The work presented in this thesis covers the topic of deployment for mobile robot teams. By connecting robots in teams they can perform a better job than each individual is capable of. It also gives redundancy, increases robustness, provides scalability, and increases
This degree project tries to give a design solution, a machine for the company “VECTO Materialhantering AB” specialised in total system solutions within internal transport systems and material handling technology. VECTO supply material handling equipment both as stand-alone modules, turn-key plants and
A number of projects have been done around one of the most fascinating and complex part of the human body, the hand. This useful tool is able to perform a lot of different grasps like lifting, holding and squeezing various objects. For
Robots in a team are modeled as particles which obey simple, second order dynamics. The whole team can be viewed as a deformable body with changing shape and orientation. Jacobi shape theory is applied to model such a formation. We derive the
