This paper investigates the holonic modeling of multi-fingered robotic hands where 2-stem-of-links+1-joint holons having basic kinematic properties are considered, working in colony in order to perform dexterous grasps, Those holons are the simplest physical elements, which have the capabilities of independent actuation and of cooperation with other holons in achieving global behavior for the whole structure. Our work focuses on the concept of self-reconfigurability of the modular colony structure so as the holons reconfigure themselves to a pre-described structure in the absence of a human in the loop. The reconfiguration control of the dynamical holonic hand is a regrasp control and is developed based on hybrid control, since our system exhibits both discrete and continuous behaviors.

Modeling approaches to the dynamics of a living cell are presented that are strongly based on its underlying physical and chemical processes and its hierarchical spatio-temporal organization. Through the inclusion of a broad spectrum of processes and a rigorous analysis of the multiple scale nature of cellular dynamics, we are attempting to advance cell modeling and its applications. The presentation focuses on our cell modeling system, which integrates data archiving and quantitative physico-chemical model...
Collective gradient perception with a flying robot swarm
Karaguzel, Tugay Alperen; Turgut, Ali Emre; Eiben, A. E.; Ferrante, Eliseo (2022-10-01)
In this paper, we study the problem of collective and emergent sensing with a flying robot swarm in which social interactions among individuals lead to following the gradient of a scalar field in the environment without the need of any gradient sensing capability. We proposed two methods-desired distance modulation and speed modulation-with and without alignment control. In the former, individuals modulate their desired distance to their neighbors and in the latter, they modulate their speed depending on th...
Two-way fuzzy adaptive identification and control of a flexible-joint robot arm
Gurkan, E; Erkmen, İsmet; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref (2002-08-01)
The objective in this paper is to apply our proposed two-way fuzzy adaptive system that makes use of intuitionistic fuzzy sets to the identification and model-based control of a flexible-joint robot arm. Uncertainty and inconsistency are modelled in the proposed system such as uncertainty is the width of the interval introduced by the independent assignment of membership and nonmembership functions of the intuitionistic fuzzy sets; and inconsistency is the violation of the consistency inequality in this ass...
Density functional theory investigation of TiO2 anatase nanosheets
Sayın, Ceren Sibel; Toffoli, Hande; Department of Physics (2009)
In this thesis, the electronic properties of nanosheets derived from TiO2 anatase structure which acts as a photocatalyst, are investigated using the density functional theory. We examine bulk constrained properties of the nanosheets derived from the (001) surface and obtain their optimized geometries. We investigate properties of lepidocrocite-type TiO2 nanosheets and nanotubes of different sizes formed by rolling the lepidocrocite nanosheets. We show that the stability and the band gaps of the considered ...
Standardless PIXE analysis of thick biomineral structures

The particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) of thick biomineral targets provides pertinent surface analysis, but if good reference materials are missing then complementary approaches are required to handle the matrix effects. This is illustrated by our results from qualitative and semiquantitative analysis of biomaterials and calcified tissues in which PIXE usually detected up to 20 elements with Z > 14 per sample, many at trace levels. Relative concentrations allow the classification of dental composites ac...
