Difficulties of manipulating objects in complex environments have prompted researchers to explore increasingly sophisticated manipulator designs to improve grasping and object manipulation. Grasping while locomotion has been a critical need in Search and Rescue (SAR) robot missions to enlarge passages around victims, or for any need of passing through during pure navigation or transportation. Hyper-redundant robots analogous in morphology to snakes, tentacles and elephant trunks have found wide usage as SAR robotic devices which need not only be able to pass through narrow passages but also may need to enlarge a pathway, to bring back a sample, or transport vital support to a victim. Such a device should not have a sharp saliency which is violated when equipped with manipulators that mean more probability of getting stuck among rubbles. Therefore, we focused on a snake-like robot being able to perform lasso-type grasping by some of its link while it undergoes serpentine locomotion using the others. This paper develops the 3-D grasping model and provide demonstrative examples on a 15-DOF snake simulation.

3-D humanoid gait simulation using an optimal predictive control
Özyurt, Gökhan; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
In this thesis, the walking of a humanoid system is simulated applying an optimal predictive control algorithm. The simulation is built using Matlab and Simulink softwares. Four separate physical models are developed to represent the single support and the double support phases of a full gait cycle. The models are three dimensional and their properties are analogous to the human̕s. In this connection, the foot models in the double support phases include an additional joint which connects the toe to the foot...
3-d time-varying scene capture technologies - A survey
STOYKOVA, Elena; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; BENZİE, Philip; GRAMMALİDİS, Nikos; MALASSİOTİS, Sotiris; OSTERMANN, Joern; PİEKH, Sergej; Sainov, Ventseslav; THEOBALT, Christian; THEVAR, Thangavel; ZABULİS, Xenophon (2007-11-01)
Advances in image sensors and evolution of digital computation is a strong stimulus for development and implementation of sophisticated methods for capturing, processing and analysis of 3-D data from dynamic scenes. Research on perspective time-varying 3-D scene capture technologies is important for the upcoming 3DTV displays. Methods such as shape-from-texture, shape-from-shading, shape-from-focus, and shape-from-motion extraction can restore 3-D shape information from a single camera data. The existing te...
Investigation of social-cognitive, emotional and behavioral variables as predictors of self-forgiveness
Bugay, Aslı; Demir, Ayhan Gürbüz; Department of Educational Sciences (2010)
The aim of the current study is to investigate the role of social-cognitive (locus of control, rumination and socially-prescribed perfectionism), emotional (shame and guilt), and behavioral (conciliatory behaviors) reactions toward oneself in predicting self-forgiveness based on Hall and Fincham’s (2005) theoretical model. The sample of this study was composed of 815 (445 female, 370 male) university students attending five different faculty programs at Middle East Technical University (METU). Heartland For...
Human activity classification using spatio-temporal feature relations
Akpınar, Kutalmış; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
This thesis compares the state of the art methods and proposes solutions for human activity classification from video data. Human activity classification is finding the meaning of human activities, which are captured by the video. Classification of human activity is needed in order to improve surveillance video analysis and summarization, video data mining and robot intelligence. This thesis focuses on the classification of low level human activities which are used as an important information source to dete...
A Model based approach for aircraft sensor fault detection
Serçekman, Ömür; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018)
This thesis presents a reformative approach to a model-based fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) method that improves the capability of aircraft flight control systems and acquires low complexity and computational requirements. The main objective of the FDD techniques that are extensively applied in industrial systems is to increase the sensitivity of fault detection scheme with respect to additional noise, uncertainty or disturbances. The designed fault detection model is integrated to a civil aircraft mod...
