Scope of this thesis is to design a man portable robot which is capable of carrying out reconnaissance and surveillance missions. Due to design needs, the study is mainly focused on throw impact damage mitigation and hopping potential with carbon dioxide gas. Also, electromechanical design of the robot is carried out according to the design specifications.

Design and implementation of a head tracking controlled pan and tilt vision system
Ölmez, Hasan; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
Head tracking applications are getting widely used in robotics implementations such as in military industry for surveillance applications of remote controlled unmanned vehicles, in medical applications for heart and vessel surgeries, in entertainment and game applications for virtual reality. It can be used for helping the operator of teleoperated unmanned vehicle with improving his performance by decreasing workload and managing stress. Head tracking is a challenging application due to real time tracking a...
Face detection in active robot vision
Önder, Murat; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
The main task in this thesis is to design a robot vision system with face detection and tracking capability. Hence there are two main works in the thesis: Firstly, the detection of the face on an image that is taken from the camera on the robot must be achieved. Hence this is a serious real time image processing task and time constraints are very important because of this reason. A processing rate of 1 frame/second is tried to be achieved and hence a fast face detection algorithm had to be used. The Eigenfa...
Development of high performance grinding process using hybrid redundant manipulator
Latifi Navid, Masoud; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017)
Automatic grinding using robot manipulators, requires simultaneous control of the robot endpoint and force interaction between the robot and the constraint surface. In robotic grinding, surface quality can be increased by accurate estimation of grinding forces where significant tool and workpiece deflection occurs. Tool deflection during robotic grinding operation causes geometrical errors in the workpiece cross-section. Also, it makes controlling the grinding cutting depth difficult. Moreover small diamete...
Building a web of concepts on a humanoid robot
Orhan, Güner; Kalkan, Sinan; Department of Computer Engineering (2014)
In this thesis, an effective approach for predicting nouns, adjectives and verbs is introduced for more effective communication between a humanoid robot and a human actor. There are three important challenges addressed by our approach: The first one is the accurate prediction of words in language. Most of the existing robotics studies predict words in language using perceptual information only. However, due to noise and ambiguity in low-level sensory information, prediction using perceptual information is o...
Pid and lqr control of a planar head stabilization platform
Akgül, Emre; Saranlı, Afşar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
During the uniform locomotion of legged robots with compliant legs, the body of the robot exhibits quasi-periodic oscillations that have a disturbing e ect on di erent onboard sensors. Of particular interest is the camera sensor which su ers from image degradation in the form of motion-blur as a result of this camera motion. The e ect of angular disturbances on the camera are pronounced due to the perspective projection property of the camera. The thesis focuses on the particular problem of legged robots ex...
