Haptic device might be used to determination motion trajectory, which can be used in virtual environment or to control other devices with similar kinematics. This task is very often realized in the area, where human appearance is forbidden, or when operator is located at a large distance from it. To facilitate a work of the controlling person, as the terminal of the device may be installed a tool, with which controlled operation will be performed. Generation a resistance force in the haptic device as a feedback allows to create conditions, which are similar to those in the actual performing of operations e.g. feeling a reaction force during contact with the object, touch etc. In this article the structure and kinematics of the haptic Phantom Omni device are presented. Device is communicated with the software created for this purpose. It may be used to determine trajectory of the manipulator motion. In this article the kinematics scheme of the haptic device and equations allowing calculations of the coordinates of the tip mounted tool and its angle in the global coordinate system are placed. Calculations are performed basing on the values of the angles between the arms of the device and coordinates of the haptic interface point. In experiments, setpoint trajectory of the tool tip was measured and compared with the reference trajectory on the plane and in the space. Tracking trajectory errors were calculated.

During collisions of bodies a part of the kinetic energy is scattered due to: internal vibrations, plastic strains, crushing of contaminations or surface defects. The remaining part is returned by an elastic interaction of bodies. A coefficient of restitution, understood as the ratio of instant impulses of the second and first collision phase, is used for the collision description. The probabilistic characteristics of the coefficient of restitution are presented in the hereby paper on the basis of experimental data. The experiment was based on recording sound signals emitted when the steel ball struck the plate. Numerous measurements allowed to determine the expected value of the coefficient of restitution and its standard deviation in dependence on the energy flux density during the collision.

The use of Hierarchical Systems (HS) technology in conceptual design of BCI is proposed in the work. Being biomechatronic by nature BCI system contains, biological (brain), computer, visual informatics (LCD, GUI), electronic (sensors) and executive mechanical (mobile robot) or virtual mechanical (virtual keyboard) subsystems. So, conceptual model of the BCI system being designed should contain connected systemic models of the above subsystems presented in the general formal basis. The BCI system structure, its dynamic presentation as the unit in its environment and BCI environment should be also described in this basis. Inter-level dynamics fulfilled by system-environment (e.g., brain-computer) interactions have to be taken into account by BCI Conceptual Model as well. Traditional models of mathematics and AI do not allow such a description. So, aed model of HS was chosen as theoretical basis of BCI Conceptual Model development in the work. Results of BCI detailed design and testing are also given.

In this paper, the manipulator identification process was presented. To identify single-layer neural network with sigmoidal functions that describe individual neurons was used. The main goal was the approximation nonlinearities of manipulator model in real time. It was assumed that the nonlinearity of the manipulator are unknown. The stability of the identification system adopted by the law of the learning network weights generated based on Lyapunov stability theory.

The practical aspect of application of structure surface intensity to the analysis of thin-walled structures was the subject of work. Method based on complex modal parameters derived from frequency response function was used. The exactitude of proposed procedure of calculations was analyzed and compared with method based on modal analysis. The example of numerical analysis was done for model of the lightly damped simply supported plate forced to vibrate with harmonic excitation. The numerical model included the source of vibrations in form of force excitation with known position of application and sink of energy with localized damper. Under special interest was the shape of intensity vector field. There were shown the advantage of applied method of modeling in comparison with method based on modal superposition. The results of the numerical calculations allow assessing the spatial distribution of structural intensity vector values on the surface parts and enabled more precise analysis of vibration energy flow. The energy balance done for particular elements the leads to valuable practical conclusions for confinement if the vibration energy flows and lowering of the sound radiation. The method of intensity calculation was intentional to show the utility of structure surface intensity method in discontinuity and damage diagnostics of mechanical constructions.

A detailed design methodology of a micro-scale 2-DOF energy harvesting device that can harvest human motion energy of low frequency and wide bandwidth is developed. Based on the concept of the 2-DOF vibration absorber, device parameters are selected to harvest energy at low frequency of 1-10 Hz and wide bandwidth with ±20% of the mean frequency, which matches the human motion. The device dimensions are limited to 40 × 30 × 10 mm3 to fit with the human wrist size. Then, a finite element model is developed to investigate the system performance with the selected parameters. When subjected to harmonic excitation of 1 g, the proposed 2-DOF device is able to provide a power of at least 10 μW in between the two close resonant peaks of 4 Hz and 6 Hz, which is the target frequency range. The device shows very high power per square frequency compared with the reported harvesters.

Tactile display is recently attracting much attention in the field of human computer interaction. There is a strong need for such a device especially for application in which the touch feeling is lost, such as surgeons willing to feel the tissue hardness during laparoscopic surgeries. In this paper, a novel multi-modal tactile display device which can display both surface shape and stiffness of an object is introduced. The conceptual design is built upon using two springs, made of Shape Memory Alloys-SMA, to control both shape and stiffness. The design parameters of this device are selected based on the spatial resolution of human finger and the stiffness range of the soft tissue. The display device is simulated using Finite Element Method, FEM, to study the effect of design parameters on the resulting stiffness. The results showed that the device can display stiffness of an object independent of its shape display. Simulation results confirmed that the stiffness display is stable when applying force by the finger during indentation for feeling stiffness, since the total stiffness error does not exceed 1.2%.
