This paper addresses the problem of car headlight lens inspection. First, the currently quality control of lenses with the defect characterization is presented. Second, a vision-sensor-planning system is developed. This system utilizes the CAD information of the headlight lens and the camera model to plan camera viewpoints. The desirable sensor poses are achieved by a genetic algorithm. To improve the performance of the system the customer requirements and the skill of the human inspector are included through a fuzzy system.

Due to the widespread application of the PID controller in industrial control systems, it is desirable to know the complete set of all the stabilizing PID controllers for a given plant before the controller design and tuning. In this paper, the stabilization problems of the classical proportionalintegral-derivative (PID) controller and the singleparameter PID controller (containing only one adjustable parameter) for integral processes with time delay are investigated, respectively. The complete set of stabilizing parameters of the classical PID controller is determined using a version of the Hermite-Biehler Theorem applicable to quasipolynomials. Since the stabilization problem of the singie-parameter PID controller cannot be treated by the Hermite-Biehler Theorem, a simple method called duallocus diagram is employed to derive the stabilizing range of the single-parameter PID controller. These results provide insight into the tuning of the PID controllers.

A segmented hyper-redundant manipulator can perform complicated operation tasks in a confined space due to its high flexibility and dexterity. However, the trajectory planning in a narrow space and obstacles environment is very challenging for the manipulator. In this paper, we propose a geometry method to simultaneously plan the end-effector pose and manipulator’s configuration. Firstly, the geometries of each segment are described by an inscribed arc(IA) and a circumscribed arc(CA). Then,the whole kinematics chain is considered as an inscribed curve(IC) or a circumscribed curve(CC) which are composed of multiple IAs or CAs. Furthermore, the IC and CC of the manipulator are divided into multiple spatial single-arc and double-arc groups according to requirements. The pose-configuration simultaneous planning is realized by the spatial single-arc/double-arc modeling and joints angles solving. By numerical iteration, the spatial arcs’ parameters are determined according to desired pose and boundary condition of obstacle avoidance. The angles of joints are analytically solved when the above parameters are known. Finally, a narrow space detection task is simulated and experimented respectively. The results verify the proposed method.

A cable-driven redundant manipulator has significant potential in confined space applications, such as environmental exploration, equipment monitoring, or maintenance. A traditional design requires 3N driving motors/cables to supply 2N degrees of freedom(DOF) movement *** number of motors is 1.5 times that of the joints’ DOF, increasing the hardware cost and the complexity of the kinematics, dynamics, and control. This study develops a novel redundant space manipulator with decoupled cable-driven joints and segmented linkages. It is a 1680 mm continuum manipulator with eight DOF, consisting of four segmented linkages driven by eight motors/pairs of cables. Each segment has two equivalent DOF, which are realized by four quaternion joints synchronously driven by two linkage cables. The linkage cables of adjacent joints are symmetrically decoupled and offset at 180°. This design allows equal-angle movement of all the joints of each segment. Moreover, each decoupling driving mechanism is designed based on a pulley block composed of two fixed and movable pulleys. The two movable pulleys realize the opposite but equidistant motions of the two driving cables, i.e., pulling and loosening, assuring symmetrical movements of the two driving cables of each segment. Consequently, the equivalent 2N-DOF joints are driven only by 2N motors, significantly reducing the hardware cost and simplifying the mapping relationship between the motor angle/cable length and the joint angle. Furthermore, the bending range of each segment could reach 360°, which is three times that of a traditional design. Finally, a prototype has been developed and experimented with to verify the performance of the proposed mechanism and the corresponding algorithms.

The growing amount of space debris poses a threat to operational spacecraft and the long-term sustainability of activities in outer space. According to the orbital mechanics, an uncontrolled space object will be tumbling, bringing great challenge to capture and remove it. In this paper, a dual-arm coordinated ‘‘Area-Oriented Capture'(AOC) method is proposed to capture a non-cooperative tumbling target. Firstly, the motion equation of the tumbling target is established, based on which, the dynamic properties are analyzed. Then, the ‘‘Area-Oriented Capture'concept is presented to deal with the problem of large pose(position and attitude) deviation and tumbling motion. An area rather than fixed points/devices is taken as the object to be tracked and captured. As long as the manipulators’ end-effectors move to a specified range of the objective areas(not fixed points on the target, but areas), the target satellite will be hugged by the two *** last, the proposed method and the traditional method(i.e. fixed-point oriented capture method)are compared and analyzed through simulation. The results show that the proposed method has larger pose tolerance and takes shorter time for capturing a tumbling target.

An improved Razumikhin-type theorem is established, and the advantage of the established theorem for reducing conservatism is discussed. For a class of time-delay systems, a simple asymptotic stability condition is deduced as an application of the established theorem. Two illustrative examples are given to show the superiority of our results to those in the literature.
The paper considers an algorithm that uses customizable diagnostic models based on Laguerre filters with only a recursive part to search for parametric defects in continuous automatic control systems. A comparison is ...

Drill wear not only affects the surface smoothness of the hole, but also influences the life of the drill. Drill wear state recognition is important in the manufacturing process, which consists of two steps: first, decomposing cutting torque components from the original signals by wavelet packet decomposition (WPD); second, extracting wavelet coefficients of different wear states (i.e., slight, normal, or severe wear) with signal features adapting to Welch spectrum. Finally, monitoring and recognition of the feature vectors of cutting torque signal are performed by using the K-means cluster and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN). The experiments on different tool wears of the multivariable features reveal that the results of monitoring and recognition are significant and effective.
