This paper proposes an analytic method based on finite-element method (FEM) for the rolling gaits of tensegrity robots. By analyzing forces during the rolling motions, the following problems can be solved. First, the relation between the actuator combinations (AC) and the rolling directions is discovered for controlling the rolling motions. Second, the influence of the driving parameters on the deformations...
Bladder cancer (BC) is a global fatal malignancy, which results in 114,000 deaths in 1990 and even 170,000 deaths in 2010 [1]. Therefore, the identification of BC-related genes is in emergency need for analyzing BC more comprehensively. In this study, we propose a heterogeneous network-based propagation algorithm using multi-dimensional data to score and rank the candidate BC-related genes. The novelty...
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...
The work in the complicated environment requires the robot to possess the better mobility, which is the basis that the robot can complete the task successfully and ensure itself security. To improve the adaptability in the unstructured environments, the aim is the mobility of a special d-configuration of AMOEBA-I, and the cooperative turning and cooperative negotiation of the d-configuration is presented...
