Abstract:

Oğuzhan Dalgıç received his BSc. Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Özyeğin University in 2017. Upon graduation, he continued to MSc. at Özyeğin University and in his Master’s thesis, he is working under the supervision of Barkan Uğurlu on an exoskeleton project that is aimed to be used in rehabilitation of patients who suffer paralysis from the waist down. He has designed some of the critical parts of the electronics system of the exoskeleton. He is currently working as an Embedded Software Engineer at Arçelik R&D Department.

Bio: 

Modern robotic applications require high-resolution data to achieve high-fidelity and precise motion control. Since the number of sensors increases in these systems to enhance the quality of control, high-quality data acquisition systems have to be developed in parallel to cope with the increasing data rates and amounts. Specifically in mobile robots assisting human operators, power management and cabling complexity are becoming a problem that needs to be addressed. This thesis introduces an implementation of an Ethernet-based, real-time operating system supported data acquisition board that can reliably process a large amount of data within a 1 kHz sampling rate. Furthermore, it proposes a method to transfer the acquired data through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Through the integration of the BLE into the designed system, both energy consumption and cabling issues are targeted. The experiment results indicated the applicability of the proposed system.
