Packaging is a crucial stage in the mass production of components, especially when it comes to threaded components fabrication. Currently, the process of segregating bolts based on their length and thread presence is done manually, leading to numerous errors during packaging. To address this issue and achieve greater accuracy and perfection, we propose a digital segregation method using an electronic control module. By placing this module along the assembly line, it can automatically divide bolts according to their lengths and the presence of threads, eliminating the need for manual intervention and reducing human errors. Implementing this mechatronics system allows for more precise and accurate punching of bolts based on their size, resulting in high-quality packaging that takes into account various segregation factors.

This paper presents a vision-based selective spraying technique for an autonomous agricultural sprayer robot. In traditional methods, excessive chemical spraying cause deleterious effects on human health, environment and becomes uneconomical. In order to reduce the agrochemical wastage encounters in a broadcast spraying, a selective plant spraying method is used for crop chemical treatment. The sensor-based approach assisted with YOLOv7 model is deployed on a custom designed robot for recognizing and localizing the lettuce plants in field. The PID-based pressure controller is designed that minimizes the undesirable fluctuations cause by the opening/closing of solenoid-valve-nozzles (SVNs) during spraying. Thus the nozzle's spraying quality is maintained by keeping the pressure constant to a desired value. A visual servoing scheme for row tracking is presented that uses the detected plant's spatial features. The robustness of the visual-based navigation is validated in the real field experiments.

Finding a reliable Ising machine for solving nondeterministic polynomial-class problems has attracted great attention in recent years, where an authentic system can be expanded with polynomial-scaled resources to find the ground state Ising Hamiltonian. In this Letter, we propose an extremely low power optomechanical coherent Ising machine based on a new enhanced symmetry breaking mechanism and highly nonlinear mechanical Kerr effect. The mechanical movement of an optomechanical actuator induced by the optical gradient force greatly increases the nonlinearity by a few orders and significantly reduces the power threshold using conventional structures capable of fabrication via photonic integrated circuit platforms. With the simple but strong bifurcation mechanism and remarkably low power requirement, our optomechanical spin model opens a path for chip-scale integration of large-size Ising machine implementations with great stability.

Modern-day autonomous vehicles are increasingly becoming complex multidisciplinary systems composed of mechanical, electrical, electronic, computing and information subsystems. Furthermore, the individual constituent technologies employed for developing autonomous vehicles have started maturing up to a point, where it seems beneficial to start looking at the synergistic integration of these components into sub-systems, systems, and potentially, system-of-systems. Hence, this work applies the principles of mechatronics approach of system design, verification and validation for the development of autonomous vehicles. Particularly, we discuss leveraging multidisciplinary co-design practices along with virtual, hybrid and physical prototyping and testing within a concurrent engineering framework to develop and validate a scaled autonomous vehicle using the AutoDRIVE Ecosystem. We also describe a case-study of autonomous parking application using a modular probabilistic framework to illustrate the benefits of the proposed approach.

Reorienting diverse objects with a multi-fingered hand is a challenging task. Current methods in robotic in-hand manipulation are either object-specific or require permanent supervision of the object state from visual sensors. This is far from human capabilities and from what is needed in real-world applications. In this work, we address this gap by training shape-conditioned agents to reorient diverse objects in hand, relying purely on tactile feedback (via torque and position measurements of the fingers’ joints). To achieve this, we propose a learning framework that exploits shape information in a reinforcement learning policy and a learned state estimator. We find that representing 3D shapes by vectors from a fixed set of basis points to the shape’s surface, transformed by its predicted 3D pose, is especially helpful for learning dexterous in-hand manipulation. In simulation and real-world experiments, we show the reorientation of many objects with high success rates, on par with state-of-the-art results obtained with specialized single-object agents. Moreover, we show generalization to novel objects, achieving success rates of ~90% even for non-convex ***: https://***/manipulation/iros24

The Stewart Platform, a sophisticated robotic mechanism known for its precision positioning and orientation in six degrees of freedom (6-DOF), is utilized as a testbed for the proposed solution. The unique design of the platform, combining translational and rotational movements, makes it suitable for applications that demand high accuracy and rapid position and orientation adjustments. It is widely used in sectors like flight simulators, animatronics, underwater research, and medical devices. This research presents an innovative solution for the inverse kinematics problem of the Stewart platform parallel robot by synergistically integrating mathematical modeling and deep learning techniques. The study introduces a fusion of fully connected neural networks and mathematical models, harnessing the computational prowess and adaptability of deep learning and the precision of established mathematical theories.

This article presents sign language gestures application used for control of humanoid 3D printed hand with fingers, based on a modular principle. The 3D printed fingers are designed to be manufactured assembled, which facilitates the construction of the hand. All actuators, sensors, and electronic components, used in the hand control, are located in the palm. The sign language application provides good opportunities to test the dexterity and mechanical limitations of the developed humanoid hand. In addition to the sign language gestures program, a second application is created that allows hand control based on user input for each finger. The implemented software programs are described. Functional experiments are conducted and discussed.
