This paper presents a new magnetic wall-climbing car as a mobile sensor node for health monitoring and dynamic testing of large civil (ferromagnetic) structures. Unlike traditional design, where the distance between the front and rear wheel pairs is fixed, the electromagnetically driven compliant beam connecting the axles not only offers an effective means to negotiate corners when maneuvering on...
This paper presents a vision-guided navigation strategy based on edge detection. This controlled strategy is computationally simple and suitable for small mobile robots with limited onboard resources, such as a mobile sensor node for structural health monitoring. Traditional vision navigation relies on detecting and extracting features from structured environment or natural scene as references for...
Motivated by the interests to develop an agile, high-efficient robotic fish for underwater applications where safe environment for data-acquisition without disturbing the surrounding during exploration is of particular concern, this paper presents computational and experimental results of a biologically-inspired mechanical undulating-fin. The findings offer intuitive insights for optimizing the design...
