Robotic aircraft land at the Unmanned Show in the Mile High City
Richard BlossThis paper aims to review the AUVSI Conference and show held in Denver, Colorado with emphasis on unmanned vehicles or service robots, their application on the ground, in the air…
High school student goes to class robotically
Richard BlossThis paper seeks to build awareness of how telepresence or service robots are coming to the aid of students who might not otherwise be able to attend school in person or others…
Development of a serpentine omnitread robot for searching in explosive gas atmospheres
Jie Zhao, Zhenfeng Han, Gangfeng LiuThere is explosive gas in many disaster environments. The conventional search and rescue robots are not allowed to work in these environments, since they may cause explosion. The…
Design and manufacturing of a tele‐operative rescue robot with a novel track arrangement
Nima Enayati, Farid NajafiThe paper aims to describe the design and manufacturing process of a tele‐operative urban search and rescue tracked robot and discuss the advantages of a proposed novel track…
Static and dynamic characteristics of rehabilitation joint powered by pneumatic muscles
Xianzhi Jiang, Caihua Xiong, Ronglei Sun, Xiaolin Huang, Youlun XiongThe purpose of this paper is to present the static and dynamic characteristics of the rehabilitation joint.
Blending algorithm for position control with a hybrid actuator made of DC servomotor and brake
Berk Gonenc, Hakan GurocakThis paper aims to present a hybrid actuator controller to obtain fast and stiff position response without any overshoot by blending input signals of a DC servomotor and a…
Three‐dimensional weld seam tracking for robotic welding by composite sensing technology
Shanchun Wei, Meng Kong, Tao Lin, Shanben ChenThis paper aims to develop a method to achieve automatic robotic welding and seam tracking so that three‐dimensional weld seam could be tracked without teaching and good welding…
Monocular odometry in country roads based on phase‐derived optical flow and 4‐DOF ego‐motion model
Cailing Wang, Chunxia Zhao, Jingyu YangPositioning is a key task in most field robotics applications but can be very challenging in GPS‐denied or high‐slip environments. The purpose of this paper is to describe a…
A new articulated leg for mobile robots
Antonio Gonzalez Rodriguez, Angel Gonzalez Rodriguez, Pierluigi ReaThe paper aims to present a new mechanical scheme for a leg to be included in legged vehicles that simplifies the control actuations along the stride.
Application of triune parallel‐serial robot system for full‐mission tank training
Ming Cong, Dong Liu, Yu Du, Haiying Wen, Yinghua WuThe purpose of this paper is to build a seven‐degrees of freedom (DOF) parallel‐serial robot system which has the advantage of mechanical novelty and simplicity compared with the…
