Medical robotic applications are increasing in operation rooms. It is necessary to select, locate and program appropriate robots for medical operations. SolidWorks and CosmosMotion controlled by the modeling and motion simulation programs created in VisualBASIC in this study are used for this purpose. The designer prepares the model input file which contains the information about the selected units...
This paper addresses the design of passive robotically-reconfigurable truss structures and progress towards a robot capable of manipulating such structures. The elements are designed to be inserted and removed singly in ldquorandom access,rdquo thus eliminating some assembly order constraints and enabling a physical realization of the construction process. The proposed robot is a ldquohingerdquo robot...
This paper, written by students on the Rockwall High School (Texas) Robotics Team, describes how we developed a remote-controlled, ldquotalkingrdquo trash can robot for greater public exposure for our team and for greater practical experience in robotic construction and design. We were motivated by the FIRST (for inspiration and recognition of science and technology) emphasis on fostering enthusiasm...
Appropriate application of spatial coherence can speed up the collision detection of moving objects without sacrificing accuracy. This paper presents an automatic method applicable to convex polyhedral objects that can undergo both uniform scaling transformation and any type of relative motion for computing the range of motion for spatial coherence, i.e. that can keep the scaled contact features after...
