Abstract:
Mechatronics is one of the most powerful technologies to overcome various industrial and social problems arising in the 21st century, for example, realization of the recycle manufacturing system, global consideration on the environment, development of human-oriented technology. The 3rd International Conference on Advanced Mechatronics (ICAM’98)-Innovative Mechatronics for the 21st Century hass been held in Okayama August 3-6, 1998, following the 1st and 2nd held in Tokyo in 1988 and 1993, sponsored by the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. The purpose of the conference is to promote the creation of new technologies and industries such as advanced robotics and human-oriented technology for the coming 21st century. Two plenary talks and 35 technical sessions including 11 specially organized sessions were opened. In technical sessions, a total of 149 papers was presented, of which 61 papers were in organized sessions and 88 papers in general sessions. Some 47 papers came from 17 countries abroad and 102 papers from Japan. A number of registered participants excluding invited guests was 40 from other countries and 163 from Japan. After the technical program, the Advanced Robotics and Mechatronics symposium was held for tutorial reviews of future robotics and mechatronics, mainly focusing on ""human collaboration"" technology. More than 100 persons attended the symposium. Organized sessions included Analysis and Control of Robot Manipulators, Modeling and Control of Nonholonomic Underactuated Systems, Human Perspective Characteristics and Virtual Reality, Robotic Hand Design Grasping and Dexterous Manipulation, Healthcare Robotics, Advanced Fluid Power Control Technology, Advanced Robot Kinematics, Human Directed Robotics, Computer Support for Mechatronics System Design, Robotic Control, and Motion Control of Special Motors. Robotics was a main subject, but fluid power technology, fundamental motion control technology, and so on were also discussed. “Human collaboration” technology dealing with interaction between humans and robots attracted great attention from many participants. General sessions included Manufacturing, Vision, Micro Machine, Electric Actuator, Human-Robot Interface, Processing Technology, Fluid Actuator, Legged Locomotion, Control Strategy, Soft-Computing, Vehicle, Automation for Agriculture, Robot Force Control, Vibration, and Robot Application.

Abstract:
Distributed Robotic Systems are focused on as a new strategy to realize flexible, robust and fault-tolerant robotic systems. In conferences and symposia held recently, the number of papers related to the Distributed Robotic Systems has increased rapidly1,2,3) which shows this area has become one of the most interesting subjects in robotics. The Distributed Robotic Systems require a broad area of interdisciplinary technologies related not only to robotics and computer engineering (especially distributed artificial intelligence and artificial life), but also to biology and psychology. Distributed Robotic Systems can be defined as robot systems which are composed of various types and levels of units, such as cells, modules, agents and robots. One category of papers included in this volume is a robot with a distributed architecture, where modular structure is adopted and/or the robot system is controlled by many CPUs in a distributed manner. Cellular robotic systems are included in this category4). Another category of the papers is cooperative motion control of multiple robots. Coordinated control of multiple manipulators and cooperative motion control by multiple mobile robots using communication are discussed in these papers. The new elemental technologies are also presented, which are required for realization of advanced cooperative motion control of multiple autonomous mobile robots in this volume. The last category of the papers is self-organization of distributed robotic systems. Though the Journal of Robotics and MecharQnics has already published the special issues on the self-organization system,5,6) the latest progress is also presented in this volume. The papers belonging to this category are directed to swarm/collective intelligence in multi-robot cooperation issues. I believe this special issue will inspire the reader's interests in the Distributed Robotic Systems and accelerate the growth of this new arising interdisciplinary research area.

Abstract:
Mechatronics systems, a macroscopic domain, aim at producing highly efficient engineering platforms, with applications in a variety of industries and situations. On the other hand, quantum technologies, a microscopic domain, are emerging as a promising avenue to speed up computations and perform more efficient sensing. Recently, these two fields have started to merge in a novel area: quantum mechatronics. In this review article, we describe some developments produced so far in this respect, including early steps into quantum robotics, macroscopic actuators via quantum effects, as well as educational initiatives in quantum mechatronics.

Abstract:
In modern robotic and mechatronic systems, technologies are in demand that makes it possible to build an optimal trajectory of movement of their actuators. Such technologies are formed by combining navigation methods and building a 3-D map of the surrounding space based on vision systems and are successfully used in robotics and mechatronics. But there is a problem, consisting of a decrease in the accuracy of planning the trajectory of movement, caused by incorrect sections on the map (depth map) due to incorrect determination of the distance to objects. Such defects appear as a result of poor lighting, specular or fine-grained surfaces of objects. This leads to the impossibility of obtaining reliable information about the depth. As a result, the effect of increasing the boundaries of objects (obstacles) appears, and the overlapping of objects makes it impossible to distinguish one object from another. This problem can be solved using image reconstruction methods. The article presents an approach based on a modified algorithm for searching for similar blocks using the concept of quaternions and anisotropic gradient. The analysis of the research results shows that the proposed method allows you to correctly restore the boundaries of objects on the depth map image when reconstructing 3-D scenes, which contributes to an increase in the accuracy of planning the trajectory of motion of the actuators robotic and mechatronic systems.

Abstract:
Recent advances in micro- and nano-robotics and mechatronics have led to the discovery of new bioscientific knowledge and the development of new methods of medical treatments and examinations. Scientific Research on Priority Areas, “System Cell Engineering by Multiscale Manipulation” (Head Investigator: Toshio Fukuda), was begun in 2005 to promote interdisciplinary research among engineering, biological, and medical fields and to promote progress in these fields. System cell engineering seeks to understand communication and control principles of a single cell focusing on multiscale manipulation - manipulation ranging from nanoscale to macroscale. By controlling the local environment around a single cell, we actively induce chemical and physical interaction inside and outside the cell and measure changes. We then clarify the mechanism behind the cell system, realize an artificial cell model based on gene expression control, and regenerate tissue by function control. Using innovative engineering, we obtain new scientific knowledge on life sciences and develop medical engineering, ultimately contributing to the good of society. Scientific Research on Priority Areas, “System Cell Engineering by Multiscale Manipulation,” was successfully concluded in March 2010. This special issue presents the latest achievements in system cell engineering and multiscale manipulation, following up on the special issue on System Cell Engineering by Multiscale Manipulation in Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics Vol.19, No.5 (October 20, 2007). Two reviews introduce challengingwork in themedical and biological fields, presenting suggestions to robotics and mechatronics engineers. Three papers develop microfluidic devices and embedded sensors. Three more papers present methods of fabricating micropatterns and microstructures using biological cells. Five papers propose novel actuators, tools, devices, and manipulation systems useful in bioscience and cell engineering. The second to the last paper in the series presents a method for micro teleoperation. The final paper discusses the simulation of self-reproduction of cells. We thank the authors for their invaluable contributions to this issue and the reviewers for their precious time and effort. We also thank the Editorial Board of JRM for making this issue possible.

The scientific work ultimately results in an intelligent, original platform that will be used to control the movement of the robot. The platform allows communication between the latest generation BLDC engine (embedded in the drive wheel) and it’s controller and a computerized microsystem that will handle the displacement controls and will also provide the link with the human operator through any remote guidance system that is used. Although designed for an intelligent security and surveillance mechatronic robot, this platform is proven to be extensively versatile for any other type of robot or mobile platform that uses BLDC wheel-drive engines. The project harmoniously combines Mechatronics, Cyber-MixMeatronic, Integronics and Artificial Intelligence into an Intelligent Interoperable Construction.

Abstract:
Magnetically levitated microrobotic systems have shown a great deal of promise for micromanipulation tasks. A new large-gap magnetic suspension system has recently been developed at the University of Waterloo in order to develop microrobotic systems for various applications. In order to achieve motion with the system, a model is needed in order to facilitate the design of various aspects of the system, such as the microrobot and the controller. In order to derive equations of motion for the system attempts were made to characterize the force produced by the magnetic drive unit in terms of a simple analytical equation. The force produced by the magnetic drive unit was estimated with the aid of a finite element model. The derived equations were able to predict the general trend of the force curves, and with sufficient parameter tweaking the error between the force estimated by the finite element model and the force estimated by the analytical equation could be minimized. System models describing the motion of the system in the horizontal and vertical directions are identified and compared to the actual system response. The vertical position response is identified through a least squares parameter estimate of the closed loop response combined with a partial reconstruction of the root locus diagram, with the model structure based on the known dynamics of a simplified form of magnetic levitation. This model was able to provide a reasonable prediction of the system response for a variety of PID controllers under a variety of input conditions. The horizontal models are identified using a least-squares parameter estimate of the open loop characteristics of the system. The horizontal models are able to provide a reasonable prediction of the system response under PD and PID control. Full spatial motion of a microrobot prototype is demonstrated over a working range of 20x22x30 mm3, with PID controller parameters and reference trajectories adjusted to minimize disturbances. The RMS error at steady state is on the order of 0. 020 mm for vertical positioning and 0. 008 mm for horizontal positioning. A linear quadratic regulator implemented for vertical position control was able to reduce the vertical position RMS error to 0. 014 mm.

Abstract:
This paper looks at all aspects of developing a robotic arm and hand that consists of five fingers which is able to imitate human movements. The imitation ability, accuracy and factors affecting both points are studied. A project like this requires the interplay of various electrical components to achieve the desired results.The prototype constructed measured the controller’s movements of the fingers with the help of flex sensors. The movements in the elbow and wrist however were measured with the help of potentiometers. The flex sensors and potentiometers were connected to an Arduino Mega which then sent the values with the help of a transmitter. The robotic arm consists of an Arduino Uno, seven servomotors and a receiver that reads the messages sent from the transmitter. All values were converted into degrees that rotated the motor axles accordingly. The prototype produced positive results, showing that it was able to copy all movements done by the controller. Tests were conducted to study the accuracy and imitationability. The conclusion was that the factors affecting imitation and accuracy were mostly connected to the weight of the robot and the design of the hand.
Denna uppsats behandlar olika aspekter i utvecklingen av en robotarm vars gripdon är en hand med fem fingrar, med syfte att kunna imitera mänskliga rörelser. Imitationsförmågan, noggrannheten samt vilka faktorer som påverkar dessa studeras. För att uppnå ett önskvärt resultat har det krävts styrning och samverkan mellan olika elektroniska komponenter. I prototypen som presenteras mättes fingrarnas rörelsemed hjälp av flexsensorer samt rörelsen i armbåge och handleden med hjälp av vridpotentiometrar. Flexsensorerna och potentiometrarna var anslutna till en Arduino Mega vars värden skickades med hjälp av en sändare. Elektronikkomponenterna som användes i robotarmen var en ArduinoUno, sju servomotorer och en mottagare, vars funktion var att läsa av meddelanden som skickades från sändaren. Alla värden omvandlades till grader och motoraxlarna roterade i enlighet med dessa. Prototypen uppnådde ett önskvärt betteende då roboten hade förmågan att imitera alla rörelser som utfördes av styrenheten. Noggrannheten och imitationsförmågan undersöktes med olika tester. De mest betydelsefulla faktorer som påverkade imitationen och noggrannheten av prototypen var kopplade till vikten av roboten och designen av handen, enligt slutsatserna som har dragits.

Abstract:
The development of a robotic slit-lamp for remote ophthalmology is the primary purpose of this work. In addition to novel mechanical designs and implementation, it was also a goal to develop a control system that was flexible enough to be adapted with minimal user adjustment to various styles and configurations of slit-lamps. The system was developed with intentions of commercialization, so common hardware was used for all components to minimize the costs. In order to improve performance using this low-cost hardware, investigations were made to attempt to achieve better performance by applying control theory algorithms in the system software. Ultimately, the controller was to be flexible enough to be applied to other areas of human-robot interaction including pediatric rehabilitation via the use of humanoid robotic aids. This application especially requires a robust controller to facilitate safe interaction. Though all of the prototypes were successfully developed and made to work sufficiently with the control hardware, the application of advanced control did not yield notable gains as was hoped. Further investigations were made attempting to alter the performance of the control system, but the components selected did not have the physical capabilities for improved response above the original software implemented. Despite this disappointment, numerous novel advances were made in the area of teleoperated ophthalmic technology and pediatric physical rehabilitation tools. This includes a system that is used to remote control a slit-lamp and lens for examinations and some laser procedures. Secondly, a series of of humanoid systems suitable for both medical research and therapeutic modeling were developed. This included a robotic face used as an interactive system for ophthalmic testing and training. It can also be used as one component in an interactive humanoid robotic system that includes hands and arms to allow use of teaching sign language, social skills or modeling occupational therapy tasks. Finally, a humanoid system is presented that can serve as a customized surrogate between a therapist and client to model physical therapy tasks in a realistic manner. These systems are all functional, safe and low-cost to allow for feasible implementation with patients in the near future.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis was to design, construct and control a robotic arm with six degrees of freedom. The arm should be able to do simple tasks such as pick and place with good accuracy and without using external sensors. This thesis investigates the precision and the strength of the constructed robot arm. The arm was constructed using 3D printed parts and commonly available hardware such as threaded rods, bearings, screws and nuts. Each axis uses a combination of pulleys and belts in order to achieve desired torque. A differential transmission was implemented in four of the axes in order to combine the power of the motors and reduce weight in the upper parts of the arm. The robot is driven by six stepper motors that are controlled by a combination of RAMPS 1.4 shield and Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller. The user can manipulate each axis by sending commands to the Arduino through an USB cable. The commands are generated with the help of a simple user interface written in Python. Experiments have shown that the arm has an average error increase of 0.0289-0.1356 mm for each movement, depending on the chosen speed. The maximum amount ofweight that the arm can hold in the worst case scenario is 0.84 kg.
Syftet med denna avhandling var att designa, konstruera och kontrollera en robotarm med sex frihetsgrader. Armen ska kunna utföra enkla uppgifter som pick-and-place med god noggrannhet och utan användning av externa sensorer. Denna avhandling underosöker precisionen och styrkan hos den konstruerade robotarmen. Armen konstruerades med 3D-printade delar och läattillgänglig hårdvara som gängstänger, lager, skruvar och muttrar. Varje axel använder en kombination av kuggremskivor och kuggremmar för att uppnå önskat moment. En differentialväxel användes i fyra av axlarna för att kombinera motorernas moment och minska vikten i armens övre delar. Roboten drivs av sex stegmotorer som styrs av en kombinationav RAMPS 1.4-shield och Arduino Mega 2560 mikrokontroller. Användaren kan styra varje axel genom att skicka kommandon till Arduinon via en USB-kabel. Kommandona genereras med hjälp av ett enkelt användargränssnitt skrivet i Python. Experiment har visat att armen har en genomsnittlig felökning på 0,0289-0,1356 mm för varje rörelse, beroende på vald hastighet. Den högsta vikt som armen i värsta fallkan håalla är 0,84 kg.

Abstract:
Telepresence describes technologies that allow users to remotely experience the sensation of being present at an event without being physically present. An avatar exists to represent the user whilst in a remote location and is tasked to collect stimuli from its immediate surroundings to be delivered to the user for consumption. With the advent of recent developments in Virtual Reality technology, viz., head-mounted displays (HMDs), new possibilities have been enabled in the field of Telepresence. The main focus of this thesis is to develop a solution for visual Telepresence, where an HMD is used to control the direction of a camera‟s viewpoint, such that the user‟s head is tracked by the avatar, while providing visual feedback to the user. The design and development of the device follows a mechatronic approach, where a real time operating system (RTOS) is used in conjunction with a microcontroller for mechanical actuator control. The first-generation prototype, HOG-1 (HMD-Operated Gimbal, rev. 1), developed for this thesis serves as a foundation for study; the implementation and analysis of the prototype contributes to the state of the art by providing a clearer glimpse of hardware and software requirements that are necessary to construct an improved model. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative measurements are developed in the process of this research.

Abstract:
Autonomous mobile robots are on the rise and are to be expected on the market in about 5-10 years. Several challenges need to be solved for this to happen, and the most crucial ones are to develop versatile and safe robots. The Get a Grip robot is a dynamic force adjustment gripper using inputs from two different sensory systems. The construction of the robot consists of two parallel gripper plates moved by a rack and pinion gear attached to a direct current (DC) motor. Embedded into one of the plates is a Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) for input of the gripper’s exerted force. Mounted to the other plate is a self constructed Slip sensor used for measuring the occurrence of slip and slip rate. A surrounding crane for mounting of the gripper and lifting was also constructed. The idea of this bachelor’s thesis project is to enable lifting of objects with unknown weight without the gripper exerting more force than necessary. This is something that will be useful in both industrial applications and in household robots in the future. In order to realize the concept two different methods for calculating the gripper’s applied force were tested, one using motor current and the other using a FSR sensor. Through testing it was concluded that the FSR sensor was the method giving better accuracy and consistency. Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID) controllers were then tested for both setting force references for the gripper using the Slip sensor as input, and controlling the exerted force in the gripper using the FSR as input. The results led to two PID controllers thought to be sufficient as starting points for further testing of the complete system.
Mobila autonoma robotar förväntas vara på marknaden inom de närmaste 5-10 åren. För att det här ska ske är det många utmaningar som behöver lösas och de mest kritiska är att utveckla mångsidiga och säkra robotar. Get a Grip-roboten är en dynamisk kraftanpassande robotklo som tar insignaler från två olika sensorsystem. Konstruktionen består av två parallella plattor som förflyttas av kuggstänger och kugghjul drivna av en DC motor. Inbyggt i en av kloplattorna finns en tryckkänslig kraftsensor (FSR) monterad för att registrera kraften som klon genererar. På den andra kloplattan sitter en egenkonstruerad glidsensor som registrerar om glidning sker och själva glidhastighet. En kran för att montera klon och lyfta den konstruerades även. Idén bakom detta kandidatexamens projektet är att klon ska kunna lyfta ett objekt med okänd vikt utan att använda mer kraft än nödvändigt. Det är något som kommer vara användbart både vid industriella tillämpningar och hos husållsrobotar i framtiden. För att realisera konceptet testades två olika metoder för att estimera kraften klon genererar, den första genom motorströmmen och den andra genom en FSR sensor. Tester genomfördes för båda metoderna och slutsatsen blev att FSR sensorn gav bäst noggrannhet och var mest konsekvent. PID-regulatorn, för bestämning av kraftreferens, med insignal från glidsensorn och PID-regulatorn, för genererad klokraft, med insignal från FSR:n testades separat. Resultatet blev två PID-regulatorer som ansågs tillräckliga för fortsätta tester med båda regulatorerna tillsammans.

Abstract:
The interest in the research and development of humanoid robots has been steadily growing in recent years. The application of such robotic systems are many and wide. In this bachelor’s thesis in mechatronics one such robotic system was built in the form of a hand. The aim was to investigate how well the robotic hand could imitate the movements of a user-worn controller glove as well as grip objects, both through wireless communication. The controller glove consisted of an Arduino Nano microcontroller, five flex sensors, an inertial measurement unit that detected the wrist rotation of the glove, a nRF24L01 transmitter as well as an external power source of 9 volts. The robotic hand consisted of three-dimensional printed parts from an open source library, an Arduino Uno microcontroller, a nRF24L01 receiver, two external power supplies of 9 volts and 5 volts and six servo motors, with one servo motor per finger and wrist. The finished robotic hand did well in imitating the motions of the controller glove with little to no observed delay and was able to grip onto objects of various sizes, shapes and weights up to 134 grams. The constructed robotic hand achieved the desired goals of the project. The results indicated that improvements can be made on the grip ability of objects with rigid surfaces as well as improving the imitation by implementing more degrees of freedom for the fingers of the robotic hand.

Abstract:
In recent decades human workers in manufacturing and overall industry have largely been replaced with robots and automated machines, but there are still plenty of tasks where human cognition is necessary. This paper presents the development of a wireless robotic arm controlled by a human arm, allowing both for the combination of a robotic arms strength to be combined with a humans cognition, and also for a human to execute dynamic tasks without being present. An application suited for work in toxic or otherwise harmful environments. This was accomplished by using a controller in the form of an exo-skeleton attached to the operators right arm and connected to the robotic arm through a transmitter. The controller measures the movements in each joint using potentiometers and the robotic arm mimics these movements. A glove with a flex sensor on the index finger was then attached to the controller to measure the finger motions. All the information containing the angle of rotations are sent wirelessly to the robotic arm using Arduino Uno and transceiver modules. The robotic arm received the information through another set of Arduino Uno and transceiver module which made each servomotor on the robotic arm to move accordingly. The result showed that the robotic arm could imitate the operator’s arm very well and was able to grab and move dierent objects with dierent weight and surfaces. The wireless control was reliable and could control the robotic arm while being in a dierent room, making it possible to use this robot for harmful environments for humans.
Under senare årtionden har mänskliga arbetare inom tillverkning och industri över lag i stor utsträckning ersatts av robotar och automatiserade maskiner, men det finns fortfarande uppgifter som kräver mänsklig tankeförmåga. Denna rapport presenterar utvecklingen av en trådlös robotarm styrd av en människas arm, vilket möjliggör både att kombinera en maskins styrka med en människas intelligens, samt för en människa att utföra dynamiska uppgifter utan att vara närvarande. En applikation lämplig för arbete i farliga miljöer. Detta uppnåddes med en styrenhet i form av ett exo-skelett fastsatt på operatörens högra arm och kopplad till robotarmen genom en sändare. Styrenheten mäter rörelserna i varje led med potentiometrar och robotarmen härmar dessa rörelser. En handske med en flexsensor på pekfingret fästes sedan på styrenheten för att mäta fingerrörelsen. All information som innehåller vinklar skickas trådlöst till robotarmen med hjälp av Arduino Uno och transceiver moduler. Robotarmen mottog informationen via en annan uppsättning Arduino Uno och transceiver modul som fick varje servomotor på robotarmen att rotera i enlighet. Resultatet visade att robotarmen kunde imitera operatörens arm väl och kunde bära olika föremål med olika vikter och ytor. Den trådlösa styrningen var pålitlig och kunde styra robotarmen från ett annat rum, vilket gör det möjligt att använda denna robot i skadliga miljöer för människor.

Abstract:
Robotic arms and hands come in all shapes and sizes, they can be general purpose or task-specific. They can be pre-programed by a computer or controlled by a human operator. There is a certain subsection of robotic hands which try to mimic the shape, movement and function of the human hand, these are sometimes known as biomimetic robotics. This project explores the human robot interaction by creating an anthropomorphic robotic hand with an accompanying exoskeleton. The hand, which consists of a 3D-printed body and fingers, is connected to a forearm where the servos that control the fingers are housed. The exoskeleton connects to the operator's hand allowing finger tracking through a set of potentiometers. This setup allows the operator to intuitively control a robotic hand with a certain degree of precision. We set out to answer research questions in regard to the form and function of a biomimetic hand and the exoskeleton. Along the way, a multitude of problems were encountered such as budgetary issues resulting in only half the fingers having movement. Despite this, good results were gathered from the functioning fingers and our research questions were answered.
Robotarmar och händer finns många former och storlekar, de kan vara för allmänna ändamål eller uppgiftsspecifika. De kan programmeras av en dator eller styras av en mänsklig operatör. Det finns en viss typ av robothänder som försöker efterlikna formen, rörelsen och funktionen hos den mänskliga handen, och brukar kallas biomimetisk robotik. Detta projekt utforskar interaktionen mellan människa och robot genom att skapa en antropomorf robothand med tillhörande exoskelett. Handen, som består av en 3D-printad kropp och fingrar, är ansluten till en underarm där servormotorerna som styr fingrarna sitter. Exoskelettet ansluts till operatörens hand vilket möjliggör spårning av fingrarnas rörelse genom ett antal potentiometrar. Detta tillåter operatören att intuitivt styra en robothand med en viss grad av precision. Vi valde att besvara ett antal forskningsfrågor med avseende på form och funktion av en biomimetisk hand och exoskelettet. Under projektets gång påträffades en mängd problem såsom budgetproblem som resulterade i att bara hälften av fingrarna kan kontrolleras. Trots detta fick vi bra resultat från de fungerande fingrarna och våra forskningsfrågor kunde besvaras.

Abstract:
The number of industrial and household robots is fast increasing. A simpler human-robot interaction is preferred in household robotic applications as well as in hazardous environments. Gesture based control of robots is a step in this direction. In this work, a virtual model of a 3-DOF robotic manipulator is developed using V-Realm Builder in MATLAB and the mathematical models of forward and inverse kinematics of the manipulator are coded in MATLAB/Simulink software. Human hand gestures are captured using a smartphone with accelerometer and orientation sensors. A wireless interface is provided for transferring smartphone sensory data to a laptop running MATLAB/Simulink software. The hand gestures are used as reference signal for moving the wrist of the robot. A user interface shows the instantaneous joint angles of robot manipulator and spatial coordinates of robot wrist. This simple yet effective tool aids in learning a number of aspects of robotics and mechatronics. The animated graphical model of the manipulator provides a better understanding of forward and inverse kinematics of robot manipulator. The robot control using hand gestures generates curiosity in student about interfacing of hardware with computer. It may also stimulate new ideas in students to develop virtual learning tools.

Abstract:
This paper presents the details of a compact embedded-computing module designed to meet a variety of pedagogical objectives within mechatronics, controls, and robotics. Built around an ATmega32U4 microcontroller, the 1.8 × 4.0 centimeter module has flash memory for program and data storage, 25 general-purpose input/output lines, four timer/counters, 12 channels of 10-bit analog-to-digital conversion, and support for a variety of serial communications protocols, including USB. The unit adapts easily to a solderless breadboard for quick prototyping, and requires only an external 5-volt power source for operation. Furthermore, it can be programmed directly over a USB connection to a computer, thereby eliminating the need for a separate programming device. As a member of the AVR family of microcontrollers, the development tools for the processor are freely available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. When assembled in sufficient quantity, the part cost for each module is approaching $10US, making it a low-cost solution for a variety of tasks. To enable students and professors to explore both the module and the host of application principles, we have chosen to post the design files and documentation on a publicly-accessible wiki, leaving room for collaborative improvements and the sharing of technology with other educational institutions.

Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of mechanics, instrumentation and control, software engineering and information technology. As such it integrates well with not only the modern evolution of mechanical engineering curricula but has wide and growing manifestation in the new generation of industrial products as well as children’s toys. The present set-up of the laboratory consists of an industrial SCARA (Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm) robot equipped with machine vision capability for guidance, inspection and recognition associated with robotic manipulation of parts. An open loop stable vibration control platform, an open loop unstable inverted pendulum and a dual water tank system interfaced with appropriate sensors and actuators provide capabilities for learning both analog and digital control of systems belonging to the solid mechanics and fluid mechanics fields. Modern software tools that include graphical programming capability using Simulink and compilation via Real time Windows Target, Real time Workshop (all from Mathworks) and Visual C++ (Microsoft) allow for developing and executing variety of control algorithms on these systems. Capabilities for remote operation of these systems over the internet have also been implemented. The laboratory facilities provide education and research capability at the interfaces of traditional disciplinary boundaries. The laboratory is also equipped with LEGO MINDSTORM and LEGO DACTA products as well as the MIT Handyboard for exploration of mechatronics and robotics activities for prospective engineers and K-12 students.
