New submissions to the thesis/dissertation collections are added automatically as they are received from the Graduate School. Currently, the Graduate School deposits all theses and dissertations from a given semester after the official graduation date. This means that there may be up to a 4 month delay in the appearance of a give thesis/dissertation in DRUM

    MODEL-BASED SYSTEMS ENGINEERING SIMULATION FRAMEWORK FOR ROBOT GRASPING
    (2021) Menaka Sekar, Praveen Kumar; Baras, John S; Systems Engineering; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    Constant rise in industrial usage of robots for commercial applications has led to the need for rapid, efficient, and reliable robotic system development processes. Integration of tools from various disciplines to perform design space exploration,taking into consideration the stakeholder and system requirements, is one major step in regards to this. In this thesis, we apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles to a simple pick and place task. We do this by integrating Cameo Systems Modeling Language (SysML) tool, CoppeliaSim robot simulator, and Gurobi Optimizer to facilitate and accelerate the design process for a robot grasping system. A simulation based Verification & Validation approach supports design space exploration to obtain optimal design solutions, thereby leading to successful and profitable deployment and operation.
