TIMEPERIOD: Quarter III-IV LANGUAGE:English/Swedish EXAMINER Åke Wernersson Prof PREREQUISITES Basic courses in Automatic Control, Signal Processing, Electronics and Computing. COURSE AIM Computer control of mechanical systems with feedback from non-contact (optronic) sensors like lasers, cameras, GPS etc. Be familiar with the research literature in a project and establishing a network with other groups around the globe. CONTENTS The problem to be solved is specified by the examiner in a dialog with the students. The theme of the project will be Global Personal Robots (GPR's) - extending your sensing and arm into a remote reality where we specialise to controlling a model car with sensors and PC 104 on board. Communication using Radio LAN and the first goal is to give the robot local "intelligence". One application is that the robot should navigate autonomously in the campus corridors and report back (photo) any changes it discovers between the passages. A scanning laser to be used. A second project might be to use the signals in the Radio LAN for estimating the position. Details depends on the interests of the participants and sponsoring. We already have a petrol driven RC car for outdoor use (1 meter, 70km/h) equipped with GPS, gyros, camera. New chassis with electrical motor is one solution. There is also a computer controlled wheel chair. TEACHING Weekly technical discussions. As the project proceeds it is documented on a Web page. EXAMINATION Public presentation with live demonstration and a report. COURSE GRADE SCALE: U, G ITEMS/CREDITS | |
