A wearable robot should know its environment and its location in order to help its operator. Wearable robots are becoming more feasible with the development of more powerful and smaller computing devices and cameras. The main aim of this research is to build a wearable robot with a low cost stereo camera system which explores a room sized unknown environment online and automatically. To achieve 3D localization and map building for the wearable robot, a consistent visual-SLAM algorithm is implemented by using point features in the environment and Extended Kalman Filter for state estimation. The whole system includes camera models and calibration, feature extraction, depth measurement and Extended Kalman Filter algorithm. Moreover, a map management algorithm is developed. This algorithm keeps the number of features spatially uniform in the scene and adds new features when feature number decreases in a frame. Furthermore, a user-interface is presented so that the location of the camera,the features and the constructed map are visualized online. Most importantly, the system is conducted by a low-cost stereo system.

A snake-like robot for searching, cleaning passages from debris and dragging victims
Çağlav, Engin; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
In this thesis, a snake like robot is implemented for search and rescue applications. The “snake” is intentionally selected as a reference for their ability to move on various environments, but due to the mechanical limitations the implemented snake-like robot design could not be close to the biological counterparts. Although the implemented snake like robot is not a replica of biological snakes; it captured key aspects of snakes such as flexibility, redundancy and high adaptation. To depart from the mechan...
Intelligent gait control of a multilegged robot used in rescue operations
Karalarlı, Emre; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Erkmen, İsmet; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003)
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 t...
A behavior based robot control system architecture for navigation environments with randomly allocated walls
Altuntaş, Berrin; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2003)
Integration of knowledge to the control system of a robot is the best way to emerge intelligence to robot. The most useful knowledge for a robot control system that aims to visit the landmarks in an environment is the enviromental knowledge. The most natural representation of the robot2s environment is a map. This study presents a behavior based robot control system architecture that is based on subsumption and motor schema architectures and enables the robot to construct the map of the environment by using...
A Novel real-time inertial motion blur metric with applications to motion blur compensation /
Mutlu, Mehmet; Saranlı, Afşar; Saranlı, Uluç; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
Mobile robots suffer from sensory data corruption due to body oscillations and motion disturbances. In particular, information loss in images captured with on board cameras can be very high, may become irreversible or computationally costly to compensate. In this thesis, a novel method to minimize average motion blur captured by such mobile visual sensors is proposed. To this end, an inertial sensor data based motion blur metric, MMBM, is derived. The metric can be computed in real time. Its accuracy is val...
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 ...
