Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWheeled Mobile Robot Trajectory Tracking using Sliding Mode ControlAzza El-Sayed Bayoumi IbrahimThis paper introduces and discusses a control strategy for nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots. The models of the robots include the kinematic and dynamic equations of motion. Trajectory tracking control problem of parallel wheeled differential drive mobile robot is considered, where the robot should reach the final position by following a referenced trajectory for different initial conditions. A motion control strategy … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2016 · 9,318 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnderactuated Anthropomorphic Finger Mechanism for Grasping and Pinching with Optimized ParameterNorsinnira Zainul Azlan, Yamaura HiroshiProblem statement: Underactuated finger mechanism is beneficial in the anthropomorphic applications in which it reduces the finger size, weight and power consumption due to the less number of actuators compared to its number of Degree Of Freedom (DOF). However, the currently existing underactuated finger is limited to grasping operations only and unable to pinch with the finger tip. Moreover, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,544 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGait Optimization of Biped Robot during Double Support Phase by Pure Dynamic SynthesisNima Jamshidi, Mostafa RostamiThis paper deals with dynamic optimization of biped locomotion. The main focus of this research is motion optimization of double support phase. The optimization problem is dealt by using Pontryagins Maximum Principal. For motion optimization of double support phase, the closed kinematic chain has been considered to be opened at appropriate joint and the components of ground reaction forces has … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeo-Seismic Environmental Aspects Affecting Tailings Dams FailuresJuan M. Mayoral, Miguel P. RomoSeismic performance evaluations of tailings dams are essential for characterizing the geo-environmental risks posed by these earthen structures, which should include the geotechnical hazards implied by slope instability failure, free board loss and the potential release of contaminants. The observed damage is more important when liquefaction occurs on the dam body and foundation, which often leads to cracking, settlements, tilting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Parameter Tuning in a Predictive Nonlinear Control Method for a Mobile RobotD. Hazry, M. SugisakaThis study contributes to a new optimal parameter tuning in a predictive nonlinear control method for stable trajectory straight line tracking with a non-holonomic mobile robot. In this method, the focus lies in finding the optimal parameter estimation and to predict the path that the mobile robot will follow for stable trajectory straight line tracking system. The stability control contains … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,083 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordInternal Combustion Engines ForcesRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuThe paper presents an algorithm for determining the dynamic parameters of the internal combustion mechanism. Shows the force distribution (on the main engine mechanism) on internal combustion engines. Dynamically, tools can be distributed in the same way as forces. Practically, in dynamic regimes, speeds have the same synchronization with forces. The method applies separately for two distinct situations: When the … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 23 Jul 2019 · 6,267 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTime FactoryRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuHave you asked yourself how you will look over 15 years? At the Bosch factory in Jucu, we saw a time machine that can help you to travel for 15 years in the future. And the technologies used seem to have come from the reality of the next decades. This "time machine" is, in fact, part of Bosch's Engineering, Quality … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 27 Apr 2019 · 6,607 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordInverse Kinematics of a Stewart PlatformRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.The development and diversification of machines and mechanisms with applications in all fields require new scientific researches for the systematization and improvement of existing mechanical systems by creating new mechanisms adapted to modern requirements, which involve increasingly complex topological structures. The modern industry, the practice of designing and building machinery is increasingly based on the results of scientific and applied … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2018 · 14,790 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSerial, Anthropomorphic, Spatial, Mechatronic Systems can be Studied More Simply in a PlanRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.The mobile, mechatronic, robotic, serial, spatial, anthropomorphic type systems, which are currently the most used in the machine building industry, can be studied much more simply in a plan instead of the usual spatial study. This not only simplifies the understanding of these systems (including from a didactic point of view) but also facilitates computational methods, moving from matrix analytical … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 20 Dec 2017 · 6,441 accessesView PDFCite
