In this study, the finite element analysis of compliant mechanisms were performed. The length of the links were established through the pseudo-rigid-body method. For each analysis, the reaction forces and moments, ...

The robotic and its evolution in recent years is one of the most transformative inventions of man. Over years innovations have made robots faster, more intelligent and smart. Modern robots utilize increasing numbers of ...

Control systems that help the driver avoid accidents, or limit the damage in case of an accident, have become ubiquitous in modern passenger cars. For example, new cars typically have an anti-lock braking system (ABS), ...

Today, line-following robots are being used in the industrial field in accordance with the emerging technology. For a while, line-following robots have begun conducting the transport operations generally carried out by ...

This work is prepared with the support of TÜBİTAK Project named “Designing and Manufacturing of Energy Efficient Various-Surface Climbing Robots Utilizing Micro-Fibers for Surveillance, Inspection, and Security Purposes” ...

The neccesity to climbing robots is triggered by many problems. High risk involved works which are carried out by humans require high cost and risk of human’s life. For example building climbing stages and similar ...

Demand on scratch resistant coatings in automotive, construction, food and other similar sectors is rising. The paints used in automotive industry can be scratched with small forces. This is a factor that decreases the ...

Ni50.6Ti49.4 specimens with %36, %55 and %60 porosity were produced by using space holder and conventional sintering method. Pure magnesium was used as a space holder and specimens were sintered at 1100C for 1 hour and ...

Within this thesis, a robot is designed and prototyped which has the capability to climb ferromagnetic surfaces tetherless, can be controlled wirelessly and flexible enough to overcome the encountered obstacles in the range ...

Design, fabrication and characterization of micro-nano bioinspired fiber array is the main idea of this thesis.Even though adhesion of the two surfaces together powerfully and easily separation from the same surface without ...
