To maneuver in unstructured terrains where the ground might be soft, hard, flat or rough, a transformable wheel-track robot (NEZA-I) with a self-adaptive mobile mechanism is proposed and developed. The robot consists of a control system unit, two symmetric transformable wheel-track (TWT) units, and a rear-wheel unit. The TWT unit is the main mobile mechanism for the NEZA-I robot, with the rear-wheel unit acting as an assistant mechanism. Driven only by one servomotor, each TWT unit can efficiently select between track mode and wheel mode for optimal locomotion, autonomously switching locomotion mode and track configuration with changes in the terrain. In this paper, the mechanism structure, the self-adaptive drive system, the locomotion mode and posture of the NEZA-I robot are presented, the kinematic relation of the inside parts of the TWT unit is analysed, and the mathematic model of the constraint relation between the mobile mechanism and the ground, abbreviated to "MGCR model" is set up for the NEZA-I robot to go through some typical unstructured environments. The mechanism parameters, which influence the self-adaptability of the NEZA-I robot, are found and optimized. Basic experiments show that the mobile mechanism has the self-adaptability to navigate in unstructured terrains and has superior obstacle-negotiating performance, and that the MGCR model and the analysis method of mechanism parameters are reasonable. From a mechanism point of view, it can provide an idea for research on the adaptive control of the robot.

This paper presents tracking control of a compliant XY nano-positioner using a transfigured loop-shaping H ∞ (TLSH) control strategy, which is capable of achieving satisfied positioning performance. The employed compliant nano-positioner is featured with a symmetric 4-PP (P represents prismatic joint) structure in which four-bar flexures are designed as the prismatic joints, meanwhile two embedded piezoelectric ceramic actuators (PZT) are adopted. Based on the identified plant transfer function of the nano-positioner, the presented control strategy and the traditional PID controller are implemented with different input scanning frequencies of 0.5 Hz and 2.5 Hz for comparisons. Both the simulation results and the practical experimental results demonstrate that the presented TLSH control method obviously performs better than the traditional PID method in the presence of plant model uncertainty, which will be applied to perform practical micromanipulation tasks.

In order to analyze the thrust force characters of permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) and to build global electromechanical model of motor drive system, bond graph model of PMLSM was proposed, in which the end effect character of linear motor was included. Referring to the method used in the analysis of rotating motor, model of PMLSM under d-q reference frame was built. Besides, magnet distortion caused by end effect was described by magnetic field generated by mutual inductance and current. According to them, equivalent circuit of PMLSM was got then transformed to bond graph model through bond graph theory and state space equation of system was established. Simulation and experiment with a homemade motor are conducted, results validate the correctness of the model and show velocity oscillation caused by end effect, in which the value of oscillation cycle is equal to polar distance.
