摘要：蚯蚓在狭窄受限环境中具有良好的移动性,但其在运动过程中与地面的三轴反作用力还未被深入研究.本文探讨了蚯蚓在直线运动过程中的三轴地反力特征及其对机器人建模的影响.具体地,本研究设计了一个基于应变片的三轴微型测力板来测量蚯蚓(***)在直线运动时的三轴地反力.通过建立地反力的时间历程与运动视频的对应关系,将蚯蚓的周期性运动划分为三个阶段,并从蚯蚓身体变形的角度解析了地反力在三个阶段的力学特征.本研究还对蚯蚓的地反力特征进行了统计分析,并建立了蚯蚓直线运动过程的阻力系数模型.以此为基础,本文还提出了与机器人节段/单元变形相关的阻力系数模型,为离散型和连续型仿蚯蚓机器人的动力学建模提供基础.本研究首次对蚯蚓运动过程中的mN级三轴地反力进行了测量、分析和建模,研究结果对蚯蚓运动生物力学、仿蚯蚓移动机器人设计和机器人-环境接触界面调控等具有重要的指导意义.

摘要：The present work focused on the application of innovative damping technologies in order to improve railway vehicle performances in terms of dynamic stability and comfort. As a benchmark case-study, the secondary sus- pension stage was selected and different control techniques were investigated, such as skyhook, dynamic compensation, and sliding mode control. The final aim was to investigate which control schemes are suitable for optimal exploitation of the non-linear behavior of the actuators. The performance improvement achieved by adoption of the semi-active dampers on a standard high-speed train was evaluated in terms of passenger comfort. Different control strategies have been investigated by comparing a simple SISO （single input single output） regulator based on the skyhook damper ap- proach with a centralized regulator. The centralized regulator allows for the estimation of a near optimal set of control forces that minimize car-body accelerations with respect to constraints imposed by limited performance of semi-active actuators. Simulation results show that best results is obtained using a mixed approach that considers the simultaneous applications of model based and feedback compensation control terms.

摘要：A screw drive in-pipe robot is promising inspection equipment for small pipes. However, most of the existing screw drive in-pipe robots have problems of motion interference and slipping inside curved or irregular pipes. These problems result from the coupled relations among the steering motion, the motion speed and the load ability of the robot. In order to deal with the problems, the axiomatic design(AD) theory is applied to evaluate and analyze the existing designs. Then an uncoupled concept design based on the AD theory is proposed and the complete AD decomposition process is presented. After that, the proposed robot based on a tri-axial differential angle modulation mechanism is designed to realize the uncoupled concept. Finally, the uncoupled property is verified in a dynamics simulation system. The simulation results indicate that the motion speed, load ability and steering motion of the proposed robot can be adjusted individually compared with the robots that have inclining-angle-fixed rollers. Owing to the uncoupled design, the proposed robot can mechanically adapt to straight pipes and curved pipes with less roller slipping.

摘要：A macro-micro dual-drive positioning system showing good potential for high acceleration and high precision positioning required in IC packaging applications is devised in this paper. The dual-drive positioning stage uses a VCM (voice coil motor) driven macro positioning stage and a PZT piezo-electric driven micro positioning stage. The coupling characteristics of the system are analyzed to produce a control structure with a micro positioning stage that can dynamically compensate for the positioning error produced by the macro positioning stage. Models of the two positioning stages are described. The models cover both the mechanism and the actuator. For the macro positioning stage, friction characteristics are taken into account, and a controller with an LQG (linear-quadratic-Gaussian) control algorithm combining a feed-forward compensation algorithm is derived. A PID controller is used to control the micro positioning stage. Detailed designs are derived for the proposed approach, and the performance is validated by simulation.
