Elective Course

This paper describes an elective course in mechatronic systems engineering that is project based and team-oriented with hands-on learning. Working in small teams, students add electronic components to a mobile robot base and write the programs required to make the robot perform a series of tasks. Although the application of mobile robots as an educational tool in a mechatronics course is becoming the norm at many universities, the task based organization of the Queen’s mechatronics course is believed to have a number of novel features. The paper will review the pedagogy of the course, including aspects of the student workload, the interplay between teams, and the task based approach to marking and organization of the laboratories.

Ultimate Purpose

This paper describes the first phase in development of a mobile robot that can navigate aerial power transmission lines completely unattended by human operator. Its ultimate purpose is to automate inspection of power transmission lines and their equipments. The authors have developed a scaled functional model of such a mobile robot with a preliminary simple computer based on-off controller. MoboLab (Mobile Laboratory) navigates a power transmission line between two strain towers. It can maneuver over obstructions created by line equipments such as insulators, warning spheres, dampers, and spacer dampers. It can also easily negotiate the towers by its three flexible arms. MoboLab has an internal main screw which enables the robot to move itself or its two front and rear arms independently through changing gripped points. When the front arm gets close to an obstacle, the arm detaches from the line and goes down, the robot moves forward, the arm passes the obstacle and grippes the line again. In a same way another arms pass the obstacle.

ABSTRACT The development of supporting infrastructure is important for the development of a rural area. Supporting infrastructure can be like parks, ponds and buildings that are intended for the public. Abdurrab University's Real Work Lecture (KUKERTA) activity aims to identify problems, analyze problems and provide solutions to problems in the work area. The problem is that RW 02 Kelurahan Muara Fajar Barat, Rumbai District, Pekanbaru City is having a pool that is not maintained by the community. This is very unfortunate because the pool is a housing support infrastructure that has the potential to be utilized for the surrounding community. Through the work program of the Group 15 Real Work Lecture (KUKERTA) Abdurrab University in 2019 conducted a community pool rehabilitation program as an effort to improve supporting infrastructure. The method for carrying out community rehabilitation activities is to educate residents about the importance of supporting infrastructure and invite residents to carry out joint pool rehabilitation. The results achieved from this program are community-owned ponds which were originally covered with shrubs can now be utilized by the surrounding community so that they can be used for freshwater fish farming and it is hoped that the community can take the fish harvest (1spasi) Key words: Infrastructure, Support, Rehabilitation, Pond, Fish   ABSTRAK   Pembangunan infrastruktur penunjang merupakan hal yang penting bagi pengembangan suatu wilayah pedesaan. Infrastuktur penunjang tersebut bisa seperti taman, kolam maupun bangunan yang diperuntukkan untuk umum. Kegiatan Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KUKERTA) Universitas Abdurrab bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi masalah, mengalanisis masalah dan memberikan solusi terhadap masalah di wilayah kerja. Permasalahan yang ada RW 02 Kelurahan Muara Fajar Barat Kecamatan Rumbai Kota Pekanbaru yaitu memiliki kolam milik masyarakat yang tidak terawat. Hal tersebut sangat disayangkan karena kolam tersebut merupakan infrastruktur penunjang perumahan yang memiliki potensi untuk dimanfaatkan bagi masyarakat sekitar. Melalui program kerja Kelompok 15 Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KUKERTA) Universitas Abdurrab Tahun 2019 melakukan program rehabilitasi kolam milik masyarakat sebagai upaya peningkatan infrastruktur penunjang. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan rehabilitasi kolam milik masyarakat ini adalah dengan melakukan penyuluhan terhadap warga bahwa pentingnya infrastruktur penunjang dan mengajak warga untuk melakukan rehabilitasi kolam bersama. Hasil yang dicapai dari program ini adalah kolam milik masyarakat yang awalnya ditumbuhi semak belukar sekarang dapat dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat sekitar sehingga dapat digunakan untuk peternakan ikan air tawar dan diharapkan masyarakat dapat mengambil hasil panen ikan tersebut.   Kata kunci: Infrastruktur, Penunjang, Rehabilitasi, Kolam, Ikan

This paper suggests a new exploration strategy of an autonomous mobile robot in an unknown environment. Determination of a temporary goal based on a representation of work area named exploration quadtree is proposed. The exploration quadtree provides the information on quality of the regions concerned in a robot’s workspace. Using this quadtree the robot easily finds the next temporary goal that makes exploration more efficient. The quadtree is made up from a sonar probability map that is constructed by sonar range sensing and Bayesian probability theory. We then propose a method that plans a path between the determined temporary goals based on a probability map. The developed methods were implemented on a real mobile robot, AMROYS-II, which was built in our laboratory, and shown to be useful enough in a real environment that can be projected onto a two-dimensional space.

AbstractThis paper reports and evaluates the adaption and re-training of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with the aim of tackling the visual localization of a mobile robot by means of a hierarchical approach. The proposed method addresses the localization problem from the information captured by a catadioptric vision sensor mounted on the mobile robot. A CNN is adapted and evaluated with a twofold purpose. First, to perform a rough localization step (room retrieval) by means of the output layer. Second, to refine this localization in the retrieved room (fine localization step) by means of holistic descriptors obtained from intermediate layers of the same CNN. The robot estimates its position within the selected room/s through a nearest neighbour search by comparing the obtained holistic descriptor with the visual model of the retrieved room/s. Additionally, this method takes advantage of the likelihood information provided by the output layer of the CNN. This likelihood is helpful to determine which rooms should be considered in the fine localization process. This novel hierarchical localization method constitutes an efficient and robust solution, as shown in the experimental section even in presence of severe changes of the lighting conditions.
