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): The future of human-robot interaction applications is highly dependent on the capability to perform safe and efficient physical interaction using the robot's manipulators with a human.
Even though the optimal use of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is a challenging problem, it can improve the quality and efficiency of the task execution since humans and robots are both able to perform certain tasks in some situations better than the others.

WorkPartner, TKK's mobile service robot, has no support for manipulator control system for the purpose of safe human-robot physical interaction application.
Additionally, the existing manipulator control system has no position controller to he upgraded for human-robot physical interaction applications.
This thesis addresses those problems by developing the compliance control capabilities of the WorkPartner manipulator.
First, the state-of-the-art of physical human robot interaction is presented focusing on commonly used manipulator control algorithms, such as stiffness control and impedance control as well as force/torque sensors, such as the six-axis force/torque sensor and motor current sensor.
Second, a manipulator control algorithm is suggested based on admittance control.
These algorithms is implemented on the WorkPartner simulator and on the WorkPartner manipulator to examine the four selected manipulator behavior modes which are follow movement, hold position, adapt movement and push with force.
The thesis test results show that selected admittance based manipulator control algorithm is capable to provide all the four examined manipulator behaviour modes.

The thesis is part of the SpacePartner project which is a co-sponsored PhD project of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Helsinki University of Technology (TKK).
