The subject of this paper is the analysis and control of a biped line walking robot for inspection of power transmission lines. The novel mechanism enables the center of the robot to concentrate on the hip joint to minimize the drive torque of the hip joint. The mechanical structure of the robot is discussed, as well as forward kinematics. A dynamic model is established in this paper. Locomotion of...
A mobile robot based on novel line-walking mechanism is proposed for inspecting power transmission lines. The novel mechanism enables the centroid of the robot to concentrate on the hip joint to minimize the drive torque of the hip joint and keep the robot stable when only on leg is hung on line. After reviewing of the line-walking mechanism, power line inspection robot is described in detail. The...
In this paper, a novel type of parallel robot with four degree of freedoms is presented and investigated, which expends the family of few DOFs parallel robots. The parallel robot has two rotation and two translation degree of freedoms. The aspects about its configuration and kinematics analysis are discussed firstly, and a comparison of its singularity, workspace and dexterity are discussed in details...
The subject of this paper is the design and analysis of a biped line walking robot for inspection of power transmission lines. The novel mechanism enables the centroid of the robot concentrate on the hip joint to minimize the drive torque of the hip joint. The line-walking cycle of the designed mechanism is composed of a single-support phase and a double-support phase. The mechanical structure of...
As the quality of life is rising constantly, the fitness industry has developed quickly, and the innovation and development of fitness equipment has been in high demand. In this paper, a new type of fitness bike is introduced. It is the so-called FDBFB (four-drive bionic fitness bike) which can be driven by either hands or legs, or any combination of any hand and leg as the user likes. By changing...

A mobile mechanism with biped configuration is proposed for power transmission line inspection purpose. The wire-walking cycle of the designed mechanism composed of single-support phase and double-support phase. During the process of single-support phase, one foot hang on line and the other foot swing from rear to front to overcome obstacles on line and realize wire-walking locomotion. The novel mechanism...
