Performance of Super-Resolution Enhancement for Flash LADAR Data

August 21, 2008
Author(s)
Tsai Hong Hong, Shuowen Hu, S. S. Young
Flash laser detection and ranging (LADAR) systems are increasingly used in robotics applications for autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance. Their compact size, high frame rate, wide field of view, and low cost are key advantages over traditional

An Integrated Control and Simulation Environment for Mobile Robot Software Development

August 7, 2008
Author(s)
Stephen B. Balakirsky, Frederick M. Proctor, Christopher J. Scrapper Jr, Thomas Kramer
In order to expedite the research and development of robotic systems and foster development of novel robot configuration, is it essential to develop tools and standards that allow researchers to rapidly develop, communicate, and compare experimental

Open Architecture Software Design for Online Spindle Health Monitoring

May 1, 2007
Author(s)
Kang B. Lee, Robert Gao, Ruqiang Yan, Li Zhang
This paper presents open systems architecture-based software design for an online spindle health monitoring system. The software is implemented using the graphical programming language of LabVIEW, and presents the spindle health status in two types of

Process Monitoring of Turning and Model Adaptation for Smart Machining Systems

March 1, 2007
Author(s)
Jarred C. Heigel, Robert W. Ivester
Smart Machining Systems improve manufacturing efficiency using optimization based on process models. Cutting force models developed from a narrow set of empirical data provide insight into the physical properties of cutting, but the extreme physical

A Single Discharge Study of Micro-EDM

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
Shawn P. Moylan
Micro-Electro-Discharge Machining (micro-EDM) is gaining in popularity within the micro- and meso-scale machining community. The process is very well suited to machining small, intricate features in any type of conductive material because material removal

Performance Evaluation of a Prototype Machine Tool for Machining Meso-scaled Parts

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
Bradley N. Damazo, M A. Donmez, Michael L. McGlauflin, J B. Werkmeister, Johannes A. Soons, S C. Bryant, Alex Slocum
With the increased prevalence of meso-scaled products and feature sizes, new tools are needed to bridge the gap between fabrication processes tailored for micrometer and millimeter sized features [1-4]. Compared to its traditional counterpart, a small

Understanding Part Fabrication Errors in Closed-Loop Machining Systems

June 1, 2002
Author(s)
Herbert T. Bandy, Lawrence A. Welsch
This paper presents an analysis of part fabrication errors (part dimension and form deviations) in closed-loop machining systems. Modeling methods are used to situate error components in the context of other error components to clarify the effects of error

A Methodology for Compensating Errors Detected by Process-Intermittent Inspection

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
Herbert T. Bandy, M A. Donmez, David E. Gilsinn, Michael Kennedy, Kenneth W. Yee, Alice V. Ling, Neil D. Wilkin
This report describes principles and methodology for compensating geometric errors of machined parts due to machining processes. The error tendencies are identified by on-machine inspection of the part before the finish cut. Tool path adjustments
