In this thesis work an intelligent controller based on a gait synthesizer for a hexapod robot used in rescue operations is developed. The gait synthesizer draws decisions from insect-inspired gait patterns to the changing needs of the terrain and that of rescue. It is composed of three modules responsible for selecting a new gait, evaluating the current gait, and modifying the recommended gait according to the internal reinforcements of past time steps. A Fuzzy Logic Controller is implemented in selecting the new gaits.

Acoustic surface perception through the ground interaction of compliant legs of a hexapod robot Cüneyitoğlu Özkul, Mine; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit; Saranlı, Afşar; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012) A dynamically dexterous legged robot platform generates specific acoustic signals during the interaction with the ground and the environment. These acoustic signals are expected to contain rich information that is related to the interaction surface as a function of the position of the legs and the overall contact process mixed with the actuator sounds that initiate the movement. As the robot platform walks or runs in any environment, this convolved acoustic signal created can be processed and analyzed in re...
Implementation of a closed-loop action generation system on a humanoid robot through learning by demonstration Tunaoğlu, Doruk; Şahin, Erol; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) In this thesis the action learning and generation problem on a humanoid robot is studied. Our aim is to realize action learning, generation and recognition in one system and our inspiration source is the mirror neuron hypothesis which suggests that action learning, generation and recognition share the same neural circuitry. Dynamic Movement Primitives, an efficient action learning and generation approach, are modified in order to fulfill this aim. The system we developed (1) can learn from multiple demonstr...
Software development for man-machine interface for an industrial robot Cengiz, Mahir Cihan; Kaftanoğlu, Bilgin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003) In this study, a robotic software, which controls the robot, is developed. The robot considered is a six degree of freedom robot and it is designed and manufactured in METU. User can send the robot anywhere in space within its workspace, in any orientation. Forward and inverse kinamatics can be executed according to the needs. Simulation framework is embedded into the software for the 3D visualisation of the robot. Any movements can be simulated on the screen. Software also generates the path for the given ...
Optimal control of a half circular compliant legged monopod Özkan Aydın, Yasemin; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Saranlı, Afşar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) Legged robots have complex architecture because of their nonlinear dynamics and unpredictable ground contact characteristics. They can be also dynamically stable and exhibit dynamically dexterous behaviors like running, jumping, flipping which require complex plant models that may sometimes be difficult to build. In this thesis, we focused on half circular compliant legged monopod that can be considered as a reduced-order dynamical model for the hexapod robot, called RHex. The main objective of this thesis ...
Equivalent linearization of 2-way fuzzy adaptive system under nonparametric uncertainty and inconsistency Gurkan, E; Banks, SP; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Erkmen, İsmet (2002-09-18) Our aim in this paper is to design a 2-way fuzzy adaptive controller for a flexible robot arm and to analyze the stability of this controller using describing function technique. The 2-way fuzzy adaptive system is used in order to model the nonparametric uncertainties and inconsistencies present in the nonlinear system. The use of intuitionistic fuzzy sets in the 2-way fuzzy adaptive structure makes it possible to model such uncertainties. The proposed architecture is used as a controller for a flexible-joi...
