Article Citation - Scopus: 2Effects of Earthquake Motion on Mechanism Operation: an Experimental Approach(Levrotto and Bella, 2015) Selvi, Özgün; Ceccarelli, M.; Aytar, Erman Barış; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis paper presents an experimental characterization of the effects of earthquakes on the operation of mechanical systems with the help of CaPaMan (Cassino Parallel Manipulator), which is a 3 DOF robot that can fairly well simulate 3D earthquake motion. The sensitivity of operation characteristics of machinery to earthquake disturbance is identified and characterized through experimental tests. Experimental tests have been carried out by using a slider-crank linkage, a small car model, and LARM Hand as test-bed mechanisms that have been sensored with proper acceleration or force sensors. Results are reported and discussed to describe the effects of earthquake motion on the characteristics of mechanism operation as a service application of the robotic CaPaMan system.Conference Object A Survey on Uninhabited Underwater Vehicles (uuv)(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2009) Aytar, Erman Barış; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis work presents the initiation of our underwater robotics research which will be focused on underwater vehicle-manipulator systems. Our aim is to build an underwater vehicle with a robotic manipulator which has a robust system and also can compensate itself under the influence of the hydrodynamic effects. In this paper, overview of the existing underwater vehicle systems, thruster designs, their dynamic models and control architectures are given. The purpose and results of the existing methods in underwater robotics are investigated.
