Conference Object Redundancy resolution options for the twin-it-romans robotic hybrid manufacturing system(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2025) Gündüz, G.M.; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Kiper, Gökhan; Schmitz, M.; Corves, B.The Twinnig Iztech in Robotics Manufacturing System (TWIN-IT-ROMANS) project funded by EU Horizon -Widera-2023-Access-02-01 aims to develop a hybrid manufacturing system that can perform additive and subtractive manufacturing processes and inline quality control using a robotic system. The system will incorporate a 6-degree-of-freedom robot arm and a positioner with 2-degree-of-freedom, which will operate synchronously. This manipulation system is to be designed for performing different manufacturing operations with different degrees-of-freedom requirements. In order to reveal alternative trajectory planning scenarios for this system, this paper presents an initial review of redundancy resolution approaches for kinematically redundant robotic manipulators. First, the four main approaches for redundancy resolution techniques are introduced. Then main studies on energy minimization and stiffness maximization for kinematically redundant robotic manipulators are reviewed. Similar or new approaches are planned to be generated and implemented for the redundant system for hybrid manufacturing. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.Conference Object Towards Sustainable Manufacturing: a Review and Future Directions in Additive Manufacturing of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2025) Türkcan, M.Y.; Tetik, Halil; Kurt, B.; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Karaş, B.; Tetik, H.; Shokrani, A.; Dede, M.İ.C.The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a global framework for addressing critical challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity and sustainable industrialization. With increasing demand for products and improving quality of life, linear consumption of materials and resources following the “take-make-waste” is no longer possible. As such, innovative solutions are increasingly necessary to enable circular economy in manufacturing. Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a transformative technology in achieving SDGs by enhancing resource efficiency and minimizing waste. Fiber reinforced composites are a promising application of AM, as they offer the potential to optimize material use, reduce labor and support sustainable production practices. However, there is an urgent need for considering circular economy strategies, life cycle assessment (LCA) frameworks and effective recycling at the end of their lifetime. This study examines additive manufacturing systems for fiber-reinforced composites, their environmental impact and exploring the potential contributions of robotic integration in composite manufacturing to enhanced sustainability. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 3A Continuously Variable Transmission System Designed for Human–robot Interfaces(Springer, 2021) Mobedi, Emir; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanWithin a predefined limit, continuously variable transmission (CVT) systems can continuously vary the power transmission ratio. The transmission in CVTs is achieved via friction, belt or gear systems. If CVT designs can incorporate backdrivability, independent output position and impedance variation, shock absorbtion, and low mass and inertia, they can be employed in human–robot interfaces. Among various types of CVT designs, the two-cone drive CVT designs have a major drawback since the output torque and position cannot be changed independent of each other. The friction wheel used in this design does not have a holonomic motion capability and causes this inconvenience. In order to overcome this problem, a sphere is used in this work for the CVT design as the transmission element. In addition, it is stated in the literature that common CVT drive systems do not have the capability to be used in cyclic bidirectional motion. In the presented CVT design, a second sphere is added to the system with two springs from the lower part of the cones for pretension in order to solve the bidirectional transmission problem. In this paper, the working principle and conceptual design details of the novel two-cone CVT drive are presented. Experimental results showed that the novel CVT has the capacity to transmit bidirectional power with some accuracy. © 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5A Continuously Variable Transmission-Based Variable Stiffness Actuator for Phri: Design Optimization and Performance Verification(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2024) Mobedi, Emir; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanPhysical human–robot interfaces (pHRIs) enabled the robots to work alongside the human workers complying with the regulations set for physical human–robot interaction systems. A variety of actuation systems named variable stiffness/impedance actuators (VSAs) are configured to be used in these systems’ design. Recently, we introduced a new continuously variable transmission (CVT) mechanism as an alternative solution in configuring VSAs for pHRI. The optimization of this CVT has significant importance to enhance its application area and to detect the limitations of the system. Thus, in this paper, we present a design optimization approach (an adjustment strategy) for this system based on the design goals, desired force, and minimization of the size of the system. To implement such design goals, the static force analysis of the CVT is performed and validated. Furthermore, the fabrication of the optimized prototype is presented, and the experimental verification is performed considering the requirements of VSAs: independent position and stiffness variation, and shock absorbing. Finally, the system is calibrated to display 6 N continuous output force throughout its transmission variation range. © 2024 by ASME.Conference Object Energy and Exergy Analysis of a Roof-Mounted Photovoltaic System in Gebze-Turkey(Springer, 2024) Khalejan, Seyed Hamed Pour Rahmati; Cankurt, Tolga; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanThis study investigates the electrical and thermal exergy, power conversion efficiency and exergy efficiency of a roof-mounted photovoltaic (PV) system considering environmental parameters such as solar irradiation, ambient temperature and wind speed over a year. The values of solar exergy and solar potential are obtained by taking into account the solar insolation. Experimental and theoretical results indicate that wind speed and surface temperature have significant effects on the thermal exergy and exergy efficiency of solar PV systems. The mean solar potential in the region was found to be 93%. In addition, the electrical exergy was varied from 9145 W to 40460 W and the thermal exergy of PV systems was varied from 1639 W to 6193 W. While the range of PV power conversion efficiency varies from 6.15% to 11.56% over a year, the range of exergy efficiency varies from 5.31% to 9.78%. © 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4A Study on a Computationally Efficient Controller Design for a Surgical Robotic System(Springer, 2023) Ayit, Orhan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanThe control algorithms of the surgical robotic system using the robot’s dynamics produce a relatively high computational load on the processor.

In this study, a stiffness modeling solution for over-constrained parallel mechanisms is proposed while considering the computational cost efficiency. Three contributions of the paper are: (1) Presenting the stiffness modeling procedure for serially connected closed-loop structures by using the Virtual Joint Method (2) Considering the effect of dynamic auxiliary forces and dynamic external forces on the mobile platform's deflection and achieving a direct solution by using superposition principle (3) A model fitting procedure for modifying the stiffness coefficients to comply with the experimental data. A 2 degrees-of-freedom over-constrained parallel mechanism is investigated as a case study. However, the proposed stiffness model is 6-DoF since compliant deflections occur in any direction. A finite element analysis and an experimental study verify the model's results.Research Project Farklı Kinematik Modellere Sahip Ana ve Bağımlı Robotları Olan Telerobotik Sistemin Geliştirilmesi: Teori ve Uygulamaları(2015) Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Zergeroǧlu, Erkan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanProje kapsamında farklı kinematik modellere sahip ana ve bağımlı robotları olan telerobotik sistemler için denetleyicilerin tasarlanması ve İzmir Yüksek Teknoloji Enstitüsü ve Gebze Teknik Üniversitesi (eski adı Gebze Yüksek Teknoloji Enstitüsü) arasında gerçekleştirilecek deneyler ile gerçeklenmesi hedeflenmiştir.

Genellikle ana sistem görev yerinden uzaktadır ve kullanıcı ana sistemi kullanarak gönderdigi komutlar ile bagımlı sistemi kullanarak görevi gerçeklestirir. Söz konusu komutlar sıklıkla hareket komutlarıdır ve ana sistem kullanıcıdan bu hareket komutlarını toplamakla yükümlüdür. Görevin ihtiyacına göre söz konusu hareket komutları kullanıcının genellikle el hareketlerinden ve bazen de kullanıcının ayak, bacak, göz veya tüm vücut hareketlerinin de algılanması ile toplanabilir. Eger teleoperasyon sisteminde bagımlı sistemin görev yeri ile olan fiziksel etkilesim bilgisi kuvvet geri-beslemesi olarak ana sisteme gönderilecek ise ana sistemin geri iletilen bu kuvvet bilgisini kullanıcıya iletmesi gereklidir. Hem kullanıcının arzu edilen uzuv hareketlerini toplayan hem de kullanıcıya kuvvet iletimini saglayan cihazlara kinestetik haptik cihazlar denir. Bu projede, masaüstü haptik cihaz teknolojisinde yeni mekanizma, yeni alt-bilesenler ve model iyilestirmeleri üzerinde çalısılması ile uzaktan ameliyat sistemleri gibi hassas çalısmalarda kullanılabilecek cihaz ve alt-bilesenlerinin gelistirilmesi amaçlanmıstır.

Master-slave teleoperation setting of these robotic systems enables these surgical procedures to be replicated in a virtual reality environment for surgeon training purposes. A variety of teleoperation modes were previously determined with respect to the motion capability of the surgeon's hand that wears the ring as the surgeon handles a surgical tool inside the surgical workspace. In this surgery training simulator developed for a robot-assisted endoscopic skull base surgery, a new strategy is developed to identify the preferred motion axes of the surgeon. This simulator is designed specifically for tuning the teleoperation system for each surgeon via the identification. This tuning capability brings flexibility to adjust the system operation with respect to the motion characteristics of the surgeon.
