Standing wave acoustic levitation and transmission technique has been widely used in many research areas. However, the vibration of particles in an acoustic field restricts their applications. In this work, a kind of mechanism is developed by the authors, in which not only a harmonic linear actuator but also position feedback are used to precisely adjust the distance between the radiator and the reflector with micrometric accuracy. And video computing software is applied to track the motion of the particle. The influence of the factors on the frequencies of the particle both in vertical and horizontal were detailed. Besides, the acceleration field was calculated, which is in good agreement with the model of spring oscillator of an acoustic field.

Vibration characteristics of planetary rovers may contain features that can be effectively used for terrain classification, terrain properties estimation, and terrain traversability assessment. However, the conventional vibration features selected to represent the terrain induced wheel response vary with the wheel speed, which could cause misclassification. In order to extract speed-independent vibration features of wheels, this paper proposes vibration model of wheels traversing different types of terrains with consideration of the dynamics of lug-terrain interaction. Based on the proposed model, low-dimensional vibration features including frequency, amplitude, mean value, and mean square value are extracted from statistical features of vibration acceleration. Nondimensionalization is performed to make them independent on wheel speed. The features can represent the terrain characteristics decoupled from the wheel speed so that they can be used to reduce terrain misclassification in the future. Experimental results show that the vibration features extracted are independent on wheel speed and effective for terrain classification.

In this work, in order to improve spatial recognition abilities for the long-term operation tasks of the assistant robot for the elderly, a novel approach of semantic region estimation is proposed. We define a novel graphbased semantic region descriptions, which are estimated in a dynamically fashion. We propose a two-level update algorithm, namely, Symbols update level and Regions update level. The algorithm firstly adopts particle filter to update weights of the symbols, and then use the Viterbi algorithm to estimate the region the robot stays in based on those weights, optimally. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed approach can solve problems of the long-term operation and kidnapped robot problem.

The grasping control of an aerial manipulator in practical environments is challenging due to its complex kinematics/dynamics and motion constraints. This paper introduces a lightweight aerial manipulator, which is combined with an X8 coaxial octocopter and a 4-DoF manipulator. To address the grasping control problem, we develop an efficient scheme containing trajectory generation, visual trajectory tracking, and kinematic compensation. The NSGA-II method is utilized to implement the multiobjective optimization for trajectory planning. Motion constraints and collision avoidance are also considered in the optimization. A kinematic compensation-based visual trajectory tracking is introduced to address the coupled nature between manipulator and UAV body. No dynamic parameter calibration is needed. Finally, several experiments are performed to verify the stability and feasibility of the proposed approach.

In order to improve the performance of the multi-legged robot, the impact of foot-terrain is an important target to measure the performance of the robot. In order to ensure the compliance contact of foot-terrain for the legged robot, it is essential to add passive spring between the calf and foot. The mechanical structure makes the leg of hexapod robot retractable passive elastic structure. For multi-legged robots with passive elastic legs, the foot-terrain impact model is presented to measure the dynamic performance and provide theoretical support for the low impact force motion planning. The traditional planning method will cause additional impact for the switching case between the swing and stance phase. This paper presents a motion planning method that considers the deformable leg structure and impact performance. The experiments have been carried out, and the results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the foot terrain impact model and motion planning method in comparison with a conventional method.
