Abstract
In the talk titled, ‘Design of a Reconfigurable Pavement Sweeping Robot’, Dr. Aamir Hyat will speak about his research in different areas of robotics applications such as:
- Self-reconfigurable robots possesses ability to autonomously change their shape and adapt optimally to the specific task or environment. This class of robots offers greatly improved versatility, robustness and modularity across a wide range of mission profiles. Significant technology breakthroughs beyond the state-of-the-art are essential to realizing self-reconfigurable robotic systems that provide substantial leaps in capability.
- In this talk a heuristic framework using three layers for designing reconfigurable robots with the aid of established transformation principles observed in several products, services, and systems will be discussed along with the adaptive sensor fusion method implemented in real-time on an autonomous reconfigurable pavement sweeping robot.
About the Speaker
- Dr. Aamir Hyat (Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD))
Dr. Hayat is currently a research associate with the Engineering Product Development Pillar at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). He is leading the design teams towards developing self reconfigurable robots in the project “Ermine: A Self-Reconfigurable Class of Maintenance Robots”. He received his Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. His doctoral research is in the domain of Identification of Kinematic and Dynamic parameters associated with industrial robots experimentally. He assisted the research organizations and companies like CMERI Durgapur and TATA robotics Pune to identify the kinematic parameters of robots developed by them. He has published over 35 scientific papers, and two design patents. He is the lead author in a recently published book titled “Vision Based Identification and Force Control of Industrial Robots”. He also received best paper and poster awards at international conferences. His research interest includes Kinematic identification, calibration, dynamics, and reconfigurable robotics.
