MULTI-MODAL SENSORY INPUT AND NOVEL INTERFACES FOR ROBOTIC PROSTHETIC DEVICES
(2016-08-15)
Automated systems have progressed to begin allowing for Human-robot interaction and collaboration in the workplace and rehabilitation settings. Seamless collaboration between robotic systems and users requires intuitive ...
Real-time Minimum Jerk Optimal Trajectory Synthesis and Tracking for Ground Vehicle Applications
(2018-01-08)
Research on wheeled mobile robots has been an active research field for several decades with focus on the problems of stability, maneuverability and control. The trajectory generation for wheeled mobile robots is usually ...
FLEXIBLE-CONTINUUM ROBOT FOR BLADDER TISSUE DIAGNOSTICS
(2017-09-14)
The aim of this thesis is to investigate and develop a robotic system capable of a transurethral
palpation of any targeted area on the bladder interior wall tissue to determine the biomechanical properties of the tissue ...
DISTRACTION DETECTION AND INTENTION RECOGNITION FOR GESTURE-CONTROLLED UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE OPERATION
(2022-05-17)
Gesture Control as a way to replace more conventional remote-control operations has been pursued for a significant period of time with different levels of success. The use of gestures to control different types of human ...
ADAPTIVE HUMAN-ROBOT MOTION TRANSFER FOR COMPLETE BODY IMITATION
(2022-01-06)
Programming robot systems to perform certain tasks is a big challenge especially if such programming is to be performed by persons who are not experts in robotics. For example, when programming a robot to serve as an ...
DATA-DRIVEN DECISION MAKING AND CONTROL OF RATIONAL AGENTS
(2021-05-07)
This dissertation studies the problem of data-driven optimal decision making. The 4main contributions of this work are listed here. First, we develop a model-based and data-driven techniques for learning the cost of an ...
An Intelligent Multimodal Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Robotic System
(2017-08-08)
A traffic accident, a battlefield injury, or a stroke can lead to brain or musculoskeletal injuries that impact motor and cognitive functions and can drastically change a person's life. In such situations, rehabilitation ...
DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF A BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACE FOR HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION IN SIMULATION AND HARDWARE ENVIRONMENTS
(2020-12-09)
The aim of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) research is to create a communication system that identifies human intent by processing brain signals with the objective to develop a control signal for an external device, in this ...
