The interaction between the snake-like robot and environment produces serpentine action to push the body forward. A slender body shape made from many modules occupies a larger scale. In this paper, snake-like robot motion planning method is analyzed by considering each module's position and its movement as well as position of obstacles. The Potential Energy Function between each module and obstacles...
Reducing the head-media spacing is of crucial importance in enabling future high density magnetic recording. Fly and lubricant contact interface, or surfing recording, is one of the possible interface solutions for 5 ~ 10 Tb/in2 of magnetic recording. One major challenge for surfing interface schemes is how to sustain the dynamic stability of the head disk interface (HDI). This paper explores the...
Fly and lubricant contact, or surfing recording, is one of interface solutions for 5~10 Tb/in2 of magnetic recording. One of major challenges for surfing schemes comes from how to sustain the dynamic stability of the head disk interface (HDI). This paper explores the mechanism of slider's dynamic stability in surfing on the lubricant by means of an analytical model including air bearings, surface...
This paper introduces a novel distributed algorithm for deploying multi-robot systems, consisting of mobile robots with limited onboard sensing and wireless communication ranges, to approach the desired sensory coverage over targeted environments while maintaining communication connections. A virtual potential energy is defined for each mobile robot according to the difference between the actual and...
