Robust Agent Control of an Autonomous Robot with Many Sensors and Actuators

This thesis presents methods for implementing robust hexpod locomotion on an autonomous robot with many sensors and actuators. The controller is based on the Subsumption Architecture and is fully distributed over approximately 1500 simple, concurrent processes. The robot, Hannibal, weighs approximately 6 pounds and is equipped with over 100 physical sensors, 19 degrees of freedom, and 8 on board computers. We investigate the following topics in depth: distributed control of a complex robot, insect-inspired locomotion control for gait generation and rough terrain mobility, and fault tolerance. The controller was implemented, debugged, and tested on Hannibal. Through a series of experiments, we examined Hannibal's gait generation, rough terrain locomotion, and fault tolerance performance. These results demonstrate that Hannibal exhibits robust, flexible, real-time locomotion over a variety of terrain and tolerates a multitude of hardware failures.

Dinamica populacional do bicho-mineiro (Perileucoptera coffeella) em cafeeiro no Distrito Federal.

Este trabalho foi conduzido em Planaltina-DF, para verificar a flutuacao populacional do bicho-mineiro (Perileucoptera coffeella) no cafe variedade "Mundo Novo". As avaliacoes foram realizadas quinzenalmente, coletando-se, ao acaso, folhas de cafe do terco inferior, medio e superior. esse material, apos coletado, foi encaminhado ao laboratorio, onde se faziam as avaliacoes de: numero de lesoes por folha, lagartas vivas, mortas e percentual de infestacao. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que a parte alta da planta e a mais preferida para a oviposicao do bicho-mineiro; e a maior infestacao, ocorre nos meses de junho a outubro, coincidindo com o periodo de menor precipitacao pluviometrica, epoca em que se deve concentrar o controle de praga.
