56 Graduate Programs in Robotics part6 United States: University ofNotre Dame
South Bend, Indiana
The Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the
University of Notre Dame offers several courses which are directed
toward an fundamental understanding of the mechanics, kinematics,
estimation and control theory, and computer programming which are
important considerations in the design of robotic systems. Of special
interest is a novel approach for achieving robust and precise
vision-based control of manipulators - "camera-space manipulation".
Doctoral recipients >from this program are teaching and doing research
in tenure-track positions at US universities. For more information,
see, on the World-Wide Web: [105]Skaar Home.html [106]AME

Studies, [107]steven.b.skaar.1@ND.EDU Research in Vision-Based
Robotics Using Estimation
The multimedia monograph discusses recent experimental and theoretical
work conducted at the University of Notre Dame aimed at using methods
of estimation to achieve accurate, robust and reliable vision-based
guidance of various kinds of mechanisms, including typical holonomic
robots, fork-lifts and other vehicles. The monograph is divided into
two parts: Part 1 discusses the method of "camera-space manipulation"
and is in the early stages of development. Part 2 discusses
vision-based navigation of a vehicle. Both parts include several
QuickTime movie illustrations of existing experiments, and part 2
includes 3-D animations for illustration of principles.
