Authors developed a novel type of cable reel named “Unicorn Reel (UR)” for mobile robots working in hostile environments that utilize a cable for communications and power supply. Authors introduced a pipe-elected reel configuration for the UR to receive the cable from all directions, and a new type of level winder consisting of passively swing lever to lead the cable from the pipe to the reel. Although it is simple in mechanism, authors could show by the basic experiments that it realizes good level winding feature. Authors made the UR hermetic and introduced pressurized air to prevent contamination of the reel.

In this paper, we consider a class of nonholonomic constrained mechanical systems with time delay in the control input. A reduced dynamic system is firstly derived from original Euler-Lagrange mechanical systems, and then based on the new system, model-based predictive controllers are developed to compensate for the input delay. By the construction of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and Lyapunov direct method, the proposed controllers guarantee that all the signals in the closed-loop system achieve the semiglobally uniformly ultimately boundedness and system outputs converge to an adjustable neighborhood of the given bounded desired trajectory. Simulation results illustrate the validity and performance of the proposed control design.

The nonlinear dynamic and static deflection of a micro/nano gyroscope under DC voltages and base rotation are investigated. The gyroscope undertakes two cou- pled bending motions along the drive and sense directions and subjected to electrostatic actuations and intermolecular forces. The nonlinear governing equations of motion for the system with the effect of electrostatic force, intermolecular tractions and base rotation are derived using extended Hamilton principle. Under constant voltage, the gyroscope finds the preformed shape. First, the deflection of the rnicro/nano gyroscope under electrostatic forces is obtained by static and dynamic analyses. Furthermore, the static and dynamic in- stability of the system are investigated. Afterward the oscillatory behavior of the pre-deformed micro/nano gyroscope around equilibrium is studied. The effects of intermolecular and nonlinear parameters on the static and dynamic de- flection, natural frequencies and instability of the micro/nano gyroscope are studied. The presented model can be used to exactly determine static and the dynamic behavior of vibratory micro/nano gyroscopes.

It is crucial to plan trajectory in robotic finishing with complex surface in manufacturing industry. While traditional robot programming for grinding is still time consuming and not cost-effective generally. This paper focuses on automatic trajectory planning based on the cutter location (CL) data generated in CAD/CAM system. It not only explores a suitable way to convert the G code which obtained from CL data to robot programming directly through Visual Studio, but also automatically extract motion data from G code and generate the KUKA robot paths/programs in PC. In addition, simulation of robot's kinematics models are implemented in MATLAB to verify the robot reachability. An experiment in Unigrahics, MATLAB and real robot illustrates the grinding trajectory composed of CL data is appropriated.

Parameter optimization of the controllable local degree of freedom is studied for reducing vibration of the flexible manipulator at the lowest possible cost. The controllable local degrees of freedom are suggested and introduced to the topological structure of the flexible manipulator, and used as an effective way to alleviate vibration through dynamic coupling. Parameters introduced by the controllable local degrees of freedom are analyzed and their influences on vibration reduction are investigated. A strategy to optimize these parameters is put forward and the corresponding optimization method is suggested based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Simulations are conducted and results of case studies confirm that the proposed optimization method is effective in reducing vibration of the flexible manipulator at the lowest possible cost.

In this paper, we consider the vibration control problem of a flexible string system in the presence of input saturation. The dynamics of the string system are represented by the coupled partial differential equation (PDE) and ordinary differential equation (ODE). In order to suppress the transverse vibration of the flexible string system, boundary control is proposed by introducing a well-defined integral Lyapunov function. An auxiliary system is introduced to handle the effect of input saturation, and the proof for the existence and the uniqueness of the solution of the closed-loop system is presented. The exponential stability is achieved through rigorous analysis without any simplification of the dynamics. The results are illustrated with numerical simulations for verifying the control performance.
