This thesis focuses on trajectory planning for industrial robot manipulators. It describes the existing problem of trajectory planning and proposes an appropriate solution. The proposed solution has been devised, implemented ...

This paper presents a development of a holonomic mobile robot with remote operation capability. Most of the currently available holonomic mobile robots find problems in field applications because they has not been adopted ...

one of the most challenging problems of field robots is self-localization, which involves incremental update of position while in motion. Though wheel based odometry is cheaper to implement its accuracy degrades when ...

This paper details the development of a model for a walking tractor also known as power tiller. A complete model for power tiller is developed considering kinematics, dynamics and engine dynamics for autonomous operation. ...

Position estimation using wheel odometric systems tends to give rather poor performances for an outdoor fourwheel skid steered mobile robot. Therefore autonomous control of these vehicles is extremely challenging in outdoor ...

In this paper we first analyze the effects of least square based parameter estimation for a autoregressive stochastic model of inertial sensor errors. We then proceed to develop the recursive least squares (RLS) estimation ...

The Axial Flux BLDC motors are relatively new, specially at higher power ratings over 10kW. Therefore the designers face a lot of difficulties in designing and optimizing the motor for a given application. This paper ...

The simulator users do not have an adequate solution for the universal manipulators because the existing simulators are narrow with limited applications. This paper presents a development of an efficient simulator for ...

This paper outlines the problem of outdoor autonomous robot localization for agricultural operations. Vision based outdoor localization system is developed entirely of offthe- shelf components that can accurately guide a ...
