Robotic Assembly Using 3D and 2D Computer Vision

The content of this thesis concerns the development and evaluation of a robotic cell used for automated assembly. The automated assembly is made possible by a combination of an eye-inhand 2D camera and a stationary 3D camera used to automatically detect objects. Computer vision, kinematics and programming is the main topics of the thesis. Possible approaches to object detection has been investigated and evaluated in terms of performance. The kinematic relation between the cameras in the robotic cell and robotic manipulator movements has been described. A functioning solution has been implemented in the robotic cell at the Department of Production and Quality Engineering laboratory. Theory with significant importance to the developed solution is presented. The methods used to achieve each part of the solution is anchored in theory and presented with the decisions and guidelines made throughout the project work in order to achieve the final solution. Each part of the system is presented with associated results. The combination of these results yields a solution which proves that the methods developed to achieve automated assembly works as intended. Limitations, challenges and future possibilities and improvements for the solution is then discussed. The results from the experiments presented in this thesis demonstrates the performance of the developed system. The system fulfills the specifications defined in the problem description and is functioning as intended considering the instrumentation used

C. Valerii Catulli Carmen 66: A Critical Edition with Introduction, Translation and Textual Commentary

This article presents a new critical edition of Catullus’ Carmen 66 along with an introduction, a translation and a textual commentary. The text, based on fresh collations of the manuscripts O and G , deviates from the Oxford text by R.A.B. Mynors in 27 cases. Furthermore, it is the first edition to consider the conventional first two lines of Catullus 67 as the last two lines of Catullus 66, an idea independently conjectured by Alex Agnesini in 2011 and Ian Du Quesnay in 2012

Team Denmark’s sport psychology professional philosophy 2.0

In 2008, Team Denmark established a sport psychology team with the aim to enhance the quality and consistency of applied sport psychology services in Danish sport. The team began their work by creating a professional philosophy (Henriksen, Hansen, & Diment, 2011). Since this publication, the team has worked closely with Danish athletes, coaches and sport federations in consultations, training and competitions, including at numerous World and Europeans Championships as well as several Olympic Games. Lessons learnt on the job, the introduction to new theoretical perspectives, insights from supervision, and formal professional education have resulted in the continual development of the team’s professional philosophy. The purpose of this article is to present a revised version of Team Denmark’s professional philosophy; including: (1) the vision for the team; (2) basic beliefs and values; (3) the psychological theories that interventions are based upon; (4) Team Denmark’s Sports Psychological model which describes the content and focus of the team’s work; and (5) the concrete psychological services that delivered. High quality service requires coherence across all five levels of the philosophy.In 2008, Team Denmark established a sport psychology team with the aim to enhance the quality and consistency of applied sport psychology services in Danish sport.
