Geen robots, maar wat meer Amerikaanse toestanden in onze restaurants graag.

Research and development of robots which can support elderly or disabled people is pursued to increase the quality of home care. With the ever increasing quality and functions of robots, full-time care by these robots becomes feasible. To make the robot function without any human interferences, the robot …

The use of robots as educational tools provide a stimulating environment for students. Some robotics competitions focus on primary and secondary school aged children, and serve as a motivation factor for students to get involved in educational robotics activities. But, in most competitions students are …

A multilayer scheme is here proposed to implement coordinated control of a group of mobile robots. Specifically, a trajectory tracking controller is proposed to coordinately guide a platoon of robots, with an obstacle deviation subsystem based on virtual forces and mechanical impedance implemented in …

This work provides a feasibility study on estimating the 3-D locations of several thousand miniaturized free-floating sensor platforms. The localization is performed on basis of sparse ultrasound range measurements between sensor platforms and without the use of beacons. We show that this task can be …

Gaan robots echt al ons werk overnemen?

This report is written to conclude the graduation project on the subject of building a vehicle tracking using a computer vision system. This project researches the methods required to build a computer vision system – able to track individual object. The system aims to track objects such as vehicles – …

Recently, the use of military robots – which may be drones, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), remotely piloted systems, autonomous weapon systems or ‘killer robots’ – has been debated in the media, politics, and academia. Military robots are increasingly automated, which means that they can perform tasks …

Dit boekje is bedoeld als een handreiking aan professionals die werken met knuffelrobots bij mensen met dementie. We hebben op dit gebied twee jaar lang onderzoek gedaan en hebben daarbij enorme steun gehad van professionals die hun inzichten en ervaringen, maar ook hun vragen en twijfels wilden delen. En …

Het afstudeerverslag omschrijft het ontwikkelingsproces van een real-time lokaliseringssysteem. Het systeem maakt gebruik van een laser en een camera-module om nabije objecten te lokaliseren. Het doel van het systeem is om autonome robots nabije objecten te laten detecteren en omzeilen. Het ontwikkelingsproces …
