This paper presents how a Sensory EgoSphere (SES), a robot-centric geodesic dome that represents the short term memory of a mobile robot, could enhance a human-robot interface. It is proposed that the addition of this visual representation of the sensor data on a mobile robot enhances the effectiveness of a human-robot interface. The SES migrates information presentation to the user from the sensing level to the perception level. The composition of the vision with other sensors on the SES surrounding the robot gives clarity and ease of interpretation. It enables the user to better visualize the present circumstances of the robot.

From primitive behaviors to goal-directed behavior using affordances Doǧar, Mehmet R.; Çakmak, Maya; Uǧur, Emre; Şahin, Erol (2007-12-01) In this paper, we studied how a mobile robot equipped with a 3D laser scanner can start from primitive behaviors and learn to use them to achieve goal-directed behaviors. For this purpose, we propose a learning scheme that is based on the concept of "affordances", where the robot first learns about the different kind of effects it can create in the environment and then links these effects with the perception of the initial environment and the executed primitive behavior. It uses these learned relations to c...
Intelligent Mesh For Self Reconfigurability of an Exoskeleton Arm Altintasi, Cagri; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref (2014-08-27) This paper presents a new technique for a reconfigurable exoskeleton which consists of a connected network of small sized holonic robots enwrapping the human body limbs and more specifically, in this paper, the human arm. The connection control of the reconfigurable exoskeleton decides upon the necessity of a "disconnect", "reconnect" for chosen holons so as to balance any new load at the human joints. The intelligent controller carries out its decisions on the evaluation of stress at connections between ho...
Improving the accuracy of a mobile robot for localization and mapping of an unknown environment Gümrükcü, Gülşah; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003) This thesis deals with sensor based motion planning of a mobile robot for localization in an unknown environment. Using the developed algorithm the robot may construct the map (GVG) of any bounded environment, and the minimum distance between any two locations in the mapped environment can be determined. In addition, the accuracy of the robot, facing dead-reckoning error can be improved. With this study, the mobile robot finds the optimum path between any two locations in any bounded environment and traces ...
Modeling Self-Organized Aggregation in Swarm Robotic Systems Bayindir, Levent; Şahin, Erol (2009-04-02) In this paper, we propose a model for the self-organized aggregation of a swarm of mobile robots. Specifically, we use a simple probabilistic finite state automata (PFSA) based aggregation behavior and analyze its performance using both a point-mass and a physics-based simulator and compare the results against the predictions of the model. The results show that the probabilistic model predictions match simulation results and PFSA-based aggregation behaviors with fixed probabilities are unable to generate sc...
Evolving aggregation behaviors in a swarm of robots Trianni, V; Gross, R; Labella, TH; Şahin, Erol; Dorigo, M (2003-01-01) In this paper, we study aggregation in a swarm of simple robots, called s-bots, having the capability to self-organize and self-assemble to form a robotic system, called a swarm-bot. The aggregation process, observed in many biological systems, is of fundamental importance since it is the prerequisite for other forms of cooperation that involve self-organization and self-assembling. We consider the problem of defining the control system for the swarm-bot using artificial evolution. The results obtained in a...
