Novel tele-operation of mobile-manipulator systems
Frejek, Michael C. (2009-08-01)A novel algorithm for the simplified tele-operation of mobile-manipulator systems is presented. The algorithm allows for unified, intuitive, and coordinated control of mobile manipulators, systems comprised of a robotic ... -
Optimization-based mechanism synthesis using multi-objective parallel asynchronous particle swarm optimization
McDougall, Robin David (2008-12-01)A distributed variant of multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) called multi-objective parallel asynchronous particle swarm optimization (MOPAPSO) is presented, and the effects of distribution of objective ... -
Robotic radiation mapping using modelling and probabilistic analysis of sparse data
McDougall, Robin (2015-07-01)An approach for generating radiation intensity maps, comprised of a mobile robotic platform and an integrated radiation model, is presented, and its ability to generate accurate radiation maps in simulation studies as well ... -
Simulation of in-core dose rates for an offline CANDU reactor
Gilbert, Jordan (2016-04-01)This thesis describes the development of a Monte Carlo simulation to predict the dose rates that will be encountered by a novel robotic inspection system for the pressure tubes of an offline CANDU reactor. Simulations were ...
