In this article a new integrated learning platform for teaching mechatronic systems design is proposed. The platform is the result of several years of effort and experience in mechatronic education, undertaken by the department of Mechatronics and Machine Dynamics from Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. The platform aims to stimulate inter and transdisciplinary thinking of students in a collaborative...
This paper reports a development of an experimental robot for children. The work is one of the activities in our educational project with the undergraduate students. The experimental robot shows various mechanical phenomena and basic structure of robots to children. Through this development, students have learned design methods for mechanical systems, communication skills with different agers and...
A mobile robot prototype with independent propulsion and individual steering (4WD4WS)has been developed. The mission-oriented mobile robot has the adaptability of terrain, sensors and payload with the scope of 20 kilograms. Different prototypes with diversified wheelbase, wheel stance, clearance, stability margin and altitude of center of gravity can be achieved by reconfiguration. A wheel with high...
In this paper, the obstacle crossing capability of the previously designed cable climbing robot was analyzed. Static equations were established to analyze the relationships between the external forces and the maximum height of the obstacles. That several parameters affected the obstacle crossing ability of the robot was concluded. An innovated small volume, simple structure and light weight wheel-based...
Control of wheeled mobile robots (differential or steering wheel structure) has been studied extensively in the last decades, and many control strategies were proposed for various applications. This paper will present the solutions to two issues encountered in the implementation of the controllers: over corrections of the robot's heading direction and saturation of the control efforts. The solutions...
This paper presents the development of a mecatronic unit EOD/IEDD (explosive ordinance disposal/improvised explosive device disposal), by carrying out a modeling and simulation of a proposed PID control, this unit is applied to perform hazardous-duty operations. The mechatronic unit uses an interchangeable gripper, a robotic arm with 5 degrees of freedom Stanford type, a climbing system and 3 CCD...
