Micro-Bathymetric Mapping Using Acoustic Range Images, Christopher Roman, Hanumant Singh Oct 2004

Micro-Bathymetric Mapping Using Acoustic Range Images, Christopher Roman, Hanumant Singh

Christopher N. Roman

This work focuses on the creation of high resolution micro-bathymetric maps using a high frequency pencil beam sonar. These maps typically cover areas of 10's to 100's of square meters. Data is collected using a sonar mounted to an underwater vehicle that can be positioned at discrete locations on the sea floor or flown in a survey pattern above the bottom. Specifically, we are focused on improving the accuracy of these terrain maps by merging sonar pings taken from multiple vantage points over the same location. This requires the adaption of data registration techniques to handle errors related to the …

Extracting User Intent In Mixed Initiative Teleoperator Control, Andrew H. Fagg, Michael Rosenstein, Robert Platt Jr., Roderic Grupen Dec 2003

Extracting User Intent In Mixed Initiative Teleoperator Control, Andrew H. Fagg, Michael Rosenstein, Robert Platt Jr., Roderic Grupen

Roderic Grupen

User fatigue is common with robot teleoperation interfaces. Mixed initiative control approaches attempt to reduce this fatigue by allowing control responsibility to be shared between the user and an intelligent control system. A critical challenge is how the user can communicate her intentions to the control system in an intuitive manner as possible. In the context of control of a humanoid robot, we propose an interface that uses the movement currently commanded by the user to assess the intended outcome. Specifically, given the observation of the motion of the teleoperated robot for a given period of time, we would like …


Development Of Software For Seismic & Vibration Analysis, Raman K. Attri Dec 2003

Development Of Software For Seismic & Vibration Analysis, Raman K. Attri

Raman K. Attri

Earthquake risk management is an issue of international priority since many countries in the world are affected adversely by sudden earthquake. Frequent earthquakes are being encountered in many parts of the world every year. Recently India had some earthquake in latur, chamoli, Utrakanshi, Bhuj regions. The occurrence of earthquake has been on increase due to geographical changes taking place under the earth crust all over world. The heavy and unpredictable loss of life and destruction of resources have forced the seismologist and instrumentation engineers to develop sophisticated earth quake monitoring instruments with quick data analysis software. The latest development in …
