To detect sea floor objects fast, accurately and effectively in large-scale underwater region, a design way for detection factors related to ping-length, ship velocity and coverage-width was derived by analyzing GeoSwath's theory, spatial resolution and target resolution factors. The experiments to detect artificial objects in sea floor were carried out. The results show the importance and rationality to set detection factors of GeoSwath.

Hyper-redundant manipulators have been widely used in many fields, however many existing hyper redundant manipulators actuated directly by motors have the disadvantages of complicate structure and high cost. This paper proposes a novel remote cable-driven hyper redundant manipulator. This manipulator is based on elephant trunk bionics, and composed of several serial links combined by Hook joints. Each link is pulled by two antagonized pairs of cables. Two antagonized pairs belonged to the same link are tied and driven by only one motor, which can reduced largely the number of step motors needed. This paper fully discusses the structure and analyzes the cable stretching and retracting displacement. Analysis and motion simulation results show that the proposed scheme is practical and effective.

Because of the micro/nano manipulation's complexity, the accurate feedback information of the micro interactive force acting on micro devices is quite important and necessary for micro/nano manipulation, especially the 2-D micro interactive force feedback information. At present, there are no reliable and accurate 2-D micro force sensors applied in micro/nano manipulation. To solve the above problem, a novel 2-D micro force sensor that can reliably measure force in the range of submicro Newton (μN) is designed and developed in this paper. Based on the model of 1-D micro force sensor designed by us, the model of this 2-D sensor is set up. To verify the model of the 2-D sensor, micromanipulation experiments are designed and realized. Experiment results show the submicro Newton resolution, and verify the validity of the 2-D sensor's model. The developed 2-D micro force sensor will contribute to promoting the complexity of micro/nano manipulation, and will facilitate to automate the micro/nano manipulation.

Elucidating the underlying mechanisms of cell physiology is currently an important research topic in life sciences. Atomic force microscopy methods can be used to investigate these molecular mechanisms. In this study, single-molecule force spectroscopy was used to explore the specific recognition between the CD20 antigen and anti-CD20 antibody Rituximab on B lymphoma cells under near-physiological conditions. The CD20-Rituximab specific binding force was measured through tip functionalization. Distribution of CD20 on the B lymphoma cells was visualized three-dimensionally. In addition, the relationship between the intramolecular force and the molecular extension of the CD20-Rituximab complex was analyzed under an external force. These results facilitate further investigation of the mechanism of Rituximab’s anti-cancer effect.

A study on tank gunnery motor skill training is introduced in this paper. We developed a two-mode system used for teaching and training. In the haptic guidance mode, the trainee is passive and experiences position playback of the expert's motion with a proportional-derivation (PD) controller. In the path constraining mode, the trainee operates the haptic device actively, and the aiming point in the virtual environment is constrained on the desired path. A new haptic rendering algorithm is introduced in this mode. An experiment for record-play motion of drawing a virtual sine path and path constraining with drawing an envelope path is designed. Results indicate that the haptic rendering algorithm in the two-mode training system is stable.

This paper presents the design of a novel serial and parallel master manipulator. Firstly, the mechanism configuration of the master manipulator with a novel serial and parallel mechanism is given. Parallel mechanism uses 3-RUU type to achieve position control, and serial mechanism adopts triaxial concurrent mechanism to realize posture control. Then, the kinematics analysis of the master manipulator such as parallel mechanism inverse kinematics and forward kinematics, jacobian matrix and serial mechanism kinematics are given. Thirdly, the master manipulator workspace is analyzed, and the master manipulator static stiffness for the three points in the workspace is also analyzed. Finally, the force feedback simulation experiment is carried out to verify the parallel mechanism force feedback. It can be seen that this novel serial and parallel master manipulator meets the design requirements and future force feedback.

A shape-shifting mobile robot named AMOEBA-I has diverse configurations. Cooperative reconfiguration is presented to improve the robot's reconfigurable ability and adaptability in unstructured environments. Cooperative reconfiguration method is analyzed theoretically. A mathematical model is established correspondingly and the kinematical relations among the three modules during the cooperative reconfiguration are determined. The transformation is implemented between two specific configurations. Then, an evaluation is proposed for AMOEBA-I's cooperative reconfiguration performance. The feature of cooperative reconfiguration methods is compared through the theoretical analysis and experiments. Experimental results prove the validity of the cooperative reconfiguration methods on various grounds.

For the human hand rehabilitation, the palmar opposition is an important function to evaluate the recovery of hand motor capabilities. This paper proposes an exoskeleton-type hand rehabilitation assistive device which is able to be applied to index finger as well as thumb. The kinematics and workspace of index fingertip and thumb-tip are analyzed. The `opposition space' is defined as the intersection of the workspace of thumb-tip and the index fingertip. A metric, what we call `opposition degree', which is defined as the ratio of volume of opposition space to that of the index fingertip workspace, is proposed to present the available degree of opposition. As an example, the opposition degree of a human hand model is determined. This metric can also used to rate the ergonomic performance of the hand rehabilitation assistive device. This method can be applied to other fingers as well. The opposition simulation experiment is conducted to verify the kinematics of the proposed exoskeleton.

The mobile robot that works in dynamic environment must have strong ability of avoiding obstacles especially moving objects and move to it original goal. To achieve the goal, the dynamic polar coordinate environment model based on laser range finder is set up, which can not only simplify the environment description but also improve the responding ability. Based on these data a moving object tracking model is also set up, which take into account the influence of moving platform, may obtain better tracking effect. The robot may anticipate the collision possibility, collision time and position from tracking algorithm, and then three obstacle avoiding policy is presented for robot to choose according to the collision estimation. The experiment shows good moving object avoiding result.

Unmanned underwater vehicles have various missions within civilian, military and academic sectors. They have the ability to explore areas unavailable to manned assets and to perform duties that are risky to humans. In particular, UUVs have the ability to perform bearings-only tracking in shallow areas near shorelines. This article compares a Logarithmic Polar Coordinates EKF (LPC-EKF) and Logarithmic Polar UKF (LPC-UKF) for the estimation problem. Its objective is to track the kinematics (position, velocity and course) of a moving target using noise-corrupted bearing measurements.
