An actuated flexible spinal mechanism for a bounding quadrupedal robot
(Bilkent University, 2012)Evolution and experience based learning have given animals body structures and motion capabilities to survive in the nature by achieving many complicated tasks. Among these animals, legged vertebrates use their musculoskeletal ... -
A backwards theorem prover with focusing, resource management and constraints for robotic planning within intuitionistic linear logic
(Bilkent University, 2010)The main scope of this thesis is implementing a backwards theorem prover with focusing, resource management and constraints within the intuitionistic first-order linear logic for robotic planning problems. To this end, ... -
Detection of tree trunks as visual landmarks in outdoor environments
(Bilkent University, 2010)One of the basic problems to be addressed for a robot navigating in an outdoor environment is the tracking of its position and state. A fundamental first step in using algorithms for solving this problem, such as various ... -
Experiments in integrating constraints with logical reasoning for robotic planning within the twelf logical framework and the prolog language
(Bilkent University, 2008)The underlying domain of various application areas, especially real-time systems and robotic applications, generally includes a combination of both discrete and continuous properties. In robotic applications, a large ... -
Improving visual SLAM by filtering outliers with the aid of optical flow
(Bilkent University, 2011)Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) for mobile robots has been one of the challenging problems for the robotics community. Extensive study of this problem in recent years has somewhat saturated the theoretical ... -
Line segment based range scan matching without pose information for indoor environments
(Bilkent University, 2008)A mobile robot exploring an unknown environment often needs to keep track of its pose through its sensors. Range scan matching is a way of computing the pose difference of a robot at two different locations on the ... -
The Universal robot bus : a local communication infrastructure for small robots
(Bilkent University, 2008-12)Design and construction of small autonomous mobile robots is a challenging task that involves the selection, interfacing and programming of a large number of sensor and actuator components. Facilitating this tedious process ... -
An USB-based real-time communication infrastructure for robotic platforms
(Bilkent University, 2009)A typical robot operates by carrying out a sequence of tasks, usually consisting of acquisition of sensory data, interpretation of sensory inputs for making decisions, and application of commands on appropriate actuators. ...
