Research Interests

 

My research has focused on the theory and applications of algebraic, geometric and probabilistic techniques to the broad range of problems in vision, control and robotics. Vision and control are the two recurrent themes in my investigations, and I am very much interested in the unification of these disciplines in the interdisciplinary field of robotics. Some particulars of my research are highlighted below.

 

*      Developing Wind Energy Systems: In December 2010, we received a new grant (approximately $6.5M) from Energy Ministry of Turkey and TUBITAK to develop national wind energy systems. Project officially started in July 2011. We will design, develop, prototype and test novel turbine systems. I’m leading the System Modeling Group. We’ll be developing mathematical models, model reduction and identification techniques to simulate the behavior of the system and control the plant.

 

*      Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV): There have been significant advances in the development of flexible, small and cheap autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles in recent years. In 2007, I initiated a new research program on UAVs in the context of a TUBITAK (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) funded project. The project consisted of aerodynamic and mechanical design, composite prototyping and electronic control systems design for autonomous flight. We designed and prototyped a new UAV (SUAVI: Sabanci University Unmanned Aerial VehIcle) which is capable of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) like a helicopter and flying horizontally like an airplane. By combining low-cost inertial sensor information with the high level GPS and camera information, SUAVI can hover at a point in the air approximately half an hour and can follow certain trajectories in semi or full autonomous flight modes. It can fly both indoors and outdoors. In indoor flights, SUAVI uses visual feedback to hover and navigate. It carries wireless cameras for surveillance. The work involved a cross-disciplinary blend of ideas drawn from mechanics, aerodynamics, electronics, automatic control and computer vision. Project successfully ended in October 2010 with 1 PhD Thesis, 3 MSc Theses and several conference and journal publications.

 

*      Bilateral Control of Teleoperators: In a joint TUBITAK/NSF international project, we developed observer based time delay compensation techniques for stable and transparent bilateral teleoperation. Using the internet as the medium of communication, we achieved successful bilateral teleoperation results in spite of variable network delays. Experiments were performed on a pair of pantograph robots that were designed and developed in our robotics lab. Project successfully ended in August 2010 with 2 MSc Thesis, and several conference and journal publications.

 

*      Visual Servoing: Visual servoing refers to the closed-loop control of robotic systems using visual feedback. We have been developing visual servoing algorithms for various robotic platforms such as the Mitsubishi PA10 robotic arm, a group of mobile robots, a direct drive SCARA robot, a microassembly workstation and a biped humanoid robot. In my visual servo control investigations, in addition to the more classical visual features, I introduced novel visual features such as “bitangent lines” and “algebraic curve features” that can be used in visual control laws. In the application of visual servoing to micromanipulation, I developed some novel estimation and control techniques based on visual feedback to characterize the mechanical behavior of the micro structures and reconstruct the interaction forces. We published several papers in the leading robotic conference proceedings, including IEEE IROS’07 (International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems) and IEEE ICRA’09 (International Conference on Robotics and Automation), two Springer book chapters and a journal paper in Machine Vision and Applications, which was published in January 2012.

 

*      Motion and Structure Estimation: Motion and structure estimation is a fundamental problem in machine vision and there is a significant amount of work dedicated to this important problem. I developed motion estimation algorithms that utilize Sliding Mode Observers (SMO), which appeared in the February 2008 issue of International Journal of Systems Science. I also developed some novel dynamic models and estimation techniques for studying curve motion. Point and line correspondence problems are well known in vision and robotics, but little is known about curve correspondence, and this work would perhaps initiate a work on curve correspondence as well. Results from this research appeared in ACC’05 (American Control Conference) as well as the October 2010 issue of Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision.

 

*      Coordinated Motion of Autonomous Robots: Autonomous multi agent systems have attracted the interest of many research groups throughout the world in the last decade. I developed a new mass-spring-damper model to describe interactions between the robots and introduced adaptive springs that could be relaxed in various operation modes. Collisions were avoided by constructing a virtual shell around each robot. Our findings were published in the proceedings of the joint IEEE CDC-ECC’05 (IEEE Conference on Decision and Control and European Control Conference) and IEEE IECON’05 (IEEE Industrial Electronics Society Conference). A journal paper was also published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science in 2005. My more recent work in this area appeared as a book chapter in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence in 2008 and as a journal paper in the September 2010 issue of Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences.

 

*      2D/3D Shape Modeling and Invariant Object Recognition: Shape modeling and object recognition are important problems in many disciplines including vision, pattern recognition, graphics, CAD/CAM and robotics. I developed a new surface fitting algorithm that utilizes ridge regression regularization to fit range data by high degree algebraic surfaces with superior stability and robustness properties. This work appeared in ICCV’05 (International Conference on Computer Vision), one of the top two vision conferences in the world. It was extended and embellished by introducing a formal proof of closed-boundedness of the resulting surfaces.  After providing more experimental results, it was then published in the October 2008 issue of Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision, one of the leading publications in this field. I also developed new 3D object recognition algorithms that employ geometric invariants of 3D algebraic surfaces. This work appeared in Pattern Analysis and Applications journal in November 2010. In the context of 2D shape modeling and recognition, I developed a new method for computing moments of elliptic Fourier descriptors. This work appeared in the August 2010 issue of Pattern Recognition Letters.

Teaching Interests

 

  Teaching has always been a very important part of my academic responsibilities. Limited number of courses devoted to mechanics, electronics and control within the undergraduate Mechatronics curriculum requires careful design of the course contents to equip students with necessary background to compete and excel in the real-world. My primary goal in teaching has been to organize and deliver my lectures in a manner that attracts the interest of all of my students, regardless of their aptitudes and backgrounds.

 

  Having had a diverse education in a variety of interrelated disciplines, I am qualified to teach both fundamental and advanced topic courses in several different areas, including Systems Modeling and Control, Signals and Systems, Control Systems Design, Robotics, Image Processing, Computer Vision, Linear System Theory, Digital Control, Nonlinear Control, System Identification, 3D Vision, Vision Based Control and Geometric Modeling. In order to link the theory with applications, I enjoy combining classroom recitations with laboratory sessions. For course projects, I place primary emphasis on collaboration, planning and design. Students must learn to organize their ideas, combine their experiences, and work in teams. In addition to class projects, I also supervise several freshman, summer internship and graduation projects.

 

  I believe my desire to excel as an educator has been instrumental in creating an environment where students of all abilities and backgrounds have been able to learn new concepts in a timely and satisfactory manner. This observation has been strengthened by the fact that I almost always have received excellent evaluations from my students.

 

Courses Taught

 

Undergraduate Courses

 

ENS206: Systems Modeling and Control - Modeling of mechanical, electrical, electromechanical, thermal and fluid systems using differential equations, Laplace transform techniques and state-space representations, Frequency domain analysis, Open-loop versus closed-loop control, simple PID controllers.

 

My primary challenge in ENS206 was to teach a class of approximately 100 students with diverse backgrounds. By assigning carefully selected problems for recitation hours and giving additional homework, I believe I was able to satisfy all of my students, regardless of their academic level.  Timely office hours also helped significantly to encourage students to learn “must-know” topics.

 

ME303: Control Systems Design - Dynamic models, Dynamic response, Feedback, Sensitivity functions, Controller design using root-locus, frequency response and state-space methods, Digital implementation of analog controllers, PID controllers, Lead-lag compensators, Linear state variable feedback control, Observers.

 

In ME303, I conveyed the message that control system design along with all its trade-offs is interesting, relevant, and fun. I believe I achieved this goal and convinced students of the importance and the significance of the subject.

 

ME403: Introduction to Robotics - Spatial descriptions, Forward and inverse kinematics, Robot Jacobians, Robot dynamics using recursive Newton-Euler and Lagrange methods, Trajectory generation, Independent joint control, Inverse dynamics control, Force control, Visual control

 

In ME403, I have been covering fundamental problems in robot modeling and control at the level of J. Craig’s classic text. This senior undergrad course provides a fairly strong background in the interdisciplinary field of robotics.

 

I am also qualified to teach several other undergrad courses, including Circuit Theory, Signals and Systems, Image Processing and Computer Vision. At Sabanci University these courses are in the curriculum of the EE Program and they are mainly taught by EE faculty members.

 

Graduate Courses

 

At the graduate level, I developed several new courses, namely “EE571: Linear Systems”, “EE529: Vision Based Control”, “EE569: 3D Vision”, “EE629: Geometric Modeling” and “EE672: System Identification”. In addition to these courses, I also taught “EE524: Digital Control” and “EE528: Nonlinear Control Systems”.
