Functions for modeling vehicle-ground interaction for an Avant front-end loader were developed for the simulation of robotic earth-moving tasks. A stand-alone Matlab program was used to test the functions, which are meant to be the first step in implementing vehicle-ground interaction capability
Robots are designed to help humans. Space robots are of particular importance as they aid or replace astronauts in difficult possibly dangerous extravehicular activities. However, robot intelligence and autonomy are still limited. Therefore, robots need to be supervised or directly teleoperated in
In search of conditions and substances that support life on Mars, the utilization of robotic rovers becomes more and more important. However, the task of robot teleoperation over huge distances involves challenging problems. One of the biggest challenges is the task of
The objective of this project was to investigate if plate tectonics could be partly influenced by the dominating winds i.e. to investigate how predominate winds over the continents are correlated to tectonic plate movements. This report presents the principle explanations and calculation
This thesis is part of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Applied Geosciences and Rock-mechanics. The purpose was to analyse the rock-breaking operations by the five different remote- controlled rock-breakers that are located at different shafts and levels
Sensibility studies are necessary to evaluate if an existing method is optimizable. The present method for classification of land cover uses the course of information about an observed region during one year. The progress of the natural cover of an observed region
This work develops a performance analysis for a particular distribution of inertial sensors as they are assumed to be implemented on a prototype stabilized platform for a new UAV aircraft (under development at VTUL PVO and AVEKO now). The device to be
WIND is a NASA spacecraft built to observe the solar wind. Since many phenomena like auroras are related to the solar wind and it has also an influence on all the spectra measured on Earth, therefore it is important to explore its
Liquid propellant rocket engines are very complex machinery and require immense research time to obtain the best performance possible. Therefore its performance efficiency has to be determined based on the various losses that occur during its operation. This research aims to measure
Since December 2003 Mars Express, a spacecraft of the European Space Agency, orbits our red neighbour planet Mars. Besides six other instruments it has on board MARSIS, an especially designed low frequency radar instrument. The Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric
