A novel mobile self-reconfigurable robot is presented. This robot consists of several independent units. Each unit is composed of modular components including ultrasonic sensor, camera, communication, computation, and mobility parts, and is capable of simple self-reconfiguring to enhance its mobility by expanding itself. Several units can not only link into a train or other shapes autonomously via camera and sensors to be a united whole robot for obstacle clearing, but also disjoin to be separate units under control after missions. To achieve small overall size, compact mechanical structures are adopted in modular components design, and a miniature advanced RISC machines (ARM) based embedded controller is developed for minimal power consumption and efficient global control. The docking experiment between two units has also been implemented.
A rough set genetic algorithm (RSGA) is mainly studied to optimize the robot path planning speed and enhance the precision. At first, under the grid model and by the feasibility of the grid, the initial decision-makin...

The method to build the bio-electromechanical model of wearable assistant bone-setting parallel robot system is studied. Firstly, the finite element model of human leg structure is established and the map from the relative pose of the broken bones to the force maintaining the relative pose unchanged is obtained. Then the static model of the parallel robot is established and the map from the load of the platform to the driving force of the branched chains maintaining the relative pose of the two platforms of the parallel robot unchanged is also obtained. The finite element model of human leg and the statics model of the robot are integrated, the appropriate coordinate transformation is made, and the bio-electromechanical model is built. Finally, simulation curves are obtained through simulation experiment, and the corresponding analysis is given.

The design philosophy of UBot module is proposed in this paper. A novel modular self-reconfigurable robot called UBot is presented. The UBot module is compact, strength, flexible and capable of performing efficient locomotion, self-reconfiguration and manipulation tasks. This robot consists of several standard modules. Each module is cubic structure based on universal joint, and has four connecting surfaces that can connect to or disconnect from adjacent modules. A hook-type connecting mechanism is designed, which could connect to or disconnect from adjacent modules quickly and reliably. This mechanism is self-locking after connected, and energy-saving. Wireless communication technology was employed in the module, which can avoid cable-winding and improve flexibility of locomotion and self-reconfiguration. One simple orientation detecting system is designed, which can detect four possible orientations by metal contact points. A group of UBot modules can adapt their configuration and function to changing environment without external help by changing their connections and positions. To achieve small oversize and mass, compact mechanical structures and electrical systems are adopted in module designing. At last, the experiment of connecting mechanism and locomotion of UBot has been implemented.

When developing a humanoid myo-control hand,not only the mechanical structure should be considered to afford a high dexterity,but also the myoelectric (electromyography,EMG) control capability should be taken into account to fully accomplish the actuation *** paper presents a novel humanoid robotic myocontrol hand (AR hand Ⅲ) which adopted an underac- tuated mechanism and a forearm myocontrol EMG *** AR hand Ⅲ has five fingers and 15 joints,and actuated by three embedded *** can be found within each finger and between the rest three fingers (the middle finger,the ring finger and the little finger) when the hand is grasping *** the EMG control,two specific methods are proposed:the three-fingered hand gesture configuration of the AR hand Ⅲ and a pattern classification method of EMG signals based on a statistical learning algorithm-Support Vector Machine (SVM).Eighteen active hand gestures of a testee are recognized ef- fectively,which can be directly mapped into the motions of AR hand Ⅲ.An on-line EMG control scheme is established based on two different decision functions:one is for the discrimination between the idle and active modes,the other is for the recog- nition of the active *** a result,the AR hand Ⅲ can swiftly follow the gesture instructions of the testee with a time delay less than 100 ms.

Self-reconfigurable robots are different from other kinds of robots. The important difference is that these robots are self-reconfigurable based on their parts being intrinsically mobile. In order to give self-reconfigurable robots this ability, the authors conducted research using a structural features analysis of a DL-Cube module unit. On this basis a windmill-like meta-module (WLMM) was constructed. A design was made using the hierarchical planning method, on the basis of the WLMM, providing motion to the parts of the self-reconfigurable robot by a configuration that consists of WLMMs in the horizontal plane. At the same time, the WLMMs mobility allows changes to the azimuth of modules and the carrying of other modules. Thus the reconfiguration proceeds from an initial rectangular configuration to one that consists of 24 modules in an " H" configuration. Simulation experiments were given to prove the effectiveness of the hierarchical planning method and the feasibility of creating reconfigurability using WLMMs.

Because the movement of mobile manipulator has an effect on the obstacle-climbing performance and stability, the center of gravity (CG) position kinematics model was built. Using this model, the change of the CG and the effect of mobile manipulato's postures on obstacle-climbing performance are obtained in the process. And the dynamic model of key posture of climbing up obstacle was built. The effects of the velocity and the acceleration of the mobile manipulator on obstacle-climbing performance were calculated by this model. Finally, several experiments verified the analysis. The analysis can help to design and control the robot.
