A Structural Analysis and Selected Aspects of Performance of Gazebo Dances for Piano Four Hands by John Corigliano

Kim, Do Young 08 1900 (has links)
The purpose of the study is to present a formal analysis of the musical style and performance issues of the original version, for four hands piano, of Gazebo Dances, composed by John Coriglaino (b. 1938), a major American contemporary composer. Corigliano and his compositions have been performed by many performers and scholars over the several years. Gazebo Dances for piano four hands was composed in 1972. Gazebo Dances consists of four movements and was dedicated to his close friends: a dancelike overture movement in a slightly rondo form which is dedicated to Rose Corigliano and Etta Feinberg, waltz movement in a combination of rondo and sonata-allegro form which is dedicated to John Ardoin, adagio movement in a miniature sonata form which is dedicated to Heida Hermanns, and a tarantella movement in a modified rondo form which is dedicated to Jack Romann and Christian Steiner.

A Study on Fault Tolerance of Image Sensor-based Object Detection in Indoor Navigation / En studie om feltolerans för bildsensorbaserad objektdetektering i inomhusnavigering

Wang, Yang January 2022 (has links)
With the fast development of embedded deep-learning computing systems, applications powered by deep learning are moving from the cloud to the edge. When deploying NN onto the devices under complex environments, there are various types of possible faults: soft errors caused by cosmic radiation and radioactive impurities, voltage instability, aging, temperature variations, etc. Thus, more attention is drawn on the reliability of the NN embedded system. In this project, we build a virtual simulation system in Gazebo to simulate and test the working of an embedded NN system in the virtual environment in indoor navigation. The system can detect objects in the virtual environment with the help of the virtual camera(the image sensor) and the object detection module, which is based on YOLO v3, and make corresponding control decisions. We also designed and simulated the corresponding error injection module according to the working principle of the image sensor, and tested the functionality, and fault tolerance of the YOLO network. At the same time, network pruning algorithm is also introduced to study the relationship between different degrees of network pruning and network fault tolerance to sensor faults. / Med den snabba utvecklingen av inbyggda datorsystem för djupinlärning flyttas applikationer som drivs av djupinlärning från molnet till kanten. När man distribuerar NN på enheterna under komplexa miljöer finns det olika typer av möjliga fel: mjuka fel orsakade av kosmisk strålning och radioaktiva föroreningar, spänningsinstabilitet, åldrande, temperaturvariationer, illvilliga angripare, etc. Därför är mer uppmärksamhet ritade om tillförlitligheten hos det inbyggda NN-systemet. I det här projektet bygger vi ett virtuellt simuleringssystem för att simulera och testa hur ett inbäddat NN-system fungerar i den virtuella miljö vi ställer upp. Systemet kan upptäcka objekt i den virtuella miljön enligt den virtuella kameran och objektdetekteringsmodulen, som är baserad på YOLO v3, och göra motsvarande kontrollstrategier. Vi designade och simulerade också motsvarande felinsprutningsmodul enligt bildsensorns arbetsprincip och testade funktionalitet, tillförlitlighet och feltolerans hos YOLO-nätverket. Samtidigt nätverk beskärningsalgoritm introduceras också för att studera sambandet mellan olika grader av nätverksbeskärning och nätverksfeltolerans.

Autonomous Robotics Platforms

Morales, Néstor, Serrano, Manuel January 2019 (has links)
Nowadays, it is of crucial importance for the manufacturing industry to be prepared for the application and understanding of autonomous mobile robots. Given this fact, educational institutions have to provide knowledge and experience to students. These autonomous mobile robots are made and controlled using different platforms and programming languages. Currently, the University of Skövde wishes to expand the range of tools to be available for building and experimenting with autonomous robots. For this purpose, this thesis project has two main goals. The first goal is finding the best available robotic platform for small scale, self-built, programmable robots. Such a platform has to include all the hardware necessary for later implementation with the software. The platform is evaluated in this thesis following different criteria. The second goal is to build a robot using the chosen platform. The robot has to perform a certain task taking advantage of its specific hardware. The development of the task has been achieved using the Robot Operative System (ROS). This thesis provides step by step instructions of how to build the platform and perform the task.

Integrering av en robotgräsklippare i en 3-dimensionell simulering. / Integration of a robotic lawn mower in a 3-dimentional simulation.

Bach, Willy, Vidarsson, Petter January 2019 (has links)
I takt med att marknaden för robotgräsklippare ökar så är pressen högre på företag att deras produkt ska vara robust. Detta kan uppnås genom att testerna som görs på robotgräsklipparen testas så fort som möjligt. Genom att skapa en simulering där alla tester genomförs istället för att köra testerna på en fysisk robotgräsklippare kan detta uppnås och utifrån detta utformades forskningsfrågan. För att skapa simuleringen undersöktes först mjukvaror vilket ansågs lämpliga för att utveckla en simulator, detta gjordes via en fallstudie. Dessa har sedan analyserats och jämförts för att till slut bestämma de som ansetts bäst att använda. Med hjälp av de så startade en utveckling av en simulator där hjul- och kollisionsdata hämtades från en fysisk robotgräsklippare och skickades till en virtuell robotgräsklippare. Den färdigställda simulatorn utvärderades vid slutet av arbetet med hjälp av experiment där författarna observerade och jämförde rörelsen hos den fysiska och virtuella robotgräsklipparen. För att utföra denna uppgift så tillämpade arbetet metoden Design science research där det arbetades iterativt vid utvecklingen av simulatorn. Resultatet visar på att det är möjligt att skapa en simulator med de valda mjukvarorna ROS och Gazebo där man kan genomföra simulerade tester. Arbetet visar på ökad kunskap där data från en fysisk robotgräsklippare kan implementeras i 3D-simulatorn Gazebo via ramverket ROS. Studien kan användas som riktlinje i liknande projekt när det kommer till val av mjukvaror och om de är lämpliga. Arbetet begränsas till enbart hjul- och kollisionsdata från den fysiska robotgräsklipparen.

Robot path planning using 2D image processing in a drawing application

Rodriguez Baidez, Elvira Maria, Beltrá Fuerte, Jorge January 2022 (has links)
Currently, robotics is a discipline that is present, and it is becoming more important in daily life and different areas. Moreover, the research in this field is making improvements on the tasks that robots can perform, making it possible to appear in disciplines that have typically been made by humans, such as Art. In this project, it has been developed and implemented a program that allows the creation of paths after processing a picture, and the control of a real robot to follow the generated paths, in this case, the objective is to perform a sketch from a given picture. Nevertheless, it is applicable in many areas that need this kind of application like processing images, identification of trajectories, and path following. Moreover, in this project, it has been developed to simulate in a virtual environment the path planning and all the features of the real robot, which suppose that the user can check trajectories before trying on the real world, avoid problems of collisions or work without needing the physical robot. For that reason, the objective of this project is to contribute to the development of robotics and create a base that could be used in future research or as a source of information for similar projects that will be performed in the future.

Autonomous Landing of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle on an Unmanned Ground Vehicle in a GNSS-denied scenario

Källström, Alexander, Andersson Jagesten, Albin January 2020 (has links)
An autonomous system consisting of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in cooperation with an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) is of interest in applications for military reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition (RSTA). The basic idea of such a system is to take advantage of the vehicles strengths and counteract their weaknesses. The cooperation aspect suggests that the UAV is capable of autonomously landing on the UGV. A fundamental part of the landing is to localise the UAV with respect to the UGV. Traditional navigation systems utilise global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers for localisation. GNSS receivers have many advantages, but they are sensitive to interference and spoofing. Therefore, this thesis investigates the feasibility of autonomous landing in a GNSS-denied scenario. The proposed landing system is divided into a control and an estimation system. The control system uses a proportional navigation (PN) control law to approach the UGV. When sufficiently close, a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is used to match the movements of the UGV and perform a controlled descent and landing. The estimation system comprises an extended Kalman filter that utilises measurements from a camera, an imu and ultra-wide band (UWB) impulse radios. The landing system is composed of various results from previous research. First, the sensors used by the landing system are evaluated experimentally to get an understanding of their characteristics. The results are then used to determine the optimal sensor placements, in the design of the EKF, as well as, to shape the simulation environment and make it realistic. The simulation environment is used to evaluate the proposed landing system. The combined system is able to land the UAV safely on the moving UGV, confirming a fully-functional landing system. Additionally, the estimation system is evaluated experimentally, with results comparable to those obtained in simulation. The overall results are promising for the possibility of using the landing system with the presented hardware platform to perform a successful landing.
