Tsunami hazards associated with explosion-collapse processes of a dome complex on Minoan Thera Minoura, K; Imamura, E; Kuran, U; Nakamura, T; Papadopoulos, GA; Takahashi, T; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (2003-01-01) The Minoan Thera eruption of the Bronze Age is the most significant Aegean explosive volcanism. The eruption resulted in caldera collapse. We studied the Minoan volcano-tectonic event from the viewpoint of sedimentology and hydraulics. On the Aegean Sea coast of Turkey and Crete we found traces of tsunamis. The tsunami layers are overlain by felsic tephra. The mineralogical characteristics of volcanic tephra and AMS radiocarbon dating on foraminiferal tests show that the tsunami layers are correlative to th...
Sensor based planning: A control law for generating the generalized Voronoi graph Choset, H; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Rizzi, A (1997-01-01) We introduce a new control law for robots that explore unknown environments and configuration spaces. Unlike numerical continuation methods, which produce a jagged path because of the predictor-corrector approach, the control law, introduced in this paper, performs sensor based planning by directing the head of a robot to follow continuously a roadmap. Recall that a roadmap is a one-dimensional representation of a robot's environment. Once the robot exhaustively traces out the roadmap using this control law...
Trust attribution in collaborative robots: An experimental investigation of non-verbal cues in a virtual human-robot interaction setting Ahmet Meriç, Özcan; Şahin, Erol; Acartürk, Cengiz; Department of Bioinformatics (2021-6) This thesis reports the development of non-verbal HRI (Human-Robot Interaction) behaviors on a robotic manipulator, evaluating the role of trust in collaborative assembly tasks. Towards this end, we developed four non-verbal HRI behaviors, namely gazing, head nodding, tilting, and shaking, on a UR5 robotic manipulator. We used them under different degrees of trust of the user to the robot actions. Specifically, we used a certain head-on neck posture for the cobot using the last three links along with the gr...
Global Urban Localization of Outdoor Mobile Robots Using Satellite Images DOĞRUER, CAN ULAŞ; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Dölen, Melik (2008-09-26) Localization is one of the major research fields in mobile robotics. With the utilization of satellite images and Monte Carlo localization technique, the global localization of an outdoor mobile robot is studied in this paper. The proposed method employs satellite images downloaded from the Internet to localize the robot iteratively. To accomplish this, the proposed method matches the local laser scanner data with the segmented satellite images. Initial test results conducted on the METU campus are found to...
Designing Social Cues for Collaborative Robots: The Role of Gaze and Breathing in Human-Robot Collaboration Terzioglu, Yunus; Mutlu, Bilge; Şahin, Erol (2020-01-01) In this paper, we investigate how collaborative robots, or cobots, typically composed of a robotic arm and a gripper carrying out manipulation tasks alongside human coworkers, can be enhanced with HRI capabilities by applying ideas and principles from character animation. To this end, we modified the appearance and behaviors of a cobot, with minimal impact on its functionality and performance, and studied the extent to which these modifications improved its communication with and perceptions by human collab...
