This paper investigates the hydrodynamic performance of flapping caudal fin by means of numerical simulation. Dynamic simulations of caudal fin with heaving and pitching motion are conducted to determine the relationship between the maximum angle of attack and difference of phase angle in terms of thrust coefficient and propulsive efficiency under low frequency. Combing 20°~30°maximum angle of attack with 70°~90° difference of phase angle, outstanding propulsive efficiency can be obtained. In addition, qualitative analyses are made to the wake vortex spacing. This study shows that wake spacing has interaction with the thrust coefficient and the propulsive efficiency.

A maxillofacial Multi-arm surgery robot is employed to assisting maxillofacial surgery, which can improve surgical precision and reduce surgeons' strain. Thus, the safety during the processing of the surgery is necessary for protecting the patient and preventing the quality of the surgery. This paper presents the development of a collision and self-collision-detection scheme, for Maxillofacial Multi-arm Surgery Robot. The method is based on modeling the arm of Multi-arm robot and the obstacle in surgery environment by simple geometric primitives (cylinders and spheres). Methods of detecting collision about the cylinders and the spheres are introduced. By resorting to the pose of cylinder or sphere which presents in the workspace, many different types of collisions are introduced. The performance of the collision-avoidance scheme is demonstrated with Multi-arm robot via experiments.

In this paper, a geometrical optimization and reducers selection method is proposed for robotic manipulators design, which considers the flexibility of links and joints simultaneously. The Lagrangian approach is employed in deriving the dynamic model of a two-DOF manipulator. Timoshenko model is used to discretize the dynamic model. Two criteria, i.e. maximization of fundamental frequency and minimization of self-weight/load ratio, are utilized to optimize the manipulators. The NSGA-II (Fast Elitist Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithms) is employed to solve the multi-objective optimization problem. The results indicate that simultaneous consideration of the joints and the links flexibility is very necessary for manipulators optimal design. Finally, several optimal combinations are provided and the effectiveness of the optimization is proved.

In a previous study, the authors have proposed, designed and fabricated a cylindrical traveling wave piezoelectric motor excited by a longitudinal and bending hybrid composite transducer. This study focuses the research on the vibration coupling problems of the proposed stator. After the introduction of the working principle of the motor, harmonic analysis is developed to gain the input impedance characteristics of the longitudinal and bending vibration modes of single transducer; the electromechanical coupling factors are calculated to evaluate the energy transfer efficiency. Then, the input impedance characteristics of the two vibration modes of the stator are analyzed to gain the corresponding electromechanical coupling factors. At last, the resonance frequencies of the transducer and cylinder are adjusted to obtain their effects on the electromechanical coupling factors. The study results can guide the design of traveling wave motors that utilized sandwich transducers as actuators.

Quantum coherent feedback has been proven to be an efficient way to tune the dynamics of quantum optical systems and, recently, those of solid-state quantum circuits. Here, inspired by the recent progress of quantum feedback experiments, especially those in mesoscopic circuits, we prove that superconducting circuit QED systems, shunted with a coherent feedback loop, can change the dynamics of a superconducting transmission line resonator, i.e., a linear quantum cavity, and lead to strong on-chip nonlinear optical phenomena. We find that bistability can occur under the semiclassical approximation and photon antibunching can be shown in the quantum regime. Our study presents alternate perspectives for engineering nonlinear quantum dynamics on a chip.
