By combination of parallelogram link and gear, a new type of exoskeleton mechanism is developed. As placed on the back of extra vehicular activity (EVA) glove in an external way, this mechanism is able to drive the EVA glove finger to extent or flex like human finger grasp *** force sensor located at the tip of exoskeleton mechanism measures the EVA glove damping force during flexion or extension. The force reaches even to 10 N and the hysteresis of the force approaches to 31%.To predict the force which corresponds to an angular displacement of EVA glove and simulate the human factors performance metrics of extra vehicular activity, an unified Preisach numerical calculating strategy is presented by recording the number of vertices of the interface line in discrete Preisach plane and getting a series of first order reversal curves. A distance-weighted interpolation is chosen to evaluate at the points belonging to the Preisach plane except the discrete grid points. The proposed method is validated by the experiments.

An integrated micro positioning xy-stage with a 2 mm × 2 mm-area shuttle is fabricated for application in nanometer-scale operation and nanometric positioning precision. It is mainly composed of a silicon-based xy-stage, electrostatics comb actuator, and a displacement sensor based on a vertical sidewall surface piezoresistor. They are all in a monolithic chip and developed using double-sided bulk-micromachining technology. The high-aspect-ratio comb-driven xy-stage is achieved by deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) in both sides of the wafer. The detecting piezoresistor is located at the vertical sidewall surface of the detecting beam to improve the sensitivity and displacement resolution of the piezoresistive sensors using the DRIE technology combined with the ion implantation technology. The experimental results verify the integrated micro positioning xy-stage design including the micro xy-stage, electrostatics comb actuator, and the vertical side-wall surface piezoresistor technique. The sensitivity of the fabricated piezoresistive sensors is better than 1.17 mV/μm without amplification and the linearity is better than 0.814%. Under 30V driving voltage, a ±10m single-axis displacement is measured without crosstalk and the resonant frequency is measured at 983Hz in air.

After analyzing the reasons related to the pixel nonuniformity in details, an algorithm based on least square method is presented to correct the pixel nonuniformity of a CCD. The grey level datum sets of each pixel are acquired on the cases of different irradiances, then a least square method is used to estimate the relation between irradiance and desired grey level data. The correct parameters of each pixel are computed, and the correct matrix is established. Finally, the pixel response uniformity is achieved by using the matrix to correct the grey level data of each pixel. The maximum deviation is 76.5 before correcting, while correcting by the proposed method, the maximum deviation is only 0.00108. The experimental results indicate that the method is effective to correct CCD nonuniformity.

A control strategy that combines input shaping with PD feedback control is presented in this paper. Input shaping was used to cancel the swing of the bucket, and feedback was used to detect and eliminate the position error of the trolley. Simulation of the bucket dynamics was carried on to evaluate the performance of the controller.

This paper presents the design, fabrication, and application of an electrostatically driven microgripper integrated piezoresistive force sensor. The microgripper is designed to manipulate two microobjects at the same time with force sensing ability. Surface and bulk micromachining technology is employed to fabricate the microgripper from single crystal silicon wafer. The end effector of the gripper is a four arms structure, two fixed cantilever beams integrated with piezoresistive sensor are designed to sensing the gripping force, and an electrostatically driven microactuator is designed to provide the force to operate the other two movable arms. In this way, the four fingers structure enables the gripper to grasp two samples with different sizes at the same time. Experimental results show that it can successfully provide force sensing and play a main role in preventing damage of microparts in micromanipulation and microassembly tasks.

In order to offer a method for the rehabilitation of injured fingers and a means of quantitative detection and evaluation, an exoskeleton based continuous passive motion (CPM) machine is presented in this paper. Corresponding to each finger of human hand, the CPM machine has 4 degrees of freedom (DOF) driven by two DC motors. The joint force and position sensors are all integrated into the machine. The device can be easily attached and also be adjusted to fit different hand sizes. During the injured fingerpsilas flexion and extension motion the machine can always exert perpendicular forces on the finger phalanges, meanwhile it can achieve the precise control of scope, force and speed of the moving fingers. In order to control the CPM machine, we have also designed an embedded control system based on S3C2410 (a kind of 32-bit RISC microprocessor). The whole system is open-ended for new functions and applications. The function modularization method provides a new thinking of design for the control system.

The paper proposes a cooperative system of fuzzy neural networks (FNN) and fuzzy logic control (FLC). And this system is used to on-line path tracking of a mobile robot in unknown dynamic environment, instead of the commonly used FLC to research on this problem. Firstly, the application of FNN based on the kinematics models of mobile robot is described in detail, moreover, it uses an improved back propagation (BP) algorithm to complete the network learning and training. Secondly, it utilizes FLC to fulfill the real-time avoiding obstacles. The simulation results show that the proposed cooperative system is effective and robust, meanwhile possesses better abilities of path tracking and real-time avoiding obstacles in unknown dynamic environment.
