Nowadays, robot arms are highly available for industrial applications such as welding and automation. The major problem is the inaccuracy at tip position of the robot arm due to several structural effects. This thesis aims to increase the positioning accuracy of robot arm tip position by developing an external positioning method via angular measurement from digital cameras. Two gimbal systems are configured as the steering system of cameras. Each gimbal provides the angular position of the target in real-time. A calibration procedure is developed to establish a common reference frame. A python-based simulation is implemented for error budgeting. Real-world measurements are analyzed and discussed. According to the results, position accuracies better than 0.15% can be achieved. The results further can be improved by better vision components and online estimation of calibration parameters.

Polymorphic robotic system controlled by an observing camera KOCER, Bilge; YUKSEL, Tugce; YUMER, M. Ersin; Ozen, C. Alper; Yaman, Ulaş (2010-02-28) Polymorphic robotic systems, which are composed of many modular robots that act in coordination to achieve a goal defined on the system level, have been drawing attention of industrial and research communities since they bring additional flexibility in many applications. This paper introduces a new polymorphic robotic system, in which the detection and control of the modules are attained by a stationary observing camera. The modules do not have any sensory equipment for positioning or detecting each other. ...
Dynamic modelling in micromachining Yılmaz, Emre Ersoy; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Budak, Erhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015) Micro milling applications are rapidly growing in various industries such as micro machines, medical, electro-mechanical component production etc. Due to very high precision requirements, dimensional accuracy and surface quality of micro milled components are very critical. As commonly known chatter vibrations arising due to instability in cutting yield poor surface finish and reduced tool life with potential damage to cutting edges and machine tool. Chatter vibrations are even more critical for micro milli...
Guidelines for building experimental mobile robots with off-the-shelf components Özkil, Ali Gürcan; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) Robotics is an emerging field, and it is also affecting several other fields. Design of robotic platforms gains more importance since the focus and aim of the robotics research broadens widely and the variety of the users is significant. This work aims to present the design of a modular mobile robotic platform, which should be simple, easy to build and easy to use. The concept of modularity, usage of off-the shelf components and utilizing a PC platform, are addressed in this work. As a result of this work, ...
An Efficient Implementation of Online Model Predictive Control with Practical Industrial Applications Arpacık, Okan; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-8) The demand to utilize modern control algorithms for industrial applications is much more intensive. Model-predictive-controller (MPC), which is one of the modern optimal control policies, has gained more attention in servo drive and other industrial applications in recent years due to increased computational capabilities of embedded platforms and evident control performance benefits compared to more classical control methods. A digital MPC algorithm at each sampling instant produces the optimal control inpu...
Collaborative building control: a conceptual mixed-initiative framework Topak, Fatih; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray (Taylor & Francis, 2021-6-22) In the last two decades, automation systems have shown advanced developments and are widely adopted for various purposes in many fields. However, automation in buildings has not gained popularity and has a low acceptance level amongst the occupants. Decreased perceived control, ever-changing dynamic human needs, and standardized, one-size-fits-all approach in current automation systems lead to disharmony in human-machine coexistence. Although well-established continuous interaction between building control ...
