Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng):Despite the rapid growth in the number of robots in the world, the number of service robots is still very low.
The major reasons for this include the robots' lack of world knowledge, sensitivity, safety and flexibility.
This thesis experimentally addresses the last three of these issues (sensitivity, safety and flexibility) with reference to advanced, industrial level robotic arms provided with integrated torque sensors at each joint.
The aims of this work are twofold.
The first one, at a more technical level, is the implementation of a real-time software infrastructure, based on Orocos and ROS, for a general, robust, flexible and modular robot control framework with a relatively high level of abstraction.
The second aim is to utilize this software framework for Programming by Demonstration with a class of algorithms known as Dynamic Movement Primitives.
Using kinesthetic teaching with one or multiple demonstrations, the robot performs simple sequential in-contact tasks (e. g. writing on a notepad a previously demonstrated sequence of characters).
The system is not only able to imitate and generalize from demonstrated trajectories, but also from their associated force profiles during the execution of in-contact tasks.
The framework is further extended to successfully recover from perturbations during the execution and to cope with dynamic environments.
