Design and Development of a Novel Reconfigurable Wheeled Robot for Off-Road Applications
… terrain is one of the most challenging tasks for wheeled robots. To achieve mobility over this terrain, a high agility wheeled robot should adapt and react fast to optimally traverse this challenging environment. Therefore, this dissertation is geared towards the design and development of a novel …

Trajectory control of a wheeled robot using interaction forces for intuitive overground human-robot interaction
"Effective and intuitive physical human robot interaction (pHRI) requires an understanding of how humans communicate movement intentions with one another. It has been suggested that humans can guide another human by hand through complex tasks using force information only. However, no clear and …

Stereo visual simultaneous localisation and mapping for an outdoor wheeled robot: a front-end study
For many mobile robotic systems, navigating an environment is a crucial step in autonomy and Visual Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (vSLAM) has seen increased effective usage in this capacity. However, vSLAM is strongly dependent on the context in which it is applied, often using heuristic …

Tip-up and stabilization of an autonomous four-wheeled vehicle
An instrumented four-wheeled robot was constructed to investigate steering-induced tip-up and rollover of four-wheeled vehicles, and the possibility of stabilizing and driving while balanced on two wheels. Using an analogy to a cart-pole controller, an energy shaping controller was developed to …

Intelligent motion control with an artificial cerebellum
… including motion control learning for legged robots. The new controller, called “FOX”, uses a modified form of Albus’s CMAC neural network. It is trained to generate control signals that minimize a system’s performance error. A theoretical consideration of the adaptive control problem is used …

Feedback Control for a Path Following Robotic Car
… was developed using the kinematic model for a wheeled robot. The global model is converted into the path coordinate model so that only local variables are needed. then the path coordinate model is converted into chained form and a controller is given to perform path following. The path …

Mobile robot control and navigation in public spaces
Public service robots have been more and more popular due to their social and economical influences. This thesis investigated two issues about control and navigation of public service robots deployed in crowded environments such as airports and shopping malls. Our solutions facilitates the synergy …
