Study on Wear Characteristics of Revolute Clearance Joints in Mechanical Systems
The existence of clearance causes contact-impact forces in joints, which lead to surface wear and incessant material loss of the joint surface during the motion of mechanisms.

Remorphable Architectures: Reprogramming Global Bistability through Locally Bistable Metamaterials
Local bistable reconfiguration in mechanical metamaterials is leveraged in globally bistable architectures to enable in situ reprogrammable transition pathways through state flip of individual building blocks. The local‐to‐global correspondence of instabilities empowers soft robotic systems with on‐demand morphing traits, as well as aerospace ...

Modeling Stiffness and Damping in Rotational Degrees of Freedom Using Multibond Graphs [PDF]
A contribution is proposed for the modeling of mechanical systems using multibond graphs. When modeling a physical system, it may be needed to catch the dynamic behavior contribution of the joints between bodies of the system and therefore to ...

Vision‐Assisted Avocado Harvesting with Aerial Bimanual Manipulation
This work outlines the design and implementation of a bimanual aerial robot that employs visual perception and learning to detect, reach, and harvest avocados. A new gripper and fixer arm assembly is used to harvest avocados, while visual perception enables the detection of avocados and estimation of their position and orientation for determining ...

Kinematic analysis of a 3-DOF asymmetrical planar parallel robot mechanism
In this study, kinematic analysis of a planarparallel robot mechanism with three degrees of freedom (DOF) was performed. Thedifference of the selected mechanism from the other planar mechanisms is thatit has an asymmetric leg structure.

A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Trajectory planning for a redundant manipulator is a classic problem. However, because it is difficult to precisely evaluate its maximum performance, an optimization method has been typically used.

A recursive method for finding revolute-jointed manipulator singularities [PDF]
A geometric application of screw theory is used to develop a recursive algorithm for computing all singular configurations of revolute-jointed manipulators with arbitrary link geometries and an arbitrary number of joints. The depth of the recursion is linear in the number of joints, n, while the computational burden is proportional to 2n−2. This method
