Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Future assembly technologies will involve higher levels of automation in order to satisfy increased microscale or nanoscale precision requirements. Traditionally, assembly using a top-down robotic approach has been well-studied and applied to the microelectronics and MEMS industries, but less so in nanotechnology. With the boom of nanotechnology since the 1990s, newly designed products with new materials, coatings, and nanoparticles are gradually entering everyone’s lives, while the industry has grown into a billion-dollar volume worldwide. Traditionally, nanotechnology products are assembled using bottom-up methods, such as self-assembly, rather than top-down robotic assembly. This is due to considerations of volume handling of large …

Development Of Novel Compound Controllers To Reduce Chattering Of Sliding Mode Control, Mehran Rahmani
Theses and Dissertations
The robotics and dynamic systems constantly encountered with disturbances such as micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscope under disturbances result in mechanical coupling terms between two axes, friction forces in exoskeleton robot joints, and unmodelled dynamics of robot manipulator. Sliding mode control (SMC) is a robust controller. The main drawback of the sliding mode controller is that it produces high-frequency control signals, which leads to chattering. The research objective is to reduce chattering, improve robustness, and increase trajectory tracking of SMC. In this research, we developed controllers for three different dynamic systems: (i) MEMS, (ii) an Exoskeleton type robot, and …

Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Novel smart technologies such as wearable devices and unconventional robotics have been enabled by advancements in semiconductor technologies, which have miniaturized the sizes of transistors and sensors. These technologies promise great improvements to public health. However, current computational paradigms are ill-suited for use in novel smart technologies as they fail to meet their strict power and size requirements. In this dissertation, we present two bio-inspired colocalized sensing-and-computing schemes performed at the sensor level: continuous-time recurrent neural networks (CTRNNs) and reservoir computers (RCs). These schemes arise from the nonlinear dynamics of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), which facilitates computing, and the inherent ability …

Abstract: For the integrated navigation system of the single-antenna GNSS-assisted MEMS strap-down inertial navigation system (MINS), the heading angle divergence is invalid when the vehicle is stationary and linear motion, and the error is large. The method of the dual-antenna GNSS-assisted MINS integrated navigation based on EKF is proposed. The error state model is established, and the extended Kalman filter combined filter (EKF) algorithm is designsed for simulation verification. The driving test is carried out by comparing the high-precision SPAN-CPT. The results show that the yaw angle and pitch angle accuracy are 0.2 RMS, 0.3 RMS, which can be used …
