The study of touchdown angle's impact on quadrupeds such as gait, stability, speed, height is valuable. This paper unifies two common models for quadrupeds-SLIP and planar model, gets a feasible and efficient fixed point search strategy, and proposes a gait classification method based on the event sequence. On this basis, we study the influence of touchdown angle on quadruped robot in a variety of energy levels, and find that the change of touchdown angle would cause cycle bifurcation and chaos phenomena. Meanwhile, we notice in certain energy level and reasonable parameters configuration, different touchdown angles mean different gaits and only change of touchdown angle can make gait transition. In a fixed energy level, the impact of touchdown angle on horizontal speed, apex height and pitch angle is not obvious, but for pitch angular velocity it has obvious effect, and we reveal the importance of pitch angle and related variables such as inertia, mass distribution for quadruped control. Under the meaning of stable fixed points, speed adjust by changing touchdown angle is of little effect; however energy control is a feasible method.

In recent years, the robot for minimally invasive surgery has been expanded for wide application in clinic. However, robot assisted surgery is quite different from traditional surgery, so the training and practice are very important to the surgeon. The development of a panoramic simulation for robot assisted endoscopic surgery is described in the paper. The simulation is appropriate for da Vinci and other similar system. In this simulation, the robot model is accurately presented, and its kinematic analysis is precise. The soft tissue model used in the simulation is an improved mass-spring model. This model is suited for real-time and visual deformation. A commercial haptic device known as Omega is used in this simulation, we can easily obtain haptics by it. As a result, the user can switch between panoramic display and local scene by zoom, and can easily manipulate the virtual surgical robot to perform many surgical operations such as grasping and pushing, at the same time, the user can feel the force feedback.

This paper proposes the registration information, the participation information for classifying demand resources participate in demand response program. Modeling demand resources from them, it evaluates values of demand resources. Specially assuming that ignore the loss in power system, they take a role as generation. Therefore this paper proposes the conceptual transformation of demand resources into virtual generation units and then ISO executes DR scheduling from evaluated demand resources' values and generation data, network data.

Stroke is very common and always leads to severe hand impairment. Traditional robotic systems have been introduced to assist therapy for a long time and already achieved certain effect. However, with further development of therapy strategies in the last few years, higher request to the rehabilitation robot has been put forward. Thus, we are developing a novel hand rehabilitation robot named HIT-glove to provide patient-cooperative therapy for hand-impaired poststroke patients. In this paper, the mechanical design of the actuated hand exoskeleton is detailed and the control strategy for patient-cooperative therapy is introduced. The actuated hand exoskeleton, which can be applied to hands in different sizes and shapes, is able to bilaterally actuate every joint of the fingers. The patient-cooperative control strategy, based on the sensing system and an interactive interface, is well designed to let the patient actively participate into the therapy. Besides, to get a better effect of functional rehabilitation of the hand, our robot is expected to provide the following two categories of therapy: motor function exercise for joints and movement coordination training for fingers.

A compact nanopositioner which consists of three stick-slip inertial stages was designed and built particularly for nanomanipulation inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Considering linear dynamics of PZT and nonlinear friction between slider and rod, a comprehensive model representation of the stick-slip stage was presented and verified by being compared with experimental results. Resolution to 10nm has been achieved and the ability to lift up to 70g has been demonstrated. Some manipulations of nanowires were performed in assistant of the nanopositioner we developed, including picking up and bending single ones. Both results of experiments and manipulations demonstrated the excellent performance of the nanopositioner.

Continuous particles separation device by lateral dielectrophoretic force shows a favorable promise for multiple cell population separation and purification. This paper addresses the effects of micro-channel geometry shape on the electric field distribution and the distribution of the gradient of electric field square which has a direct influence on the magnitude of the dielectrophoretic force. Before this was done, the influence of aspect ratio of micro-channel geometry was investigated first. Numerical method was adopted in this paper to study the electric field distribution and the gradient of the electric field square distribution. Results show that micro-channel geometry shape and its aspect ratio have great influence on the electric field distribution and dielectrophoresis distribution. As a result, this paper proposes novel micro-channel geometry to improve electric field distribution, further more for a better dielectrophoresis separation. The improved micro-channel can generate stronger electric field strength and larger dielectrophoretic force.
A Lab-On-Chip micro-device has been introduced for the focusing and separation of particles which exploits negative dielectrophoretic (nDEP) force. A 3D numerical computational model was presented to simulate the focu...

This paper presents a novel dielectrophoresis (DEP) chip for lateral separation of cells/particles at multiple frequencies. DEP force was enabled by interdigitated electrodes fabricated in the access channel. The non-uniform electric field distribution in the micro-channel is solved through finite element analysis. To improve the effectiveness of separation, the shape of insulators is optimized and other parameters such as the width of the electrodes are studied by introducing parameter K which can stand for the DEP force imposed on cells/particles. It is proved that planar electrodes can take place of 3D electrodes under certain condition. Furthermore functions realized by 3D electrodes can also be achieved by simple planar electrodes.
The objective of this study is to show the applications of the simulation implementation of QNX identified model combining with Matlab/Simulink platform, QNX C/C++ compiler and QNX real-time operating system. The HIT/...

Utilizing catheters with unchangeable distal tip, traditional endovascular minimally invasive surgery is manually performed by surgeons present in an operating room filled with X-ray radiation. It has many disadvantages, such as poor maneuverability, radiation injury and undesirable interactivity. Thus it is difficult to guarantee the safety and efficiency. In order to improve these limitations, this paper develops a novel robotic catheter system with master-slave control, including the steerable catheter integrated with two magnetic tracking sensors, interventional mechanisms with force feedback and 3D guiding image with the collision test. The results demonstrate that the constructed system can reduce the usage of X-rays; surgeons can be located in the control room away from the operating room in the master-slave way; catheterization can be performed successfully and safely to the target point with high maneuverability.
