A Bidirectional Human-Machine Control Interface Based on Virtual Fixtures for Safe Teleoperation of Hyper-Redundant Robots

open access: yesIEEE Access
In confined and hazardous environments where human access is severely limited, hyper-redundant manipulators play a crucial role in preserving operator safety and mitigating operational risks. Their numerous degrees of freedom and compact design make them

On null-space control of kinematically redundant robot manipulators

open access: yes2016 European Control Conference (ECC), 2016
In this study, we consider the null-space control problem of redundant robot manipulators. Specifically for robot manipulators with kinematically redundancy where at least one extra degree of freedom is present, we introduce a sub-task controller that will ensure the use of the extra degrees of freedom for possible control purposes while still ensuring

On‐Demand Activation of Thin Alginate Shell Encapsulated Volatile Liquid for Untethered Pneumatic Soft Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Phase‐changing liquids enable untethered pneumatic actuation in soft robotics but suffer from volatility and storage challenges. This work reports a simple method to encapsulate Novec 7000 within micron‐thin alginate shells via in situ injection and ionic crosslinking.

Modelling and simulation of multi spindle drilling redundant SCARA robot using SolidWorks and MATLAB/SimMechanics

open access: yesRevista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2016
The robots are electromechanical systems that need Mechatronic approach before manufacturing to reduce the development cost. In this paper, the Modelling of the PRRP (Prismatic Revolute Revolute Prismatic) configuration redundant SCARA robot with a Multi

The kinematics of hyper-redundant robot locomotion [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
This paper considers the kinematics of hyper-redundant (or “serpentine”) robot locomotion over uneven solid terrain, and presents algorithms to implement a variety of “gaits”.

Impact of Pre‐Oxidation Treatments on a Recycled MgO/Steel‐Composite as Carbon Free Anode in Aluminum‐Electrolysis Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Cermets (60 vol.% AISI 316L stainless steel, 40 vol.% recycled MgO), intended for use in aluminum electrolysis, were pre‐oxidized in three furnaces with different heating technologies and subjected to a cryolite corrosion test. The different atmospheres influenced the formation of oxide layers, which in turn affected corrosion resistance and ...

Cable Robot Performance Evaluation by Wrench Exertion Capability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Although cable driven robots are a type of parallel manipulators, the evaluation of their performances cannot be carried out using the performance indices already developed for parallel robots with rigid links.

Microstructure Evolution of a VMnFeCoNi High‐Entropy Alloy After Synthesis, Swaging, and Annealing

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The synthesis and processing (rotary swaging and annealing) of the novel VMnFeCoNi alloy is investigated, alongside the estimation of the grain size effect on hardness. Analysis of a wide grain size range of recrystallized microstructures (12–210 µm) reveals a low annealing twin density.

A discrete-time distributed optimization algorithm for cooperative transportation of multi-robot system

open access: yesComplex & Intelligent Systems, 2023
Multi-robot cooperation is a typical application of multi-robot system, which has strong potential applications in many special occasions. However, few scholars have considered cooperative optimization transportation from the perspective of optimization.
