| TMHP01 | Tele Robotics, 12 ECTS-points /Telerobotik/ Advancement level: D | |
| Course content: The main idea is that a group of approx. 5 students at LiTH should co-operate with a similar group of students at Luleå tekniska universitet and together solve a telerobotic problem. Thus, equpment in Linköping should be tele commanded from Luleå and vice versa. The project includes mechatronic equipment, sensors like lasers and CCD-cameras, signal processing, real time control, visualisation etc. to be designed and tested over the Internet. To use modern sensor systems etc., the project iwll be connected to present research at LiTH/LTU. A tutorial on lasers for robot control is found at http://idefix.ikp.li.se/rames/LIDAR.htm and http://www.sm.luth.se.csee/ra/ By tele commands we mean that a distant operator points in a rceived image and gives, say, the command "GRASP". This command is then autonomously executed by a robot in Luleå without any intervention from the operator in Linköping. The arm can be on a mobile robot. The tele command can be more complex like grasp a door handle, open the door and then the robot can drive through the doorway autonomously. This problem is relevant for rescue robots in burning buildings. Similar problems occur at the docking to cargo pallets for mobile robots in industry. A similar course has been very successful in Luleå. For example, two experimental projects; reversing with a trailer and the self navigating lawnmower CALMAN were published in Video Proceedings at the IEEE Robotics & Automation. This international acceptance of student projects is rare. | ||
