Precision robotic assembly using attractive regionsijmech
This paper describes a method for peg-in-hole insertion based on attractive regions a new approach to decompose 6D configuration space into two 3D subspaces. An impedance controller, in combination with the attractive regions, is integrated in a novel controller whereby human-like assembly performance is achieved without using a force sensor. In this paper, the insertion task uses three different pegs, as shown in Fig. 1. The strategy is to decompose the 6 DOF space in which the peg moves into two low-dimensional subspaces. The controller uses stereo-triangulation and a k nearest-neighbor (k-NN) algorithm to identify the parts. An impedance controller monitors the forces (estimated by motor current rather than a force transducer) applied to the system and uses events rather than time to determine the state and the evolution
of the assembly process. The approach is experimentally verified using a Barrett Technology’s WAM Arm,
a backdrivable 7 DOF robotic manipulator

tcStatistical and regression analysis of vibration of carbon steel cutting to...ijmech
Machining is a convoluted process in which many variables can deleterious the desired results. Among them, cutting tool vibration is the most decisive phenomenon which influences dimensional precision of the components machined, functional behavior of the machine tools and life of the cutting tool. In a machining operation, cutting speed, depth of cut and the tool feed rate principally influence cutting tool vibrations. In this paper, effects of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on cutting tool vibration in both the directions, i.e. axial and tangential are investigated by the statistical methods of signal to noise ratio
(SNR), analysis of variance (ANOVA) and regression analysis. Experiments have been conducted using the L9 orthogonal array in the centre lathe machine. Carbon steel was selected as cutting tool materials to conduct the experiments. From experimental results, the amplitude of vibration of the cutting tool was ascertaining for each machining performance criteria. The significance and percentage contribution of each parameter were determined by Analysis of variance (ANOVA).It has been observed that cutting speed has a maximum contribution on cutting tool vibration in both the directions. Variation of the vibration of cutting tool with machining parameters was mathematically modeled by using the regression analysis
method. The predicted value from the developed model and experimental values are found to be very close
to each other justifying the significance of the model. Confirmation runs demonstrates that the optimized result and the values obtained through regression analysis are within the prescribed limit

Environmental functional lead for Project Services. Reviewed and tracked environmental aspects of
development projects in the Americas. Provided guidance to regional teams helping to lead them through a
corporate capitol effectiveness process (“Stage Gate”). Activities included the identification of significant
issues with the permitting strategy for a large mining project in the North American region. I provided an
alternative strategy that was ultimately implemented to meet business objectives. I drafted the first corporate
conflict minerals policy to minimize potential to inadvertently aid in the production and sale of products
developed from exploitation of disadvantaged groups in conflict regions. I drafted new corporate waste
management and waste rock/acid rock drainage policies. Assisted Treasury and Legal groups with
implementation of a Conflict Minerals program, also assisted with Business Readiness reviews of late stage
projects, and assisted the Solutions and Innovations Group and Project Services groups with their standards
development. I also acted as a subject matter expert for due diligence investigations associated with potential
