Autonomous Navigator Mobile Robot Upgrade, David Sansoucy Apr 2022

Autonomous Navigator Mobile Robot Upgrade, David Sansoucy

Thinking Matters Symposium

The mobile robot platform has been developed over the course of 10 years at USM. In Spring 2020, Belle-Isle and Werner updated the previous framework by rewriting the software to use the ROS framework running on an on-board Raspberry Pi 3. They also implemented navigation using an A* motion planning algorithm and image processing. In Summer 2021, Ames incorporated Lidar and Kinect sensors onto the robot to improve its real-time navigation capabilities. He also made improvements to the power distribution systems. This project aimed to build on the ROS frameworks developed by the previous 2 teams with the main goal …


Research On Simulation Platform For Equipment System Analysis, Yuping Li, Shaojie Mao, Zhenqi Ju, Zhou Fang, Guoqiang Yan Dec 2019

Research On Simulation Platform For Equipment System Analysis, Yuping Li, Shaojie Mao, Zhenqi Ju, Zhou Fang, Guoqiang Yan

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: With the development of equipment construction from platform-centric to network-centric, simulation analysis of equipment system is an important means and tool to support the transformation and development of equipment construction under the condition of multi-task joint operation. Starting from the requirement of system simulation analysis, a cloud-based equipment system simulation architecture is proposed to realize flexible and configurable simulation environment according to task requirements; and a high-performance simulation framework is conducted, which provides strong support for different application modes, such as parallel hyper-real-time and distributed simulation deduction. The unified description, organization and management method of model and data resources …


Survey On Modeling And Simulation Of Internet Public Opinion In China, Mingxin Zhang Dec 2019

Survey On Modeling And Simulation Of Internet Public Opinion In China, Mingxin Zhang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Modeling and Simulation of Internet public opinion can analyze the causes of public opinion and its transmission path, track and predict the trend of public opinion, so as to improve the ability of public opinion guidance for its control departments. This paper reviews and analyses the existing research on Modeling and simulation of Internet public opinion. From the point of view of research directions, the current research covers many directions, mainly including the evolution mechanism of Internet public opinion and the effectiveness of guidance mechanism. From the point of view of research methods, domestic research on Internet public opinion …


Autonomous Driving Platform Performance Analysis, Charles R. Rickarby Jan 2017

Autonomous Driving Platform Performance Analysis, Charles R. Rickarby

Honors Theses and Capstones

Through data analysis of various plots and figures it will be possible to determine the best control parameters to get the best performance out of the autonomous driving platform. This data, presented in this thesis, will show quantitatively what the best control strategies are through comparison of different versions of the platform.


Assessment Of The Stability Of A Four Legged Robot Manipulator, Dr. Awad Eisa G. Mohamed Aug 2015

Assessment Of The Stability Of A Four Legged Robot Manipulator, Dr. Awad Eisa G. Mohamed

Innovative Research Publications IRP India

This paper deals with static stability of a four legged robot manipulator when it moves with trot gait. In this paper, the stability analysis based on dynamics of walking usually proposed for the analysis of walking system studied and identified its limits and ambiguity. After identifying the key issues of stability, it has been identified that moment around the supporting diagonal line of quadruped in trotting gait largely influences walking stability. Therefore Moment around the supporting diagonal line of quadruped in trotting gait is modeled and its effects on body attitude (roll and pitch) are analyzed. The degree of influence …
