3D point cloud is the original format of three dimensional map for the navigation of mobile robotics. Time of Flight camera can directly return 3D points and grayscale image simultaneously, but the color information is lost. In this paper, 3D points are colored by calibrating PMD camera with RGB camera, and then the RGB image is generated with respect to a frame of TOF camera. Point cloud form only one frame is not large enough for navigating the robot or observing the environment, an approach for combining two continuous frames is also proposed. Scale invariant features are detected from the RGB images generated, and features from two images are matched accurately. Iterative Closest Point(ICP) algorithm is used to estimate the relative pose transformation of TOF camera, the initial pose is computed from corresponded 3D feature point pairs. The experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach proposed in the paper.

Anchoring technology is necessary for the lander to land on the asteroid. Four types of anchoring modes and their characteristics are discussed, and then an anchoring system is introduced. Some key factors related to the performance of the anchoring system are presented. These factors include characteristics of the asteroid, penetrating energy and shape of the anchor tip. Penetrating energy and shape of the anchor tip are analyzed quantitatively, and then pyrotechnical and conic anchor tip is selected for the anchoring system. Finally, anchoring system is tested by penetrating in soil and sand media.

In this paper we propose a strictly conservative and novel hybrid safety control strategy consisting of the pre-contact safety strategy and the post-contact safety strategy in order to provide safety guarantees and enable continuous motions. An optimal motion trajectory planning that limits jerk, acceleration and velocity of robot motion and can obtain a time optimal motion is introduced as post-contact safety strategy. The optimal motion trajectory planning can reduce the impact forces during occurring collision and keep high efficiency of manipulator and continuous motions. Then we describe a fast continuous collision detection as pre-contact safety strategy to avoid collision. The advantages of this method are that it can solve the tunneling problem and check the whole trajectory. Finally, the proposed hybrid safety control strategy has been implemented on a 7 degrees-of-freedom(DOF) humanoid manipulator, and the experimental results demonstrate the validity of the novel hybrid safety control strategy.

A novel type of mobile jack robot is proposed in view of the fact that the traditional method of debris jacking up is usually inefficient and unsafe. The jack robot has two motion modes: fast motion mode in which the robot can drive in straight line, veer and climb with the use of crawler and crawling mode in which the robot can open narrow gaps and cultivate spaces under debris by itself to enable it to pass through. The step-shaped structure on the robot's head is able to insert into a 40 mm gap and expand it to 410 mm gradually, to make enough spaces for rescue teams and other rescue tools to save out survivors under debris. The robot can jack up 1000 kg load driven by a single-acting hydraulic cylinder which generates 101 kN force at rated pressure 70 MPa. Experiments are carried out to verify the validity of the proposed design.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) can probe single living cells and single native membrane proteins in natural fluid environments with label-free high spatial resolution. It has thus become an important tool for cellular and molecular biology that significantly complements traditional biochemical and biophysical techniques such as optical and electron microscopy and X-ray crystallog-raphy. Imaging surface topography is the primary application of AFM in the life sciences. Since the early 1990s, researchers have used AFM to investigate morphological features of living cells and native membrane proteins with impressive results. Steady improvements in AFM techniques for imaging soft biological samples have greatly expanded its applications. Based on the authors' own research in AFM imaging of living cell morphologies, a review of sample preparation procedures for single-cell and single-molecule imaging experiments is presented, along with a summary of recent progress in AFM imaging of living cells and native membrane proteins. Finally, the challenges of AFM high-resolution imaging at the single-cell and single-molecule levels are discussed.

Simulation is a reasonable approach and important basis for studies and trainings of astronauts' multimodule space station intra-vehicular navigation. Based on the introduction of the main simulation effect required, the research progress of multimodule space station intra-vehicular navigation simulation was summarized and analyzed from three aspects: limitations of traditional intra-vehicular activity(IVA) simulation methods, development of virtual reality(VR)-based multimodule space station intra-vehicular navigation simulation, and shortcomings existing in the VR-based simulation methods. Research production and deficiency in areas of the obligatory and/or automatic spatial updating verification and the effect of subjects' posture on the navigation simulation were studied emphatically. At last, the research directions in future were pointed out.

In order to increase the interaction of nanomanipulation, a tele-nanomanipulation platform with virtual 3D visual feedback and virtual force sense feedback is built by combining with the virtual reality technology and the force feedback device. To ensure that the virtual environment is able to reflect the real nanomanipulation environment accurately, the collision detection and force sensing rendering of the virtual model is designed in detail. The virtual match link between the force feedback device and virtual environment is introduced to ensure the stability of the force interaction interface and to increase the coordination of the master control module. Aiming at the accurate nanomanipulation, the image characteristics extraction method based on the region of interest is adopted to exact the depth information of probe. Then the relationship of image fuzzy degree and the distance between the probe and the substrate is quickly established, and the closed-loop control of the probe is realized. Finally, with the developed platform and the proposed method, the shift experiments of single ZnO nanowire are completed.
