  1. 1. Autonomous Propulsion for a GPR-UGV

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Fredrik Wall Eskilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : robotics; gpr; autonomous; robot; ros; slam;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the research and development behind the integration of an autonomous propulsion system for a four-wheeled Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) measurement unit, previously requiring manual operation. In order to ease the administration of the complex new system, Robot Operating System (ROS) 2 was used as middleware, where an implementation of Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) 3D-SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) served to secure precise localization of the Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) and mapping of its environment.

    Keywords : Simulation; mobile robots; Unity; ROS; Gazebo; physics engine;

    Abstract : Simulation software is becoming an increasingly important tool for automation systems both in industry and research. Within the field of mobile robotics, it is used to evaluate the performance of robots regarding localization, motion planning and control. READ MORE

  4. 3. ROBOREBECA: A NEWFRAMEWORK TO DESIGN VERIFIED ROS-BASED ROBOTIC PROGRAMS

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Saeid Dehnavi; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Robotic technology helps humans in different areas such as manufacturing, health care and educa-tion. Due to the ubiquitous revolution, today’s focus is on mobile robots and their applications in avariety of cyber-physical systems. READ MORE

  5. 4. Using a general robot programming system to control an industrial robot

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Victor Igelmo; [2018]
    Keywords : ROS; universal robots; robot middleware; robotic arms; robotics; ROS; universal robots; robotar middleware; robotarm; robotik;

    Abstract : Industrial robot programs are usually created with the programming language that the manufacturer provides. These languages are often limited to cover the common usages within the industry. However, when a more advanced program is needed, then third-party programs are often used to, e.g. READ MORE

  6. 5. Enabling Network-Aware Cloud Networked Robots with Robot Operating System : A machine learning-based approach

    University essay from KTH/Radio Systems Laboratory (RS Lab)

    Author : Fredrik Hans Nordlund; [2015]
    Keywords : CNR; ROS; network awareness; cloud; open-source; TurtleBot; CNR; ROS; nätverksmedvetenhet; moln; öppen källkod; TurtleBot;

    Abstract : During the recent years, a new area called Cloud Networked Robotics (CNR) has evolved from conventional robotics, thanks to the increasing availability of cheap robot systems and steady improvements in the area of cloud computing. Cloud networked robots refers to robots with the ability to offload computation heavy modules to a cloud, in order to make use of storage, scalable computation power, and other functionalities enabled by a cloud such as shared knowledge between robots on a global level.
