We present a path planning approach based on probabilistic methods for a robot to navigate in a cluttered, dynamic, unknown environment. There are dynamic obstacles moving around and static obstacles located in the map. The robot does not have any prior information about them but should be able to navigate through the map beginning from a known starting point and safely ending at a known target point. The only information the robot has is the location of the starting point and the target point and it uses sensory information to collect information about its surroundings. Our method is compared to …

This dissertation outlines a novel variation of biogeography-based optimization (BBO), which is an evolutionary algorithm (EA) developed for global optimization. The new algorithm employs opposition-based learning (OBL) alongside BBO migration to create oppositional BBO (OB BO). Additionally, a new opposition method named quasi-reflection is introduced. Quasireflection is based on opposite numbers theory and we mathematically prove that it has the highest expected probability of being closer to the problem solution among all OBL methods that we explore. Performance of quasi-opposition is validated by mathematical analysis for a single-dimensional problem and by simulations for higher dimensions. Experiments are performed on benchmark …

High-Speed Machining (HSM) spindles equipped with Active Magnetic Bearings (AMBs) are envisioned to be capable of autonomous self-identification and performance self-optimization for stable high-speed and high quality machining operation. High-speed machining requires carefully selected parameters for reliable and optimal machining performance. For this reason, the accuracy of the spindle model in terms of physical and dynamic properties is essential to substantiate confidence in its predictive aptitude for subsequent analyses.This dissertation addresses system identification, open-loop model development and updating, and closed-loop model validation. System identification was performed in situ utilizing the existing AMB hardware. A simplified, nominal open-loop rotor model was …
