With the rapid increase of labor cost in domestic service industry, it provides a powerful driving force for rapid development of service robot. Vacuum cleaner Robot as a service robot, you can replace the people to clean rooms, workshops, walls and so on. In this paper, the structure and function of the robot's measurement and control system, the type and function of the selected sensor are introduced...
One type of robots that is interesting to develop is climbing robot. In order to create a robot that can move vertically, observation and data gathering on caterpillar's walking movement are needed. FEA simulation was conducted to attain stress distribution pattern of caterpillar's legs. A simulation was conducted to the climbing robot design to get the stress distribution pattern of each of its legs...
The increasingly aging population has inspired a great deal of research in the prevention of fall injuries. A pragmatic and accurate technique to predict fall incidence, along with a corresponding mobile phone app, is proposed in this paper. The technique aims to integrate the benefits of traditional medical history based paradigm and non-historical paradigm and overcome the disadvantage on both paradigms,...
Robotic gait training has been gathering much attention and has demonstrated potential to improve walking patterns for children with cerebral palsy. This paper proposes a novel pediatric robotic overground gait trainer (Pro-GaiT) based on a nonanthropomorphic linkage design and walking frame. The robot configuration is a 2 degree-of-freedom 5 bar linkage “end effector” and considers the human as part...
In order to replace the traditional manual cleaning rivers and lakes water hyacinth, garbage and so on, and then improve the clean-up efficiency, while addressing the labor force of large salvage, low security issues, a new amphibious cleaning robot is developed. The robot is mainly composed of solar automatic tracking system, amphibious amphibious system, rotary gather system, rotary collection system...
The number of stroke patients in Thailand has been increasing over 28,000 people annually. Most stroke patients have a problem on motion functional movement, resulting in serious disability and directly affecting to daily living ability. Rehabilitation for improving motion functional movements for post-stroke patients is therefore highly required. This paper subsequently presents a unique design of...
The ability of a robot to be able to change the shape is not something impossible to do. This research introduce such changeable shape robot named PodRacle, which has two basic forms; a form of a six-legged robot and a form of spherical robot. Combining the two basic forms, the PodRacle robot can result in increasing efficiency of a six-legged robot motion on a flat surface by means of rolling movement...
Assistive service and companion robots are versatileand dexterous actuators that operate in our daily livingenvironment. These robots are able to manipulate physicalobjects, to displace themselves and to engage in conversations. Human behavior is dynamic and oftentimes unpredictable, therefore it is crucial for such robotic systems to be assistedby a cloud-backend which: i) analyzes data from sensorand...
The size of the substation is constantly expanding with the development of electric power industry. The substation equipments which are long-term exposure to the outdoor affected by natural and industrial contamination are easily caused the flashover phenomenon. The substation equipment water washing robot with hot-line is used to water cleaning operations carried out on the post insulators in substation...
Mapping is the process to represent the environment into other forms such as a sketch map or the other. Process mapping provides the solution of the problem of how a robot can automatically recognize the environment and how robots can provide information such as maps representations of the environment around the robot. There are many choices of sensors that can be used, depends on method used. In...
The popularization of internet brought new opportunity to the development of agriculture informatization and put forward new requirements to the collection technology of agriculture information and its equipment. Considering the problems remained in current agriculture information collection technology and pattern, in order to obtain a more accurate and comprehensive information of the farmland environment...
Multi-legged robot is a redundant drive, multi-branched, time-varying topology motion machine. It utilizes a special foot moving mechanism which imitates multi-legged animals. Previous studies about such robots were usually built on the basis of pure mathematical models; the simplified models of the actual system were difficult to reflect the real situation of the robots. Thus its results can not...
In order to help students to master the knowledge and skills of robot-related design of mechanical structure, communication, MCU and C language programming, the experimental teaching platform of modular intelligent bipedal walking robot is designed. It is also aimed to solve the problem that conventional robot teaching equipment can only be carried out demonstration experiment. Firstly, the paper...
A novel leg-wheel robot, Transleg, is proposed in this paper. Differing from the existing leg-wheel robots, Transleg is driven by wire, so the transmission mechanism is simple and the weight is reduced. Transleg adopts a transformable leg-wheel mechanism which has two degrees of freedom in the legged mode and one degree of freedom in the wheeled mode. The motions in and switching between the two modes...
This paper studies a walking 2-DOF robot, which consists of a stance leg, swing leg and a hip mass. Due to the hybrid nature of the robot, a hybrid virtual holonomic constraint (hVHC) to be enforced is constructed. A sufficient condition to the stability of the constraint is proposed. For a desired gait trajectory, the paper presents a systematic procedure on designing a gait profile with per-defined...
The exoskeleton rehabilitation robot of the lower limb is a special robot. It is provided for the users to wear outside, whereby artificial intelligence and mechanical power device are combined to enhance the ability of limb movements. The rehabilitation robots of the lower limb at home and abroad are described in this paper, especially the history and development status of the exoskeleton rehabilitation...
This paper describes the initial design, control system development and preliminary testing of a robotic gait training device which aims to help teach and/or improve the gait patterns of children affected by cerebral palsy (CP). An H-frame, timing-belt driven, 2 degree-of-freedom stage has been designed and built to guide a child's leg through a gait pattern during over-ground training. The end-effector...
This paper explains about the development of communication system and strategy algorithms for humanoid robot soccer. Communication module is used to determine the state of the game and communication within a team. Strategy module gets information such as the condition of the field from perception module, position of the robot on the field from localization module, orientation from the compass, and...
A kind of intestine endoscopic robot of resonant ciliary structure is proposed in the paper. The robot is simple-structured, driven by piezoelectric bimorph, a structure of unilateral burr surface array is designed, resonant and the non symmetry friction between flexible leg and the contact surface is used to drive the structure move ahead. The motion principles of robot have been given theoretical...
The sensor and the information processing technologies are the basis for intelligent robots. At present, pressure sensor is widely used in the robotics.
