In this research, an equation of motion of a WIP (Wheeled Inverted Pendulum) running on an irregular terrain such as the inclined road is derived. The WIP becomes a popular platform for mobile robots which should be running on not only regular pavement but also irregular terrain. In order for the WIP to run on those roads there requires a robust controller which can be achieved from a fine equation of motion. This paper derives a planar (2D) equation of motion of the WIP based on Newton-Euler equation and equilibrium point changes of it with respect to those inclined roads. The changes mean that the reference point should be changed with respect to the inclined road conditions.

A shape-shifting robot, which named “AMOEBA-I”, has diverse configurations. The accessibility of the robot can be reinforced in the narrow space by changing the configurations. In this paper, a path planning method is presented corresponding to the unique reconfigurable ability of the robot. This method can automatically adjust the computational cost according to the distribution of obstacles in robot's surrounding environment and can automatically select the configuration according to the width of the narrow space. So the robot can reach the target quickly and safely, and the unique accessibility of the shape-shifting robot is fully displayed. The deadlock situation is effectively solved by using the method of the boundary following. It has been validated through simulation results that the robot can change its own configurations to perform the path planning according to the environmental variation. As a result, the length of the path has been reduced effectively.

In this paper, we consider the synchronization of continuous multi-agent systems. We study two control protocols, without or with control input information from neighbors, and demonstrate the advantages and better performance of the latter protocol. In order to address possible communication delays for transmission of input signals, a control protocol based on delayed input information is also investigated. It is shown that the protocol guarantees the synchronization of the multi-agent system for any control input delay. Furthermore, the convergence rate in relation to the delay is revealed. Some numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the protocols.

Identification and online prediction of lifetime of cutting tools using cheap sensors is crucial to reduce production costs and down-time in industrial machines. In this paper, we use the acoustic emission from an embedded sensor for computation of features and prediction of tool wear. A reduced feature subset which is optimal in both estimation and clustering least square errors is then selected using a new Dominant Feature Identification (DFI) algorithm to reduce signal processing and number of sensors required. Tool wear is then predicted using an ARMAX model based on the reduced features. Our experimental results on a ball nose cutter in a high speed milling machine show a reduction in 16.83% in mean relative error when compared to other methods proposed in the literature.

The developments in mobile robotics have increasingly played an important role in the inspection and maintenance work of Power Transmission Lines (PTLs). This paper presents the research and development of the inspection robots for 500kV PTLs in Shenyang Institute of automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SIACAS). An overview of the research work and the development of an inspection robot AApe-B, are introduced, respectively. The AApe-B can run on the Overhead Ground Wires (OGWs) and navigate different types of obstacles in remote and locally autonomous control mode. A novel dual-wheel-arm hybrid mechanism with the excellent locomotion and obstacle-navigation performance is designed, and obstacle navigation process is analyzed. An embedded control system which can withstand the strong electromagnetic interference has been developed. A lot of field experiments have been carried out, and the experimental results have shown that the inspection robot can reliably work during the 500kV Extra High Voltage (EHV) electromagnetic environment and possess the primary ability to implement the inspection task of the 500kV PTLs.

According to the application requirements of search and rescue robots, the design criterion of control station system is proposed. Based on human-robot interaction, the architecture of this system is constructed. The control station system for the search and rescue robot is designed, which has some features such as multiple perceptive information, flexible control and strongly interaction. The experiments on the simulated disaster environment demonstrate that this control station system can control motion and exchange multi-channel information in the complex environment, which indicates the feasibility and validity in the fields of search and rescue.
