▼ Robots are becoming more and more involved in our daily life. In order to increase the acceptance of modern robotics in society even further, quite some improvements in human-robot interaction have to be made. Non-verbal communication is one such way of conveying information between robots and humans. In spite of its great potential, the current state of research is fairly limited. The goal of this research is to create a control framework that could generate movements with the flexibility to convey information by adapting the movement trajectories. Other studies have mainly researched non-verbal interaction using an optimized feedforward controller. Humans are however able to move without learning all movement sequences in advance, which is the motivation to solely focus on feedback controlled motions in current research. Considering the motion metrics traveled path, electrical power, gravitational torque and end-effector jerk, the proportional-derivative controller in the workspace proves to be best capable of producing the most human-like motions. The control framework for communicating non-verbally consists of an Operational Space Control hierarchy, combining the aforementioned controller and a novel method minimizing the gravitational torque during movement. Furthermore, human-likeness is even further increased by imposing joint limits based on the human extremes. These limits cause potential local minima, which prevent the controller from reaching the desired final position. Introducing an extra, unusual coordinate helps overcoming these minima taking into consideration the angle between current and final position. With these components included, the framework is able to reach any desired location taking into consideration human-likeness and maximum joint angle constraints. The Labanotation is used to describe the different motions to be conducted, the same way as is done with human dancing motions. Combining this representation with the Laban Time, Space and Weight Effort, it is now possible to conduct different movements. Professional dancers were asked to participate in an experiment, resulting in the relation between the end-effector trajectories and the Laban Basic Efforts: dab, flick, float and glide. These trajectories were used to optimize the gains within the control framework. The procedure was run for different initial and final desired positions, resulting in four sets of control gains corresponding to each of the four Efforts. Different motions are obtained using the four different control sets. Simulation shows that direct and flexible motions (Space Effort) are distinguishable by the shortest trajectories opposed to longer traveling distances respectively. High gravitational torque gains and low spring and damping gains result in more flexible motions. Furthermore, sustained and sudden motions (Time Effort) differ by the time the end-effector needs to reach the desired position. Sudden motions show to have higher spring-damping ratios with respect to sustained motions. In summary, the general… Advisors/Committee Members: Lopes, G.A.D. (mentor).

▼ Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) form a class of robotic manipulator in which the actuation is transmitted through cables. Due to the unique characteristics and advantages of cable transmission, CDPRs have become increasingly studied in recent years. In this thesis, the study of operational space motion generation of CDPRs is investigated. The operational space corresponds to the space in which a task to be executed by an end effector is defined. The generation of operational space motions on CDPRs allows the specification of tasks to be intuitive to human users, in addition to enabling the application of CDPRs to tasks exploiting their human-like configurations. The study of CDPR operational space motion generation has been limited due to several reasons. Firstly, cable transmission results in both redundant and constrained actuation. This means that it is possible for a motion to be either infeasible or for there to be an infinite number of different actuation profiles which can produce the same desired motion. Secondly, in the case of multi-link CDPRs (MCDRs) the generalised coordinates differ from that of the end effector. This means that there may be infinite different joint space motions which achieve the same operational space behaviour. The study of MCDR operational space motion generation therefore must consider both a means of ensuring that a feasible solution exists and a means of selecting a particular joint space solution from the possibly infinite set. Finally, in the implementation and evaluation of different CDPR motion generation schemes there is currently no software which can consider all possible CDPR models and hardware interfaces. These issues are investigated within this thesis and presented as two separate parts. The first part develops a generalised framework for the operational space motion generation of CDPRs. To understand the requirements of CDPR motion generation, this part firstly considers quantifications of CDPR motion generation capability, in which new metrics are proposed to indicate the capability of a CDPR to produce additional acceleration and to identify the magnitude of cable force necessary to produce an arbitrary joint space wrench. An expansive search tree inspired formulation is then presented with which to solve MCDR operational space motion planning problems while ensuring solution feasibility. The effectiveness and robustness of this method is demonstrated through a set of different operational space motion tracking problems solved on two different MCDRs. The second part of the thesis addresses the development of a generalised CDPR simulation and hardware interfacing software tool. The cable-robot analysis and simulation platform for research (CASPR) is presented and shown to provide a modular and extendible software framework in which new CDPRs can be easily added through simple XML specifications. The proposed framework is open source and allows for common kinematic and dynamic CDPR problems to be solved using a range of different algorithms. To allow for…

Traditionally Operational Leases have been exempted from being recognized on the balance sheet of the financial statements. With the new leasing regulation presented by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB); International Financial Reporting Standards 16 (IFRS 16), with effective date of 2019‐01‐01 operational leases are to be accounted for as finance leases, being capitalized into the balance sheet as a right of use asset and lease liabilities. This will affect the financial statement considerably for some heavy users of operational leases, such as retailers, whereas another factor that also have an impact is balance sheet composition before implementation. Many key ratios will also be affected and it is expected that for some long‐term companies, such as production companies, will take the lease or buy decision up for more serious discussion. This is because operational leasing no longer can be used to balance financing and debt as it has been used in the past. The implementation of the standard will be considerably heavier administration‐wise for companies with no previous financing leases since they do not currently have system support for lease valuations or advanced administration processes surrounding operational leases. This is common for firms with leased space as a big part of their operations, such as retailers. Implementation will be a big project for many enterprises and the effect on the balance sheet may be finished very close to effective date, resulting in that some shortcuts may be taken. This could result in a higher lease debt than necessary as there are many assumptions and interpretations to be made during the implementation process. These assumptions and adjustments are expected to be continuously worked on by companies to reevaluate and decrease lease debt, where incentives to do so exist. A qualitative interactive inductive approach, using semi‐structured interviews is used in this study to explore and dig deeper into possible strategic redesigns of contractual clauses to decrease the effect this standard would have on financial statements. The possible strategies described are to be viewed as possible changes that would reduce the effect on the balance sheet where a company has incentives to do so. There also seem to be changes within the retail market that could change contract structure in the future, independently of IFRS 16. However, these changes could in turn be used to argue for assessments regarding lease terms that would decrease the effect on a company’s balance sheet in accordance with IFRS 16.

Historiskt sätt så har operationella leasingavtal varit undantagna från att tas upp i balansräkningen i de finansiella rapporterna. Med anledningen av nya redovisningsrekommendationer av IASB; IFRS 16 – Leasing, med start 2019‐01‐01, kommer operationella leasingavtal inte längre att…

▼ Humans are capable of executing a wide variety of complex and dexterous motor behavior with grace and elegance. We would like to understand the computational principals underlying their sensorimotor control, both for the advancement of neuroscience, as well as to achieve similar performance on artificial machines. I study the problem via two approaches: motor control experiments on human subjects, and the implementation of control models on anthropomorphic hardware. In one experiment, we use a novel exoskeleton platform that permits us to alter arm dynamics by applying torques to specific joints during full 3-D motion, and study how arm redundancy is utilized. Results of this experiments suggest that: 1) humans are able to learn, and later predict, novel dynamic environments, 2) humans plan motion in an extrinsic hand, or end-effector oriented space, and 3) joint redundancy can be utilized in order to assure task achievement. In a second experiment, we attempt to create a dynamic environment that effects motor cost, but not accuracy: if a force perturbation first pushes the hand off-course in one direction and then subsequently in the opposite direction, the reaching task may still be achieved with minimal correction, but a strongly curved trajectory. Under such conditions, subjects learn to return their trajectories towards the baseline, or null field trajectory, effectively fighting this disturbance in order to maintain a straight trajectory. These results are inconsistent with theories suggesting that perceived kinematic error plays no role in motor adaptation. I will demonstrate how improved predictions can be obtained with a stochastic optimal controller using a directionally biased cost function. In second part of my dissertation, I discuss how to obtain robust, compliant, human-like motion of humanoid robots, via task-space, model-based, feed-forward control.; I will explain the challenges of doing so, namely under-actuation due to the "floating" base unattached to the world, the generally unknown contact forces, and the ill-posed nature of floating base inverse dynamics. I will show how to overcome these obstacles by planning task-space motion in a sufficiently constrained space, and by computing inverse dynamics torques by first projecting the system dynamics into a reduced dimensional space which is independent of contact forces.

▼ Cette thèse résume le travail que j’ai effectué dans le domaine de l'optimisation des réseaux optiques sans fil. Plus spécifiquement, l'objectif principal de ce travail est de proposer des algorithmes efficaces de dimensionnement de réseau pour assurer la satisfaction du trafic dans un réseau qui subit des pannes partielles de liens (par exemple lorsque certains liens et/ou nœuds sont opérationnels avec une capacité réduite) causés principalement par les conditions météorologiques. Le critère principal pour déterminer l'efficacité des algorithmes proposés est le coût de dimensionnement du réseau tout en maintenant la satisfaction du trafic à des niveaux élevés. Les domaines d'application principale que nous avons à l'esprit sont les réseaux qui utilisent le Free Space Optics (FSO) - une technologie de transmission optique sans fil à large bande où les liens de communication sont assurés au moyen d'un faisceau laser envoyé de l'émetteur au récepteur placé en ligne droite. Les réseaux FSO présentent plusieurs avantages (comme le coût peu élevé, la facilite d'installation, la grande capacité de transmission, etc.), mais le plus grand inconvénient est la vulnérabilité des liens FSO face aux conditions météorologiques, causant une perte substantielle de la puissance de transmission sur le canal optique. Cela rend le problème de dimensionnement du réseau important et difficile. Par conséquent, une approche appropriée du dimensionnement du réseau FSO devrait tenir compte de ces pertes afin que le niveau du trafic transporté soit satisfaisant dans toutes les conditions météorologiques observées. Dans cette thèse, nous avons étudié et développé une telle approche. Dans la première partie de la thèse, nous introduisons un premier problème de dimensionnement, qui a pour objectif d’être le plus général possible et inclue les contraintes les plus importantes. Nous présentons ensuite un algorithme d'optimisation robuste pour ce problème de dimensionnement. Pour construire notre approche, nous commençons par définir un ensemble de défaillances des liens, dit de référence, qui utilise les données météorologiques d’une période donnée pour laquelle le réseau doit être protégé. Ensuite, nous formulons mathématiquement le problème de dimensionnement robuste de réseau qui utilise l'ensemble des pannes de liens ci-dessus. Pourtant, cet ensemble des pannes de référence obtenu contiendra, dans la plupart des cas, un nombre excessif d'états et en même temps ne contiendra pas tous les états qui apparaîtront potentiellement dans le futur. Par conséquent, nous proposons d'approximer cet ensemble par un type spécial d'ensemble de défaillances des liens virtuel (dite ensemble d’incertitude), appelé K-set et paramétré par une valeur entière K, où K est inférieur ou égal au nombre de tous les liens du réseau. Pour un K donné, le K-set contient tous les états du réseau correspondant à toutes les combinaisons de K, ou moins, des liens affectés simultanément. Dans certains cas, il y a des situations où la météo est extrêmement mauvaise et pour lequel… Advisors/Committee Members: Nace, Dritan (thesis director), Pióro, Michał (thesis director).

▼ Humanoid robots are increasingly demanded to operate in interactive and human-surrounded environments while achieving sophisticated locomotion and manipulation tasks. To accomplish these tasks, roboticists unremittingly seek for advanced methods that generate whole-body coordination behaviors and meanwhile fulfill various planning and control objectives. Undoubtedly, these goals pose fundamental challenges to the robotics and control community. To take an incremental step towards reducing the performance gap between theoretical foundations and real implementations, we present a planning and control framework for the humanoid, especially legged robots, for achieving high performance and generating agile motions. A particular concentration is on the robust, optimal and real-time performance. This framework constitutes three hierarchical layers, which are presented from the following perspectives. First, we present a robust optimal phase-space planning framework for dynamic legged locomotion over rough terrain. This framework is a hybrid motion planner incorporating a series of pivotal components. Via centroidal momentum dynamics, we define a new class of locomotion phase-space manifolds, as a Riemannian distance metric, and propose a robust optimal controller to recover from external disturbances at runtime. The agility and robustness capabilities of our proposed framework are illustrated in (i) simulations of dynamic maneuvers over diverse challenging terrains and under external disturbances; (ii) experimental implementations on our point-feet bipedal robot. Second, we take a step toward formally synthesizing high-level reactive planners for whole-body locomotion in constrained environments. We formulate a two-player temporal logic game between the contact planner and its possibly-adversarial environment. The resulting discrete planner satisfies the given task specifications expressed as a fragment of temporal logic. The provable correctness of the low-level execution of the synthesized discrete planner is guaranteed through the so-called simulation relations. We conjecture that this theoretical advance has the potential to act as an entry point for the humanoid community to employ formal methods for the planner verification and synthesis. Third, we propose a distributed control architecture for the latency-prone humanoid robotic systems. A central experimental phenomenon is observed that the stability of high impedance distributed controllers is highly sensitive to damping feedback delay but much less to stiffness feedback delay. We pursue a detailed analysis of the distributed controllers where damping feedback effort is executed in proximity to the control plant, and stiffness feedback effort is implemented in a latency-prone centralized control process. Critically-damped gain selection criteria are designed for not only rigid but also series elastic actuators (SEAs). In particular, we devise a novel impedance performance metric, defined as “Z-region”, simultaneously quantifying the achievable SEA impedance… Advisors/Committee Members: Sentis, Luis (advisor), Fernandez, Benito R (committee member), Stone, Peter (committee member), Bakolas, Efstathios (committee member), Topcu, Ufuk (committee member), Fahrenthold, Eric P (committee member).

▼ Traditional network design problems only consider the long-term stationary travel patterns (e.g., fixed OD demand) and short-term variations of human mobility are ignored. This study aims to integrate human mobility characteristics and travel patterns into network design problems using a space-time network structure. Emerging technologies such as location-based social network platforms provide a unique opportunity for understanding human mobility patterns that can lead to advanced modeling techniques. To reach our goal, at first multimodal network design problems are investigated by considering safety and flow interactions between different modes of transport. We develop a network reconstruction method to expand a single-modal transportation network to a multi-modal network where flow interactions between different modes can be quantified. Then, in our second task, we investigate the trajectory of moving objects to see how they can reveal detailed information about human travel characteristics and presence probability with high-resolution detail. A time geography-based methodology is proposed to not only estimate an individual’s space-time trajectory based on his/her limited space-time sample points but also to quantify the accuracy of this estimation in a robust manner. A series of measures including activity bandwidth and normalized activity bandwidth are proposed to quantify the accuracy of trajectory estimation, and cutoff points are suggested for screening data records for mobility analysis. Finally, a space-time network-based modeling framework is proposed to integrate human mobility into network design problems. We construct a probabilistic network structure to quantify human’s presence probability at different locations and time. Then, a Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model is proposed to maximize the spatial and temporal coverage of individual targets. To achieve near optimal solutions for large-scale problems, greedy heuristic, Lagrangian relaxation and simulated annealing algorithms are implemented to solve the problem. The proposed algorithms are implemented on hypothetical and real world numerical examples to demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of the methodology on different network sizes and promising results have been obtained.

▼ The rapid increase of the number of objects in orbit around the Earth poses a serious threat to operational spacecraft and astronauts. In order to effectively avoid collisions, mission operators need to assess the risk of collision between the satellite and any other object whose orbit is likely to approach its trajectory. Several algorithms predict the probability of collision but have limitations that impair the accuracy of the prediction. An important limitation is that uncertainties in the atmospheric density are usually not taken into account in the propagation of the covariance matrix from current epoch to closest approach time. The Spacecraft Orbital Characterization Kit (SpOCK) was developed to accurately predict the positions and velocities of spacecraft. The central capability of SpOCK is a high accuracy numerical propagator of spacecraft orbits and computations of ancillary parameters. The numerical integration uses a comprehensive modeling of the dynamics of spacecraft in orbit that includes all the perturbing forces that a spacecraft is subject to in orbit. In particular, the atmospheric density is modeled by thermospheric models to allow for an accurate representation of the atmospheric drag. SpOCK predicts the probability of collision between two orbiting objects taking into account the uncertainties in the atmospheric density. Monte Carlo procedures are used to perturb the initial position and velocity of the primary and secondary spacecraft from their covariance matrices. Developed in C, SpOCK supports parallelism to quickly assess the risk of collision so it can be used operationally in real time. The upper atmosphere of the Earth is strongly driven by the solar activity. In particular, abrupt transitions from slow to fast solar wind cause important disturbances of the atmospheric density, hence of the drag acceleration that spacecraft are subject to. The Probability Distribution Function (PDF) model was developed to predict the solar wind speed five days in advance. In particular, the PDF model is able to predict rapid enhancements in the solar wind speed. It was found that 60% of the positive predictions were correct, while 91% of the negative predictions were correct, and 20% to 33% of the peaks in the speed were found by the model. En-semble forecasts provide the forecasters with an estimation of the uncertainty in the prediction, which can be used to derive uncertainties in the atmospheric density and in the drag acceleration. The dissertation then demonstrates that uncertainties in the atmospheric density result in large uncertainties in the prediction of the probability of collision. As an example, the effects of a geomagnetic storm on the probability of collision are illustrated. The research aims at providing tools and analyses that help understand and predict the effects of uncertainties in the atmospheric density on the probability of collision. The ultimate motivation is to support mission operators in making the correct decision with regard to a potential collision avoidance maneuver by… Advisors/Committee Members: Ridley, Aaron James (committee member), Girard, Anouck Renee (committee member), Getchius, Joel (committee member), Moldwin, Mark (committee member), Zou, Shasha (committee member).
