▼ This thesis experimentally explores soft robotics in its characteristics of dynamics and control. Several types of robots with capability in locomotion and manipulation are developed. At first, the thesis presents the exploration of dynamic performance of soft actuator based robotics by validating jumping locomotion. This chapter starts with the dynamic characterization of a disc shape soft actuator and a conceptualized prototype of jumping robot. Another part is the compensation of manufacturing deficiency within the soft actuator by using a machine learning algorithm, namely making the jumping robot "aware" of its "own insufficiency" and adaptively improving its performance. Later, we report a dexterous soft actuator for robotic hand or end-effector with complete design, manufacturing, and tests that is able to realize rapid soft actuations. The dexterous soft actuator is modified from the multi-segment actuator developed in jumping robot. The static performance of dexterous soft actuator is characterized with a number of experiments. The effects of material selection, fiber reinforcement and design criterions on the dexterous soft actuator are carefully studied and validated. One important objective of this thesis is to enable the control of soft robotics or soft actuator based robotics. Currently, several inherent disadvantages inhibit the soft robotics or actuators from being well controlled, out of which large oscillation and manufacturing deficiency are the most significant. In this thesis, an effective methodology is proposed to alleviate the undesired oscillation within a dexterous soft actuator. Therefore, the feedback bending degree control of this actuator is enabled. A bending control mechanism for a dexterous soft actuator using flex bending sensors is also presented. To alleviate the oscillation of the dexterous soft actuator during a quick actuation, a soft spring damper system is designed and evaluated. Based on this soft spring damper system, a feedback control of bending is developed and tested. Experimental results have proven that the bending control can only be enabled with the developed soft spring damper system integrated. In the end, the thesis points out the insufficiencies and problems facing the current development of soft robotics. Lack of theoretical foundation and insufficient experimental analysis hold back the further application of soft robotics. A series of prospective topics, including new materials, soft robotics oriented controller and on-board power system, are proposed for the potential advancement of the research in soft robotics, in both academia and industry.

▼ A vision system is an integral component of many autonomous robots. It enables the robot to perform essential tasks such as mapping, localization, or path planning. A vision system also assists with guiding the robot's grasping and manipulation tasks. As an increased demand is placed on service robots to operate in uncontrolled environments, advanced vision systems must be created that can function effectively in visually complex and cluttered settings. This thesis presents the development of segmentation algorithms to assist in online model acquisition for guiding robotic manipulation tasks. Specifically, the focus is placed on localizing door handles to assist in robotic door opening, and on acquiring partial object models to guide robotic grasping. . First, a method for localizing a door handle of unknown geometry based on a proposed 3D segmentation method is presented. Following segmentation, localization is performed by fitting a simple box model to the segmented handle. The proposed method functions without requiring assumptions about the appearance of the handle or the door, and without a geometric model of the handle. Next, an object segmentation algorithm is developed, which combines multiple appearance (intensity and texture) and geometric (depth and curvature) cues. The algorithm is able to segment objects without utilizing any a priori appearance or geometric information in visually complex and cluttered environments. The segmentation method is based on the Conditional Random Fields (CRF) framework, and the graph cuts energy minimization technique. A simple and efficient method for initializing the proposed algorithm which overcomes graph cuts' reliance on user interaction is also developed. Finally, an improved segmentation algorithm is developed which incorporates a distance metric learning (DML) step as a means of weighing various appearance and geometric segmentation cues, allowing the method to better adapt to the available data. The improved method also models the distribution of 3D points in space as a distribution of algebraic distances from an ellipsoid fitted to the object, improving the method's ability to predict which points are likely to belong to the object or the background. Experimental validation of all methods is performed. Each method is evaluated in a realistic setting, utilizing scenarios of various complexities. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the handle localization method, and the object segmentation methods. Advisors/Committee Members: Ryerson University (Degree grantor).

▼ This dissertation describes the kineto-elastic analysis and component structural dynamic model updating of serial modular reconfigurable robots (MRRs). In general, kineto-elastic analysis is concerned with the structural vibrations, elastic deflections, and torque transmissions of robots which undergo motion from one pose (position and orientation) to another. This work focuses on the kineto-elastic analysis of MRRs undergoing low-speed quasi-static motion. When determining an MRR's payload capacity, or designing MRR modules, the main difficulty is the large number of module configurations and the infinite number of poses within each configuration. Also, the kineto-elastic models of MRRs can become quite large with an increasing number of modules, thereby increasing the numerical complexity. Furthermore, the analytical models of individual MRR components may contain uncertainties, such as unknown stiffness and material parameters, which may lead to large errors for assembled MRR models. To alleviate these issues, a new framework was developed for the kineto-elastic analysis of MRR modules with an emphasis on assessing the worst-case poses. First, a combinatory search method was presented to reduce the computational burdens associated with determining the maximum payload capacity, and performing the module stiffness designs. This involved identifying the worst-case configuration and pose amongst a large number of configurations and infinite number of poses. Afterwards, it was demonstrated that the determination of an MRR's payload capacity, as well as the module stiffness designs, can be performed at the worst-case pose and configuration to satisfy a global set of kineto-elastic performance requirements for all remaining configurations. Next, a new component mode synthesis (CMS) model with fixed-free component boundaries was developed to reduce the sizes of kineto-elastic models, mimic natural link-joint connectivity, and allow experimental tests of joint modules in multiple poses to enable test-analysis model correlation. Finally, a novel method was created to update the uncertain model parameters of joint and link modules using frequency response data from component vibration tests in multiple poses (including the worst cases), with boundary conditions matching those from the CMS models. This procedure can completely avoid testing an entire assembly to perform model updating, and can provide accurate updated model results in any assembly pose.

Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Electrical Engineering 2015

Robots will transform our daily lives in the near future by moving from controlled industrial lines to unstructured and uncertain environments such as home, offices, or outdoors with various applications from healthcare, service, to defense. Nevertheless, two fundamental problems remain unsolved for robots to work in such environments. On one hand, how to design robots, especially meso-scale ones with sizes of a few centimeters, with multiple locomotion abilities to travel in the unstructured environment is still a daunting task. On the other hand, how to control such robots to dynamically interact with the uncertain environment for agile and robust locomotion also requires tremendous efforts. This dissertation tries to tackle these two problems in the framework of biologically inspired robotics.On the design aspect, it will be shown how biologically principles found in nature can be used to build efficient meso-scale robots with various locomotion abilities such as jumping, wheeling, and aerial maneuvering. Specifically, a robot (MSU Jumper) with continuous jumping ability will be presented. The robot can achieve the following three performances simultaneously. First, it can perform continuous steerable jumping based on the self-righting and the steering capabilities. Second, the robot only requires a single actuator to perform all the functions. Third, the robot has a light weight (23.5 g) to reduce the damage from landing impacts. Based on the MSU Jumper, a robot (MSU Tailbot) with multiple locomotion abilities is discussed. This robot can not only wheel on the ground but also jump up to overcome obstacles. Once leaping into the air, it can also control its body angle using an active tail to dynamically maneuver in mid-air for safe landings.On the control aspect, a novel non-vector space control method that formulates the problem in the space of sets is presented. This method can be easily applied to vision based control by considering images as sets. The advantage of such a method is that there is no need to extract and track features during the control process, which is required by traditional methods. Based on the non-vector space approach, the compressive feedback is proposed to increase the feedback rate and reduce the computation time. This method is ideal for the control of meso-scale robots with limited sensing and computation ability.The bio-inspired design illustrated by the MSU Jumper and MSU Tailbot in this dissertation can be applied to other robot designs. Meanwhile, the non-vector space control with compressive feedbacks lays the foundation for the control of high dynamic meso-scale robots. Together, the biologically inspired method for the design and control of meso-scale robots will pave the way for next generation bio-inspired, low cost, and agile robots.

▼ This thesis presents the research, mechanical design and construction of the lower half of a biped robot. In the long run this work will be developed further to build a service robot to perform repetitive (and often dangerous) tasks and to help disabled people to carry out everyday tasks. The aim of this research project is to develop a humanoid with the agility of a ‘high end’ robot but on a very low budget in comparison. In order to achieve this, several unique mechanical attributes have been proposed and implemented such as dual push rod actuated joint articulation. This technique produces a larger joint torque and reduces leg inertia allowing for the implementation of WCK serial controlled servo modules for actuation. To further increase human-like similarities a toe joint is implemented. This gives the humanoid the ability to stride more elegantly, increase speed control, and reduce energy used for each step. All the parts of this robot have been manufactured from scratch and most have been CNC machined. Solidworks is used as a 3D modelling package to produce a simulated version of the humanoid to determine dimensions and dynamics before construction takes place. SolidCAM is a computer aided machining package which was used to specify machining paths to produce G-Code. An additional 4th axis was added to the CNC machine solely for the purpose of this project as many parts were too intricate and complex for the standard 3 axis machine. A biped humanoid requires several types of sensors for balancing. High accuracy and resolution is of paramount importance for the successful control of the humanoid. Various force sensors are reviewed and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. Gyroscopes and attitude heading reference systems (AHRS) are investigated and tests are performed on all units to obtain operational characteristics and accuracy. Visual Basic.net has been used for developing software for controlling and monitoring all sensors and actuator modules. Essentially a humanoid platform has been developed with appropriate software allowing for the next stage of development, the development of the gait control algorithms.

▼ Robot localization is one of the most important subjects in the Robotics science. It is an interesting and complicated topic. There are many algorithms to solve the problem of localization. Each localization system has its own set of features, and based on them, a solution will be chosen. In my thesis, I want to present a solution to find the best estimate for a robot position in certain space for which a map is available. The thesis started with an elementary introduction to the probability and the Gaussian theories. Simple and advanced practical examples are presented to illustrate each concept related to localization. Extended Kalman Filter is chosen to be the main algorithm to find the best estimate of the robot position. It was presented through two chapters with many examples. All these examples were simulated in Matlab in this thesis in order to give the readers and future students a clear and complete introduction to Kalman Filter. Fortunately, I applied this algorithm on a robot that I have built its base from scratch. MCECS-Bot was a project started in Winter 2012 and it was assigned to me from my adviser, Dr. Marek Perkowski. This robot consists of the base with four Mecanum wheels, the waist based on four linear actuators, an arm, neck and head. The base is equipped with many sensors, which are bumper switches, encoders, sonars, LRF and Kinect. Additional devices can provide extra information as backup sensors, which are a tablet and a camera. The ultimate goal of this thesis is to have the MCECS-Bot as an open source system accessed by many future classes, capstone projects and graduate thesis students for education purposes. A well-known MRPT software system was used to present the results of the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). These results are simply the robot positions estimated by EKF. They are demonstrated on the base floor of the FAB building of PSU. In parallel, simulated results to all different solutions derived in this thesis are presented using Matlab. A future students will have a ready platform and a good start to continue developing this system. Advisors/Committee Members: Marek A. Perkowski.

Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Mechanical Engineering 2019.

Soft robots take advantage of rich nonlinear dynamics and large degrees of freedom to perform actions often by novel means beyond the capability of conventional rigid robots. Nevertheless, there are considerable challenges in analysis, design, and optimization of soft robots due to their complex behaviors. This is especially true for soft robotic swimmers whose dynamics are determined by highly nonlinear fluid-structure interactions. We present a holistic computational framework that employs a multi-objective evolutionary method to optimize feedback controllers for maneuvers of a soft robotic fish under artificial muscle actuation. The resultant fluid-structure interactions are fully solved by using a novel fictitious domain/active strain method, developed to numerically study the swimming motion of thin, light-weight soft robots composed of smart materials that can actively undergo reversible large deformations. We assume the elastic material to be neo-Hookean, and behave like an artificial "muscle'' which, when stimulated, generates a principal stretch of contraction. Instead of imposing active stresses, here we adopt an active strain approach to impose contracting strains to drive elastic deformation following a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient tensor. The hydrodynamic coupling between the fluid and the solid is then resolved by using the fictitious domain method where the induced flow field is virtually extended into the solid domain. Pseudo body forces are employed to enforce the interior fictitious fluid motion to be the same as the structural movement. To demonstrate this method we carry out a series of numerical explorations for soft robotic swimmers of both 2D and 3D geometries that prove these robot prototypes can effectively perform undulatory and jet-propulsion locomotion when active contracting strains are appropriately distributed on elastica.To complete our framework we then demonstrate the design and optimization of a maneuverable, undulatory, soft robotic fish. In particular, we consider a two-dimensional elastic plate with finite thickness, subjected to active contractile strains on both sides of the body. Compared to the conventional approaches that require specifying the entire-body curvature variation, we demonstrate that imposing contractile active strains locally can produce various swimming gaits, such as forward swimming and turning, using far fewer control parameters. The parameters of a pair of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, used to control the amplitude and the bias of the active strains, respectively, are optimized for tracking a moving target involving different trajectories and Reynolds numbers, with three objectives, tracking error, cost of transport, and elastic strain energy. The resulting Pareto fronts of the multi-objective optimization problem reveal the correlation and trade-off among the objectives and offer key insight into the design and control of soft…

▼ The ability to vary the geometry of a wing to adapt to different flight conditions can significantly improve the performance of an aircraft. However, the realization of any morphing concept will typically be accompanied by major challenges. Specifically, the geometrical constraints that are imposed by the shape of the wing and the magnitude of the air and inertia loads make the usage of conventional mechanisms inefficient for morphing applications. Such restrictions have served as inspirations for the design of a modular morphing concept, referred to as the Variable Geometry Wing-box (VGW). The design for the VGW is based on a novel class of reconfigurable robots referred to as Parallel Robots with Enhanced Stiffness (PRES) which are presented in this dissertation. The underlying feature of these robots is the efficient exploitation of redundancies in parallel manipulators. There have been three categories identified in the literature to classify redundancies in parallel manipulators: 1) actuation redundancy, 2) kinematic redundancy, and 3) sensor redundancy. A fourth category is introduced here, referred to as 4) static redundancy. The latter entails several advantages traditionally associated only with actuation redundancy, most significant of which is enhanced stiffness and static characteristics, without any form of actuation redundancy. Additionally, the PRES uses the available redundancies to 1) control more Degrees of Freedom (DOFs) than there are actuators in the system, that is, under-actuate, and 2) provide multiple degrees of fault tolerance. Although the majority of the presented work has been tailored to accommodate the VGW, it can be applied to any comparable system, where enhanced stiffness or static characteristics may be desired without actuation redundancy. In addition to the kinematic and the kinetostatic analyses of the PRES, which are developed and presented in this dissertation along with several case-studies, an optimal motion control algorithm for minimum energy actuation is proposed. Furthermore, the optimal configuration design for the VGW is studied. The optimal configuration design problem is posed in two parts: 1) the optimal limb configuration, and 2) the optimal topological configuration. The former seeks the optimal design of the kinematic joints and links, while the latter seeks the minimal compliance solution to their placement within the design space. In addition to the static and kinematic criteria required for reconfigurability, practical design considerations such as fail-safe requirements and design for minimal aeroelastic impact have been included as constraints in the optimization process. The effectiveness of the proposed design, analysis, and optimization is demonstrated through simulation and a multi-module reconfigurable prototype.
