models extend conventional statistical shape models by combining the shape variability of anatomical objects collected from different subjects (statistical shape models), …

Recovery of 3D articulated motion from 2D correspondences
… thesis focuses on recovery of 3D motion of an articulated model using 2D correspondences from an existing 2D tracker. A number of constraints are used to aid in reconstruction: (i) kinematic constraints from a 3D kinematic model, (ii) joint angle limits, (iii) dynamic smoothing, and (iv) key …

An articulated skeletal analogy of the human upper-limb
<p>Currently available upper-limb prostheses do not meet the needs or aspirations of the amputee.</p> <p>Many technical challenges have been given as the limiting factors on the further development of these prostheses. Generally developments have occurred as incremental developments on three …

Design optimization of articulated vehicles with autonomous steering control
… attention has been paid to exploring autonomous articulated vehicles (AVs). This thesis proposes an approach to the design synthesis of AVs with autonomous steering. A linear yaw-plane model is generated to represent the AV, and a model predictive control (MPC) based tracking controller is …

Modelling and control of an articulated underground mining vehicle
… techniques, field tests are performed on the articulated vehicles, namely the Wright 365 LHD and the Bell 1706C loader. The test on the Wright 365 LHD gives a good impression of the harsh ergonomics under which the operator has to work. A more thorough test is performed on the Bell 1706C …

Dynamics and control of robotic aircraft with articulated wings
… stability and control of robotic aircraft with articulated wings in gliding flight. Speci cally, we are interested in aircraft without a vertical tail, which would then use wing articulation for longitudinal as well as lateral-directional control. Although the dynamics and control of articulated …

Articulated pose estimation via over-parametrization and noise projection
… modeling or perceiving the motion of such an articulated system, it is beneficial to make use of these constraints to reduce uncertainty. In this thesis, we examine two aspects of perception related to articulated structures. First, we examine the special case of a single segment and recover …
