A PC-based interactive software package for low-level programmers is developed the for off-line programming of robots for welding, and is evaluated for are welding using a six-degree of freedom industrial robot. The package is also capable of simulating the process graphically. Weld trajectories are either determined by making use of user input three-dimensional weld seam drawings, or can be extracted from three-dimensional workpiece drawings. A module is developed for easy weld seam input, which also makes use of open-architecture libraries for classical weld geometries. The software package consists of modules for automatic selection of welding machine and robot programming parameters by making use of open-architecture libraries. The user can also override and input these parameters manually, whenever required.

PФSS: An Open-source Experimental Setup for Continuous Real-world Implementation of Swarm Robotic Systems Turgut, Ali Emre; Krajnik, Tomas (2018-10-19) Swarm robotics is a relatively new research field that employs multiple robots (tens, hundreds or even thousands) that collaborate on complex tasks. There are several issues which limit the real-world application of swarm robotic scenarios, e.g. autonomy time, communication methods, and cost of commercialised robots. We present a platform, which aims to overcome the aforementioned limitations while using off-the-shelf components and freely-available software. The platform combines (i) a versatile open-hardw...
Design of a variable five-axes adjustable configuration robot manipulator YUCEL, AS; Ersak, Aydın (1994-04-14) A robot manipulator design is presented in this paper supplying a few kinematical configurations in a single structure which is in the mean time, reconfigurable for given tasks and hence making the level of flexibility and adaptability much higher for changing working environments
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...
P Phi SS: An Open-Source Experimental Setup for Real-World Implementation of Swarm Robotic Systems in Long-Term Scenarios Arvin, Farshad; Krajnik, Tomas; Turgut, Ali Emre (2019-01-01) Swarm robotics is a relatively new research field that employs multiple robots (tens, hundreds or even thousands) that collaborate on complex tasks. There are several issues which limit the realworld application of swarm robotic scenarios, e.g. autonomy time, communication methods, and cost of commercialised robots. We present a platform, which aims to overcome the aforementioned limitations while using off-the-shelf components and freely-available software. The platform combines (i) a versatile open-hardwa...
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...
