TIMEPERIOD: Quarter I LANGUAGE:Swedish EXAMINER Åke Wernersson Prof PREREQUISITES Basic courses in Mathematical statistics, Signal processing and Automatic control. COURSE AIM The main topics are on methos for extracting information about shape and motion of objects in the workspace of a robot or a machine. Signals from non-contact sensors like time of flight, range cameras are modelled and used in computer simulations. CONTENTS One topic to be followed is: How did they navigate the robot on mars? Overview of robots and vehicles in factories, mines space, offshore hazardous environment. Kinematic and dynamic motion models for robots. Rate-gyros and accelerometers for internal sensing and stabilization. Estimation of collision points. Models of signals from non-contact sensors. Note, not sensor technology but models. Estimating motion using Kalman filtering. The range sensor in the feedback loop. Association errors as the crucial source of system failure. Fusing signals from multiple sensors. Current research projects. TEACHING EXAMINATION COURSE GRADE SCALE: ITEMS/CREDITS
