Autonomous Target Recognition and Localization for Manipulator Sampling Tasks

This is a Aeronautical Engineering Theses

Abstract on Project: Future exploration missions will require autonomous robotic operations to minimize overhead on human operators. Autonomous manipulation in unknown environments requires target identification and tracking from initial discovery through grasp and stow sequences. Even with a supervisor in the loop, automating target identification and localization processes significantly lowers operator workload and data throughput requirements. This thesis introduces the Autonomous Vision Application for Target Acquisition and Ranging (AVATAR), a software system capable of recognizing appropriate targets and determining their locations for manipulator retrieval tasks.

AVATAR utilizes an RGB color filter to segment possible sampling or tracking targets, applies geometric-based matching constraints, and performs stereo triangulation to determine absolute 3-D target position. Neutral buoyancy and 1-G tests verify AVATAR capabilities over a diverse matrix of targets and visual environments as well as camera and manipulator configurations. AVATAR repeatably and reliably recognizes targets and provides real-time position data sufficiently accurate for autonomous sampling.

AirCraft Hydraulic System is a Mechanical Seminar project Report and will tell about hydraulic and then gives the definition of Aircraft Hydraulic as a system where liquid under pressure is used to transmit this energy. Hydraulic systems take engine power and convert it to hydraulic power by means of a hydraulic pump. It also tell about Some Hydraulic Systems in Aircraft's such as Primary control boosters, retraction and extension of landing gear, Automatic pilot and gun turrets etc. 

The report also gives the function of the hydraulic system power pump is to change mechanical horsepower to hydraulic horsepower and types of Power Pumps.

Aircraft Mechanical Seminar Project Report On Stealth Technology In Aircraft's

Intro: This is a Aircraft Mechanical Seminar Project Report On Stealth Technology In Aircraft's done for third year Mechanical Seminar work report. Stealth aircraft are aircraft that use stealth technology to make it harder to be detected by radar and other means than conventional aircraft by employing a combination of features to reduce visibility in the visual, audio, infrared and radio frequency (RF) spectrum and the project report focus on other different aspects.

The report also tells about principles of radar reflectivity and how they can be exploited when one starts thinking about aiming for stealth in earnest and RCS minimization techniques.
