In this paper, the grasp operation of an underactuated finger mechanism is simulated with the aim to characterize and analyze its performance. The design of the proposed mechanism is based on spring systems that give suitable underactuation characteristics. A CAD model is proposed and then it is used in a procedure for numerical simulation. Simulation results show suitable capability for grasping a wide range of objects in size and shape by operating the mechanism inside the finger body. The achieved grasp has been simulated as a human-like functionality with a grasp contact in each phalanx.

The paper presents aspects concerning the modeling and driving scenarios of a class of vehicular power train systems. The modeling includes an analysis of the system components which include the spark-ignition internal combustion engine, the torque converter, the metal V-belt type continuously variable transmission and the wheels. Four driving scenarios are illustrated by digital simulation results: acceleration, overtaking maneuver, ramp encounter and engine brake.

A design approach is presented in this paper for underactuation in robotic finger mechanisms. The characters of underactuated finger mechanisms are introduced as based on linkage and spring systems. The feature of self-adaptive enveloping grasp by underactuated finger mechanisms is discussed with feasible in grasping unknown objects. The design problem of robotic fingers is analyzed by looking at many aspects for an optimal functionality. Design problems and requirements for underactuated mechanisms are formulated as related to human-like robotic fingers. In particular, characteristics of finger mechanisms are analyzed and optimality criteria are summarized with the aim to formulate a general design algorithm. A general multi-objective optimization design approach is applied as based on a suitable optimization problem by using suitable expressions of optimality criteria. An example is illustrated as an improvement of finger mechanism in Laboratory of robotics and Mechatronics (LARM) Hand. Results of design outputs and grasp simulations are reported with the aim to show the practical feasibility of the proposed concepts and computations.

This paper focused on a simplified method for solving the hybrid robot kinematics in CT-guided (computerized tomography, CT) surgery. By position constraint introduced, the hybrid robot can be transformed as a redundant serial 7-DOF robot. The forward displacement calculation was developed based on the product-of-exponential formula (POE). Because of the kinematics complexity of the hybrid and redundant robot, the combination technique of Ulrich two-step iteration method and paul variables detachment method (UTI-PVD) was introduced to fulfill the inverse kinematics of redundant robot, the novelty of which lay in the flexibility of various robots structures and in high calculation efficiency for realtime control. The process of solving the inverse displacement was analyzed. The UTI-PVD method can be applicable to kinematics of many robots, especially for redundant robots with more than 6DOF. The kinematics simulation was provided, and robot dexterity analysis was presented. The results indicated that the hybrid robot could implement the minimally invasive CT-guided surgery.

This paper focuses on the topology description and modeling method for reconfigurable modular serial robots. Based on the module division, one kind of n x 4 topology characteristic matrix is established to describe robots configuration. A modeling method for kinematic analysis on the basis of coordinate systems of modules is put forward. Since the joint modules have several interfaces, many configurations can be constructed. The topology characteristic matrix contains such information as the type of module, the orientation relationship of the joint modules axes, the form and connection of interfaces and the type of link. From the topology characteristic matrix, we can get the connection form and relationship between each module in the robot. A set of rule for describing a joint module-based coordinate system and transform relationship between the adjacent modules are offered and a kinematics model of the modular serial robot is derived. Hence, the modularization and reconfiguration of analysis software can be implemented. The example analyses show that the topology description and modeling method is correct and valid.
