Rapid Automated Antenna Alignment on Robotic Antenna Ranges

March 17, 2024
Author(s)
Benjamin Moser, Joshua Gordon
We present methods to automate AUT-probe alignment on a robotic antenna range using iterative fitting methods. Data collected during pose refinement is used to characterize offsets to the robot motion frame and the end effector measurement frame with

Continuous Mobile Manipulator Performance Measurement Data

January 18, 2024
Author(s)
Omar Aboul-Enein, Henry Medeiros, Mili Shah, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Roger Bostelman, Ann Virts
Mobile manipulators, which are robotic systems integrating an automatic or autonomous mobile base with a manipulator, can potentially enhance automation in many industrial and unstructured environments. Namely, large-scale manufacturing processes, typical

Design and Implementation of a Closed-Loop Mobile Manipulator Control System

July 28, 2023
Author(s)
Omar Aboul-Enein, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Roger Bostelman, Ann Virts
Mobile manipulators, which integrate a robotic manipulator with an automatic--autonomous mobile base, have the potential to augment automation by combining the capability of navigation with complex manipulation to support unstructured and dynamic

Experiments to Test the A-UGV Capabilities Standard

December 8, 2021
Author(s)
Soocheol Yoon, Roger V. Bostelman, Ann Virts
Automatic, Automated, or Autonomous - Unmanned Ground Vehicles (A-UGVs), as referred to by ASTM International Committee F45, are industrial vehicles that have capabilities to navigate, dock, avoid obstacles, and interact with other vehicles and systems all

INFORMATION MODEL FOR A-UGV PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT STANDARD

November 19, 2020
Author(s)
Soocheol Yoon, Roger V. Bostelman
Automatic through autonomous - Unmanned Ground Vehicles (A-UGVs) have the potential to be applied over a wide range of manufacturing systems under industry 4.0 paradigm. In order to use A-UGVs efficiently in a manufacturing system, it is necessary to

Optical and Mechanical Design of a Telescope for Lunar Spectral Irradiance Measurements from a High-Altitude Aircraft

September 8, 2020
Author(s)
Clarence Zarobila, Steven Grantham, Steven W. Brown, John T. Woodward IV, Stephen Maxwell, Dana R. Defibaugh, Thomas Larason, Kevin Turpie
We have designed a non-imaging telescope for measurement of the spectral irradiance of the moon. The telescope was integrated into a wing pod of a NASA ER-2 research aircraft to measure lunar spectral irradiance during flight. The telescope and support

The Open Academic Robot Kit

July 12, 2017
Author(s)
Raymond K. Sheh, Amy Eguchi, Haldun Komsuoglu, Adam Jacoff
The Open Academic Robot Kit (OARKit) lowers the barrier of entry into robotics research. A community driven initiative, it was developed in the context of the RoboCupRescue Robot League competition to advance the state of research in response robotics. All
