Title
Design of Pipe Inspection Robot
Student
Tan Kok Wei (Oct 1999 - Jan 2002.)
Description
Development of robotic inspection
and repair mechanisms, to replace direct human involvement
in operating in potentially hazardous environments,
has long been, and still is, an intensive subject
of research. However, the concept of developing
Remotely Operated Robots (RORs) to perform maintenance
tasks within confined surroundings is relatively
unknown. Most of the robots available in the market
are developed by either commercial companies or
research institutes. These robots have the capability
to perform either inspection or repair tasks, but
not both. Therefore in our proposed project, we
are trying to develop an internal pipe robot, which
is capable of conducting both inspection and maintenance
tasks in a confined environment. |

Title
Development of a Prototype Biped Robot
Student
Khaw Aik Hau (July 1999 - Sept2001.)
Description
The aim of the research is to build
and study a two legged robot, which eventually will
be self contained in terms of power supply and control.
Currently a second prototype is being built to withstand
greater load. The control is based on the feedback
from the force sensors mounted on the soles of the
feet. Each foot contains its own microprocessor
which calculates the zero moment point (ZMP) which
is also known as the centre of pressure. The approach
is to maintain global stability when the biped robot
is executing a predefined gait such as walking on
flat ground. Since the BasicX microcontroller is
to be used onboard, the kinematics issue can be
a severe problem because it requires high computational
power. Hence, a method was developed to solve the
kinematics fast which is called the polygon mapping
method.. |
