From Rodeo to Reality

Journal Article Deuel, Jamieson K. ; Mullaney, Christopher - International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators (IABTI)

The Western National Robot Rodeo & CAPEX (Capability Exercise) is a technical competition for military and civilian bomb squads and emergency responders that puts teams through ten to twelve challenging scenarios ranging from operator skill to full mission planning, execution, and TTPs (Tactics, Training, and Procedures). “The goal of the event is to make good robot operators into great robot operators,” Jake Deuel says. Jake Deuel of Sandia National Laboratories co-hosts the event each year with Chris Ory of Los Alamos National Laboratories. This year’s competition was held at Sandia Labs in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Cooperative target convergence using multiple agents

Technical Report Kwok, K.S. ; Driessen, B.J.

This work considers the problem of causing multiple (100`s) autonomous mobile robots to converge to a target and provides a follow-the-leader approach to the problem. Each robot has only a limited-range sensor for sending the target and also larger but also limited-range robot-to-robot communication capability. Because of the small amount of information available to the robots, a practical approach to improve convergence to the target is to have a robot follow the robot with the best quality of information. Specifically, each robot emits a signal that informs in-range robots what its status is. A robot has a status value ofmore »« less

Performance planning and measurement for DOE EM-International Technology Integration Program. A report on a performance measurement development workshop for DOE`s environmental management international technology integration program

Technical Report Jordan, G.B. ; Reed, J.H. ; Wyler, L.D.

This report describes the process and results from an effort to develop metrics for program accomplishments for the FY 1997 budget submission of the U.S. Department of Energy Environmental Management International Technology Integration Program (EM-ITI). The four-step process included interviews with key EM-ITI staff, the development of a strawman program logic chart, and all day facilitated workshop with EM-ITI staff during which preliminary performance plans and measures were developed and refined, and a series of follow-on discussions and activities including a cross-organizational project data base. The effort helped EM-ITI to crystallize and develop a unified vision of their future whichmore »« less

Collision avoidance during teleoperation using whole arm proximity sensors coupled to a virtual environment

Conference Novak, J.L. ; Feddema, J.T. ; Miner, N.E. ; ...

Much of the current robotics effort at the US DOE is directed toward remote handling of hazardous waste. Telerobotic systems are being developed to remotely inspect, characterize, and process waste. This paper describes a collision avoidance system using Whole Arm Proximity (WHAP) sensors on an articulated robot arm. The capacitance-based sensors generate electric fields which completely encompass the robot arm and detect obstacles as they approach from any direction. The robot is moved through the workspace using a velocity command generated either by an operator through a force-sensing input device or a preprogrammed sequence of motions. The directional obstacle informationmore »« less

Optimizing robot placement for visit-point tasks

Conference Hwang, Y.K. ; Watterberg, P.A.

We present a manipulator placement algorithm for minimizing the length of the manipulator motion performing a visit-point task such as spot welding. Given a set of points for the tool of a manipulator to visit, our algorithm finds the shortest robot motion required to visit the points from each possible base configuration. The base configurations resulting in the shortest motion is selected as the optimal robot placement. The shortest robot motion required for visiting multiple points from a given base configuration is computed using a variant of the traveling salesman algorithm in the robot joint space and a point-to-point pathmore »« less
