Automation of excavation operations can be realized by an automatically controlled excavator system that is able to perform autonomously a planned digging work and to quickly comply to interacting forces experienced during excavation. The development of such an automated control system is usually based on a dynamic model of the system that describes the motion with time. A dynamic model for an excavator that is needed for the controller design can be derived by applying Newton-Euler equations to each link in succession. The model obtained describes the motion of the excavator. It corrects several shortcomings that appear in previously published excavator model. On the basis of the model derived, a proportional-differential controller is designed that makes the bucket to track a specified trajectory. It can be used to automate the machine operations, for example, for terrestrial and planetary excavations as well as for mining applications.

Design of energy efficient hopper by using parallel elasticity and wrapping cam mechanisms
Candan, Sinan Şahin; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Improving energy efficiency and control accuracy in legged robot design are important due to demand for complex tasks and prolonged operation time. Solving such a problem can be tackled by the determination of mathematical models, selecting appropriate controllers, integrating actuators and mechanical leg design. Model and control method is selected as Spring Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) with constant forcing and virtual tunable damping. Parallel elastic and series elastic architectures are considered fo...
Modeling and control of quadrotor formations carrying a slung load
Ariyibi, Segu; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
In this thesis, an algorithm for the autonomous formation flight of quadrotors carrying a slung load is developed. Full nonlinear models for a single quadrotor carrying a slung load as well as two and three quadrotors carrying a slung load problems are addressed. For the two and three quadrotor slung load systems, a leader-follower approach is employed to make the quadrotors fly in a fixed geometrical formation. The overall control algorithm employs a loop structure with a Lyapunov based formation guidance ...

We review a large multidisciplinary effort to develop a family of autonomous robots capable of rapid, agile maneuvers in and around natural and artificial vertical terrains such as walls, cliffs, caves, trees and rubble. Our robot designs are inspired by (but not direct copies of) biological climbers such as cockroaches, geckos, and squirrels. We are incorporating advanced materials (e.g., synthetic gecko hairs) into these designs and fabricating them using state of the art rapid prototyping techniques (e.g...
Model-based pose estimation of the tool center point of collaborative industrial robots (UR5) using a proposed fiducial marker system
Majidi Balanji, Hamid; Turgut, Ali Emre; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Real-time pose estimation of Tool Center Point (TCP) of industrial robots is very important in industrial robotic applications. The TCP pose information is used in many industrial robotic tasks such as calibration and control tasks for on-line TCP pose corrections and improvement of the TCP pose accuracy and repeatability. Nowadays, in industry and robotic research laboratories, laser trackers, optical CMMs, stereo vision and photogrammetry techniques are applied for TCP pose estimation purposes; however, e...
Modeling and control of autonomous underwater vehicle manipulator vehicle manipulator systems
Korkmaz, Ozan; İder, Kemal S.; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012)
In this thesis, dynamic modeling and nonlinear control of autonomous underwater vehicle manipulator systems are presented. Mainly, two types of systems consisting of a 6-DOF AUV equipped with a 6-DOF manipulator subsystem (UVMS) and with an 8-DOF redundant manipulator subsystem (UVRMS) are modeled considering hydrostatic forces and hydrodynamic effects such as added mass, lift, drag and side forces. The shadowing effects of the bodies on each other are introduced when computing the hydrodynamic forces. The ...
