Artificial Potential Filed (APF) is the most well-known method that is used in mobile robot path planning, however, the shortcoming is that the local minima. To overcome this issue, we present a deadlock free APF based path planning algorithm for mobile robot navigation. The Proposed-APF (P-APF) algorithm searches the goal point in unknown 2D environments. This method is capable of escaping from deadlock...
Robots and robotics technologies are expected as new tools for inspection and manipulation. The dynamics of robot always are changed by environment and robot of state in mission. Therefore, an adaptation system, which is able to switch controller due to environment and robot of state, is needed. Meanwhile, animals are able to go through several environments and adapt several own states. The adaptation...
Antagonistic mechanisms attract attentions as joint actuators of linkage mechanisms, which control output torque, joint stiffness and position simultaneously. As the actuators or components of antagonistic driven joints, special devices with nonlinear elasticity property such as pneumatic actuators, nonlinear springs are often utilized to satisfy the requirements of antagonistic mechanisms. However,...
