This thesis analyzes the kinematical structure of Puma 760 arm and introduces the implementation of image based pick and place application by taking care of the obstacles in the environment. Forward and inverse kinematical solutions of PUMA 760 are carried out. A control software has been developed to calculate both the forward and inverse kinematics solution of this manipulator. The control program enables user to perform both offline programming and real time realization by transmitting the VAL commands (Variable Assembly Language) to the control computer. Using the proposed inverse kinematics solutions, an interactive application is generated on PUMA 760 arm. The picture of the workspace is taken using a fixed camera attached above the robot workspace. The captured image is then processed to find the position and the distribution of all objects in the workspace. The target is differentiated from the obstacles by analyzing some specific properties of all objects, i.e. roundness. After determining the configuration of the workspace, a clustering based search algorithm is executed to find a path to pick the target object and places it to the desired place. The trajectory points in pixel coordinates, are mapped into the robot workspace coordinates by using the camera calibration matrix obtained in the calibration procedure of the robot arm with respect to the attached camera. The required joint angles, to get the end effector of the robot arm to the desired location, are calculated using the Jacobian type inverse kinematics algorithm. The VAL commands are generated and sent to the control computer of PUMA 760 to pick the object and places it to a user defined location.

Development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques for integrated MEMS sensors
Yaşınok, Gözde Ceren; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
This thesis presents the development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques (ECES) to achieve high precision 3-dimensional integrated MEMS sensors with wet anisotropic etching by applying proper voltages to various regions in silicon. The anisotropic etchant is selected as tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide, TMAH, considering its high silicon etch rate, selectivity towards SiO2, and CMOS compatibility, especially during front-side etching of the chip/wafer. A number of parameters affecting the etching are inv...

Implementation of a risc microcontroller using fpga
Gümüş, Raşit; Güran, Hasan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
In this thesis a microcontroller core is developed in an FPGA. Its instruction set is compatible with the microcontroller PIC16XX series by Microchip Technology. The microcontroller employs a RISC architecture with separate busses for instructions and data. Our goal in this research is to implement and evaluate the design in the FPGA. Increasing performance and gate capacity of recent FPGA devices permits complex logic systems to be implemented on a single programmable device. Such a growing complexity dema...

This thesis presents the design and implementation of a millimeter-wave Gunn diode oscillator operating at 35 GHz (Ka (R) 26.5-40 GHz Band). The aim of the study is to produce a high frequency, high power signal from a negative resistance device situated in a waveguide cavity by applying a direct current bias. First the physics of Gunn diodes is studied and the requirements that Gunn diode operates within the negative differential resistance region is obtained. Then the best design configuration is selected...
