Abstract

The International Virtual Design Studio (MIVDS) that was originated between the Departments of Mechanical Engineering of Union College (UC) and the Middle East Technical University (METU) is now extended to include the Mechanical Engineering Department at Queen's University in Canada, the Computer Systems Engineering/Electrical Engineering Department at UC, and the Electrical/Electronics Engineering Department of METU. The design teams that participate in this project are composed of various combinations of mechanical, electrical, and computer systems engineering students. Design project topics are selected to cover mechatronic concepts that force students toward mechatronic design solutions. After years of experience, it is now possible to draw some conclusions and report on the concept and implementation of the multidisciplinary IVDS (MIVDS) project. One important conclusion is that a strong combination of institutional support and multidisciplinary faculty commitment is required for project initiation. Success in MIVDS is highly dependent on well-defined project specifications, a single source of project information, incentives for students to participate, travel to participating countries, a balanced team structure, common design and productivity tools, 24-hour access to MIVDS facilities, and participation by all students in the manufacturing phase of the project. Index Terms--Design, information collaboration, virtual design study.

29. Morphing Estimated Human Intention Via Human-Robot Interactions

Abstract

Estimating and reshaping human intentions are topics of research in the field of human-robot interaction. Although works on estimating human intentions are quite well known research areas in the literature, reshaping intentions through interactions is a new significant branching in the field of human-robot interaction. In this paper, we research how the human intentions change based on his/her actions by moving the robots in a real human-robot environment. Our approach uses the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) tailored for the intelligent robotic systems. The algorithmic design consists of two phases: human tracking and the use of intelligent robots that aims to change intentions of individuals in the environment. In the former phase, postures and locations of the human are monitored by applying low-level video processing methods. The latter phase learned HMM models are used to reshape the estimated human intention. This two-phase system is tested on video frames taken from a real human-robot environment. The results obtained using the proposed approach is discussed according to performance towards the '' degree '' of reshaping the detected intentions.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada,mühendislik tasarımındaki kavramsal tasarım aşamasının otomasyonu için PetriNet ve Melez Otomat (Hybrid Automata) sentezine dayanan PNDN adlı bir tasarımağı modeli PNDN, tasarımı yapılacak ürünün mantıksal davranışını ürünün altişlevleri arasındaki kesin ve belirsizlik içeren bilgi akışı ile iki tarzdamodellemektedir. Bilgi akışındaki belirsizliklerin modellenmesinde SezgiselBulanık Önermeler yaklaşımı kullanılmıştır. Genel amaçlı ve işlevsel düzeydegeliştirilen model, tümleşik bir tasarım felsefesi olan mekatronik tasarımdauygulanmıştır. Bu makalede tasarım ağının yapısı ve kesin bilgi akışı modelianlatılmaktadır.&nbsp
