SUMMARY:Talk of Prof. Kristin Y. Pettersen
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Kristin Y. Pettersen\nDepartment of Engineering Cybernetics\nNorwegian University of Science and Technology,\nTrondheim, Norway  \nTuesday 2016-06-07 16:00\n IST-Seminar-Room V9.22 - Pfaffenwaldring 9 - Campus Stuttgart-Vaihingen  \nAbstract  \nSnake robots are motivated by the long, slender and flexible body of biological snakes, which\nallows them to move in virtually any environment on land and in water. Since the snake robot is\nessentially a manipulator arm that can move by itself, it has a number of interesting applications\nincluding firefighting applications and search and rescue operations. In water, the robot is a\nhighly flexible and dexterous manipulator arm that can swim by itself like a snake. This highly\nflexible snake-like mechanism has excellent accessibility properties; it can for instance access\nvirtually any location on a subsea oil & gas installation, move into the confined areas of ship\nwrecks, or be used for observation of biological systems. Furthermore, not only can the swimming\nmanipulator access narrow openings and confined areas, but it can also carry out highly complex\nmanipulation tasks at this location since manipulation is an inherent capability of the system. By\nincorporating the propulsion system and the manipulation capabilities in the same mechanical\nstructure, this vehicle becomes highly compact and is able to bring inspection and intervention\ncapabilities to locations where ROVs today cannot operate. In the longer term, this may enable\nreduced size and cost of subsea production systems.\nIn this talk, I will present recent research results on modelling and control of snake robots,\nincluding theoretical and experimental results.\n  \nBiographical Information  \nKristin Y. Pettersen is a Professor in the Department of Engineering Cybernetics, NTNU where she\nhas been a faculty member since 1996. She was Head of Department 2011-2013, Vice-Head of Department\n2009-2011, and Director of the NTNU ICT Programme of Robotics 2010-2013. In the period 2013 – 2022\nshe is also Key Scientist at the CoE Centre for Autonomous Marine Operations and Systems (AMOS).\nShe is CEO of the spin-off company Eelume AS.\nShe received the MSc and PhD degrees in Engineering Cybernetics at NTNU, Trondheim, Norway, in\n1992 and 1996. She has published more than 200 international papers for conferences and journals,\nand her research interests focus on nonlinear control of mechanical systems with applications to\nrobotics, with a special emphasis on marine robotics and snake robotics. She has edited a Springer\nVerlag book on Group Coordination and Cooperative control, and is co-author of one Springer Verlag\nbook on Snake Robots, and another on Modeling and Control of Vehicle-Manipulator Systems.\n\n
