Ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs) have intrinsic sensing capabilities. Like many other sensing materials, however, IPMC sensors demonstrate strong temperature-dependent behaviors. In this paper, we present the first systematic studies on temperature-dependent IPMC sensing dynamics. A cantilevered IPMC beam, soaked in a water bath with controlled temperature, is excited mechanically at its tip...
This work focuses on the observation of environmental phenomena that occur as spatial distributions in two and three dimensions, using sensor-enabled mobile vehicle (ground,air or undersea). Algorithms to guide an adaptive exploration of a given region through systematic choice of sampling locations under the constraints imposed by vehicles are presented. Variation sensitive multiresolution sample...
The purpose of this paper is motion analysis by experiment and simulation for riding bicycles with children. It is very important to think about stability when the bicycle is driving with children. However, such a research is not so performed. Therefore, analysing human motions in the such case by some experiments and simulations, dynamic characteristics of the such case are shown. The modeling of...
It might be necessary to develop the multi-joint robots that can work very dedicated movable like a kind of unmanned ground vehicles on very complicated and hazardous environments. These typed robots might be difficultly so controlled and developed that they should control plenty of servo-motors and also diverse hardware. It will be very hard to reuse the software source codes associated with these...
The Center of Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) is studying the use of the TETwalker mobile robot developed by NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center for polar seismic data acquisition. This paper discusses the design process for deploying seismic sensors within the 4-TETwalker mobile robot architecture. The 4-TETwalkerpsilas center payload node was chosen as the deployment medium. An alternative method...
