Localization of a robotic crawler for CANDU fuel channel inspection
… discusses the design and development of a pipe crawling robot for the purpose of CANDU fuel channel inspection. The pipe crawling robot shall be capable of deploying the existing CIGAR (Channel Inspection and Gauging Apparatus for Reactors) sensor head. The main focus of this thesis is the …

Study of the compliance and system integration of bistable structures for use as actuation mechanisms in bioinspired adaptive systems
… especially for use in the fields of soft robotics and human-robot interaction. Introducing compliance to bistable actuation mechanisms significantly increases the complexity of both modeling the actuation mechanism and synergistically incorporating the mechanism into a system design. This …

Modeling and implementation of solder-activated joints for single actuator, centimeter-scale robotic mechanisms
… (PCMs) are best-suited as a means to modify a robotic mechanism's kinematic and elastomechanic behavior. The preceding refers to mechanisms that possess joints which may be thermally locked and unlocked via a material phase change within the joint. Different combinations of locked and unlocked …
