Crawling motion by a robot is effective for reducing shock in the case of a fall. It thus decreases the possibility of a locomotion malfunction on uneven terrain. In this paper, the control of crawling motion on uneven terrain is described. Firstly, crawling motion and detailed motion are explained. Then, a method for controlling crawling motion is outlined for its realization. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method for locomotion on uneven terrain, rough rubble ground was generated in a dynamics simulator and the crawling method was applied to our developed four-limbed robot. Additionally, a crawler robot was generated. A comparison was conducted to verify the difference in locomotion capabilities between the proposed method and other locomotion styles. The simulation results confirmed that the proposed method enabled successful locomotion of our four-limbed robot on uneven terrain.

A new approach for the autonomous navigation of a load-haul-dump (LHD) truck in an underground mine is presented. The development of a minimal-structure combined ICP-EKF algorithm utilizing a scanning-laser range-finder for the localization of the vehicle is described. The iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm is employed for matching the scanned data to an existing map in the form of a poly-line. This combined approach efficiently deals with the uncertainty present in the range data. An extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm is employed, that exploits a nonlinear kinematic model incorporating the vehicle-slip, a nonlinear observation model based on the vertices of the poly-line map, and the bearing of the laser-observations. This provides reliable vehicle estimates. Real data gathered during a trial run in the mine is employed in testing the efficiency of this approach which is found to be robust with respect to occlusions and outliers, demonstrating the successful navigation of the LHD.

In this paper a linear delayed feedback control is proposed and experimentally applied to eliminate chaos in a nonlinear electrical circuit which is known as Sprott circuit. The chaotic behavior of the system is suppressed by stabilizing one of its first order unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) by a controller designed based on so-called Pyragas method. The effectiveness of this method, firstly, is numerically investigated by stabilizing the unstable first order periodic orbit and then verified experimentally by a laboratory setup.
Enabling robots to walk and run on yielding terrain is increasingly vital to endeavors ranging from disaster response to extraterrestrial exploration. While dynamic legged locomotion on rigid ground is challenging eno...

We propose and develop a novel type of manipulator for the minute work. It can not only independently control the position and orientation of the end-effector, but also control the translational motion along with the axis of end-effector by only one actuator in any orientation. By this mechanism, it is able to achieve a larger workspace with high precision comparing with the traditional proposed manipulator for minute work. From the result of measurement of accuracy for our prototype manipulator, it is shown that the error of the end-effector tip is within 50.0 /spl mu/m and repeated positioning error is within 2.0 /spl mu/m in the changing orientation process.

Traditional visual servoing based on passive vision cannot deal with the non-textured object. Therefore, we propose a method that combines image-based visual servoing with surface structured light. The goal of our method is to realize positioning task of 3 DOFs robot in translational motion. In our approach, the phase map of a non-textured target object is got at first through structured light. Then, the edge is extracted from phase map and is utilized for the robot servo control. An error definition is adopted and the fuzzy PID controller is used for the positioning task. A non-textured white plane has then experimented and the result is satisfying.

Glass is widely used as an optical material due to its high transparency, thermal stability, and mechanical properties. The ability to fabricate and sculpt glass at the nanoscale would naturally expand its application domain in nanophotonics. Here, we report an approach to print glass in three dimensions with nanoscale resolutions. We developed Glass-Nano, an organic-inorganic hybrid resin containing silicon elements. Using this high-resolution resin, three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystals (PhCs) were printed with two-photon lithography. After printing, the structures were heated to high temperatures in air to remove organic components and convert the remaining material into silica glass. 3D glass PhCs with periodicities as small as 260 nanometers were obtained after sintering at 650°C. The 3D glass PhCs exhibit ~100% reflectance in the visible range, surpassing the typical reflectances observed from similar structures in low–refractive index materials. The quality of PhCs achieved is observed in both electron microscopy and the excellent agreement with band structure calculations of idealized structures.

This article aims to show the effects of the Micro-EDM process that influences the hole taper by comparing the parameters values during micro-drilling hole on the inconel 718 material. The condition of Micro-EDM drilling spark on the surface workpiece was 300 μm of depth and 200 μm of diameter tungsten carbide electrode. The experiment was carried out under the cover of hydrocarbon, using fluid dielectric cooling. The experiment parameters included on-time duty factor, off-time, voltage, frequency, and current, respectively. The experiment, it was found that the hole taper an immense effect on the machinability of drilling the workpieces, cause melting and recasting in the spark area, making a decrease in the ability of debris removal. Moreover, the experiment result, the tapered workpiece showed a minimized is 16.87 s, when using parameters at current 32 m A, frequency 150 Hz, and voltage 110 v, respectively. The optimal parameters to affected minimum hole taper is 0.195 degree, when using parameters at current 32 m A, frequency 130 Hz, and voltage 110 v, respectively.
