Enabling automated facility maintenance from articulated robot Collision-Free designs

Key challenges found in some facilities maintenance (FM) operations include the dependency on placing sophisticated workers in undesirable working conditions that could make them susceptible to accidents. Robot-assisted in-situ facilities maintenance represents new opportunities by assisting human operators when exposed to harsh environments. However, given the complexities and potential varieties of advanced robotic machinery available for use in facility maintenance workplaces in the future, there is still a legitimate risk of collisions between future robotic systems and the facility structure during the robot-assisted processes. This paper proposes and tests a simulation-based collision-free design method for future facilities that may be benefited from a robot-assisted FM process. At the most fundamental level, we consider interactions between the articulated manipulator (robot) and the surrounding facility structure. Inverse Kinematics (IK) and game engines are used to simulate the possible collisions between a given robot and the parameterized facility layout. To account for the uncertainty about the kinematic specifications of the future robotic machinery, a Monte Carlo method is used to model unique priority circumstances for each joint on the articulated manipulator. The simulation result, presented as the robot work zone envelope, is then used to estimate the collision probability given a certain design parameter, and the corresponding optimal design that balances the initial construction cost and the FM costs. The method is assessed for identifying a 3D spatial collision probability cloud within reach of a 7 DOF articulated manipulator that is marginally positioned within a pressure valve piping facility. These insights can provide future facility designers, managers, and equipment operators with a quick and flexible 3D spatial collision probability indicator to better design the facility and proximity limitations of any articulated manipulator positioned throughout a confined space for future robot-assisted FM processes.

Reducing control selection errors associated with underground bolting equipment

Selecting the incorrect control during the operation of underground bolting and drilling equipment causes serious injuries. Shape coding and the layout of dual control banks are two aspects of control design which require further examination. The aims of this research were: (i) to determine whether arbitrary shape coding was effective in reducing selection error rates in a virtual analogy of roof-bolting; and (ii) to determine whether any advantages exist for mirror or place layouts for dual control situations in this situation. Two experiments were conducted to address these questions. No benefits of arbitrary shape coding were evident while control location remained constant. When control location was altered, shape coding did provide a significant reduction in selection error rate. No differences between mirror or place arrangements were detected and this question remains open.

Performance evaluation of directory protocols on an optical broadcast-based distributed shared memory multiprocessor

Recent advances in the development of optical technologies suggest the possible emergence of broadcast-based optical interconnects within cache-coherent distributed shared memory (DSM) multiprocessor architectures. It is well known that the cache-coherence protocol is a critical issue in designing such architectures because it directly affects memory latencies. In this paper, we evaluate via simulation the performance of three directory-based cache-coherence protocols; strict request-response, intervention forwarding and reply forwarding on the Simultaneous Optical Multiprocessor Exchange Bus (SOME-Bus), which is a low-latency and high-bandwidth broadcast-based fiber-optic interconnection network supporting DSM. The simulated system contains 64 nodes, each of which has a processor, a cache controller, a directory controller and an output channel. Simulations have been conducted for each protocol to measure average processor utilization, average network latency and average number of packets transferred over the network for varying values of the important DSM parameters such as the ratio of the mean channel service time to mean thread run time (T/R), probability of a cache block being in modified state {P(M)}, the fraction of write misses {P(W)} and home node contention rate. The results reveal that for all cases, except for low values of P(M), intervention forwarding gives the worst performance (lowest processor utilization and highest latency). The performance of strict request-response and reply forwarding is comparable for several values of the DSM parameters and contention rate. For a contention rate of 0%, the increase of P(M) makes reply forwarding perform better than strict request-response. The performance of all protocols decreases with the increase of P(W) and contention rate. However, the performance of strict request-response is the least affected among other protocols due to the negative impact of the increase of P(W) and contention rate. Therefore, for the full contention case (i.e. contention rate of 100%); for low values of P(M), or for mid values of P(M) and high values of P(W), strict request-response performs better than reply forwarding. These results are significant in the sense that they provide an insight to multiprocessor architecture designers for comparing the performance of different directory-based cache-coherence protocols on a broadcast-based interconnection network for different values of the DSM parameters and varying rates of contention.     

Simulations of lateral mixing in cross-channel flow

Cross flow phenomena between connected sub-channels are studied by means of numerical simulations based on lattice-Boltzmann discretization. The cross (that is lateral) transfer is largely due to macroscopic instabilities developing at two shear layers. The characteristic size and advection velocity of the instabilities favorably compare with experimental results from the literature on a geometrically similar system. The strength of the cross flow strongly depends on the Reynolds number, with cross flow developing only for Reynolds numbers (based on macroscopic flow quantities) larger than 1360. Mass transfer between the sub-channels has been assessed by adding a passive scalar to the flow and solving its transport equation. As a result of the intimate connection of cross flow and lateral mass transfer, also the mass transfer coefficient is a pronounced function of Re.
