For the complexity of ocean environment, the motion of ship is a very complicated movement, it's very important to develop a suitable mathematical model to describe it quite exactly. Also the ship control system is a nonlinear, mutative and multi-variable system which poses many new problems and challenges for trajectory tracking control methods of unmanned ship. In this paper, a nonlinear mathematical model of under-actuated unmanned ships is developed. A state feedback control law of straight-line tracking control system is presented using the Lyapunov direct method and nonlinear back-stepping. Numerical simulation using Matlab/Simulink was provided to verify the validity of the proposed method.

Aim of this paper is to generate joint angle trajectory of knee joint and fed it to a myoelectric controlled lower body exoskeleton to regenerate lost gait pattern. EMG signal of six different lower limb muscles has been acquired and fused using standard fusion technique discarding spurious data. From the fused EMG data, different gait parameters like stride time, gait phase etc has been calculated. Joint trajectory during a gait cycle is obtained from Kinect sensor that can extract comprehensive gait information from all parts of the body. Joint angle obtained from kinect is combined with the gait parameters acquired from EMG and together they will be fed to a robotic lower limb exoskeleton. As the exoskeleton joints are fed with true joint angle data of the user and the joints are driven by users own intention signal, functioning, control and acceptability of the exoskeleton device is much more to a user. The system has massive application in gait rehabilitation for post stroke patients, people suffering from cerebral palsy and other neuro muscular gait defects, amputees etc.

Human-human physical interaction has proven to be advantageous especially in contexts with high coordination requirements. But under which conditions can haptic communication bring to performance benefits in a challenging cooperative environment? In this work we investigate which are the dynamics that intervene when two subjects are required to switch from a bimanual to a dyadic configuration in order to solve a complex reaching and stabilization task of a virtual tool in the presence of an unstable dynamics. Results show that dyadic cooperation can improve the performance respect to the individual condition, while minimizing the effort. However, in the joint task, when the stiffness of the system becomes harder to manipulate the feedback delays appear to be critical in determining the maximum achievable level of performance.
We present the fabrication of catalytic driven micro-nano robot by direct laser writing. The micro-nanorobot has a spiral design of 3,5, and 7 μm named D1, D2 and D3 respectively and a flat top design D4. The micro-n...

The article is focused on a measurement system for ground reaction forces in a skid-steering mobile platform. The information derived by such a system is useful for several model based control algorithms which in turn are the base for requirements of a measurement system. The system, that meets the requirements, is proposed and initially discussed. Presentation of a system concept is complemented by initial experimental results.

Traditionally, grasp and arm motion planning are considered as separate tasks. This paper presents an integrated approach that only requires the initial configuration of the robotic arm and the pose of the target object to simultaneously plan a good hand pose and arm trajectory to grasp the object. The planner exploits the concept of independent contact regions to look for the best possible grasp. The goal poses for the end effector are obtained using two different methods: one that biases a sampling approach towards favorable regions using principal component analysis, and another one that considers the capabilities of the robotic arm to decide the most promising hand poses. The proposed method is evaluated using different scenarios for the humanoid robot Spacejustin.

Customer-driven manufacturing environments experience frequent changes in product design which complicates the planning of inspection station layout, for minimal profit erosion. Modular inspection systems have been researched to minimize the implementation costs of inspection stations. This paper presents a solution to achieving low quality costs by considering the location and configuration of the researched modular inspection stations within a customer-driven manufacturing environment. A model was derived to minimize the Cost of Quality metric for a given set of customer requirements and inspection station configurations. The results suggested by the model were simulated and compared to the performance of the 100% and 0% inspection allocation strategies. The performance of each strategy was largely dependent on the reliability of each process involved with the assembly of the product.
Domestic power situation is changing rapidly, and effective energy-saving measures in offices and homes are required. In office buildings, lighting consumes about 20% of the power consumption, and air-conditioner cons...

During past two decades many efforts have been made by different researchers in developing robotic grippers. Some of these grippers are robust and used for handling large objects. On the contrary, certain grippers are adroit enough even to handle biological cells. Wide varieties of grippers are now-a-days available featuring different kinematic ability, dexterity, mode of actuation, usage of sensors, maximum weight carrying capabilities and many more attributes. But they all accord to a single issue, i.e. inspiration. In recent years some compliant grippers have been developed but the crucial issue of controlling them still remains a topic of discussion. In this paper a novel design have been proposed which enables us having the force information from the gripper structure itself which in turn will contribute in controlling the gripper properly.
