Fixturing encompasses the design and assembly of fixtures to locate and hold a workpiece during a manufacturing operation such as machining or assembly. We have implemented an auto...
This report details our development of a computer controlled spotlight with four actuated degrees-of-freedom for pan, tilt, linear movement, and beam focusing. We review the mecha...
This paper provides an overview of our selection process for proximity sensors for manipulator collision avoidance. Five categories of sensors have been considered for this use in...
Abstract-This paper deals with enhancing the level of autonomy in a robotic work cell. With that mission in mind, we present here an integrated framework for the sensing, the plann...
In this paper, we are concerned with the problem of location of inspection centers in a multistage manufacturing system. A Genetic algorithm based approach is developed to determi...
For an autonomous robot navigating in an unstructured outdoor environment, staying close to a path is crucial to successfully reaching its goal. Although the degree of accuracy wi...
