Mcu—Based Robotic Elbow Movement Control, Angelo A. Beltran Jr., Roselito E. Tolentino, Nicomedes C. Javier, Haihang Zhang

Innovative Research Publications IRP India

This paper proposes an MCU based robotic elbow movement control. In recent years, a lot of research has been developed in alignment with mimicking body movement especially in the field of medical and industrial applications. Robotic movement has different implementations. The usual method is through PID controller. However, implementation is complicated, response is slow, and movement control is delayed. Speed is also a problem causing the human arm and robotic arm not synchronized with their movement. In this paper, the fuzzy logic method is substituted to PID control. The MCU is used in the implementation of robotic elbow movement. The …

Efficient Logarithmic Function Approximation, Amjad F. Hajjar, Mohammad H. Awedh

Innovative Research Publications IRP India

A criteria is developed for the approximations of a logarithmic function to piecewise straight lines at multiple segments such that the maximum absolute error is minimized.The optimum cutting points for segmentation are estimated numerically with an exhaustive search. Our hardware implementation is restricted to integer operations (addition and shifting).

A Web-Based Job Management System For Three-Dimensional Printing And Scanning At The University Of North Dakota, Dalyn Limesand, Stephanie Hollman, Jeremy Straub, Scott Kerlin

Jeremy Straub

Three-dimensional (3D) printers have gained popularity for use for many different projects. The work presented herein aims to make this process simpler. This paper discusses a system that will allow individuals from across campus to submit object files for printing by a 3D printer, without having to schedule appointment and manually operate it.

Logistical requirements dictate some level of human involvement, despite a goal of creating a fully automated system. Involvement areas include converting /preparing submitted files, sending the job to the printer, print tray preparation, and completed object removal. From a user’s perspective, however a seamless experience is anticipated. …

Electrical Power System For An Open Hardware Cubesat, Sofiane Chaieb, Michael Wegerson, Jeremy Straub, Ronald Marsh, David Whalen

Jeremy Straub

The OpenOrbiter program is developing a complete set of CubeSat hardware and software to facilitate the development of a 1-U CubeSat (10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm, 1.33 kg spacecraft) with a parts cost of less than $5,000. This poster covers the electrical power system (EPS) for that spacecraft. The EPS is an assemblage of components that supplies all spacecraft subsystems with power, while performing health assessment of the battery and electrical buses. The EPS has a crucial role in the spacecraft and thus has to be developed and tested with extreme care.

The EPS generates power using …

Development Of A Metal-Printing 3d Printer At The University Of North Dakota, Benjamin Kading, Michaela Kegley, Tiana Delzer, Jeremy Straub, Scott Kerlin

Jeremy Straub

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is being used for numerous applications: from consumer hobbies to the development of aircraft parts. However, inexpensive 3D printers have been constrained in material selection to plastic. These printer use the fused deposition modeling (FDM) method of printing, which is a relatively new technology that utilizes computer numerical control (CNC) techniques to deposit melted material at specific places. Other methods, for example, include laser sintering and stereolithography. With 3D printing, layers are stacked upon each other and via this compilation of layers, a 3D object is formed. Currently there are a variety of materials that can be …
