Many commercial devices have been developed to precisely measure cutting forces; however, they are expensive and some installation limitations could limit their applicability in real applications. The cutting force should be measured using a simple, compact, and low cost technique. The present work covers the design and construction of a tool holder sensor to measure the cutting force generated by a CNC turning machine during a turning process. Strain gauges are attached directly inside the tool holder sensor, one on each side of the rectangular shank, to measure strain and estimate the cutting force. Several machining tests performed on a CNC turning machine showed that the proposed tool holder sensor design successfully and precisely measures cutting forces with different turning conditions.","PeriodicalId":199432,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128502115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This information is then used to configure the controller as well as to estimate the delays at the coming step to optimize the sampling period by using an adaptive grey model (AGM). Secondly, the hybrid robust controller based on quantitative feedback theory (QFT) and robust state feedback theory (RSF) to compensate the bad effects of both the imperfect network and the disturbances on the system performance and consequently, ensure the stable tracking performance.

The forearm skeleton of the present digital human is comprised of 1 link, therefor we cannot estimate the movement of the forearm bone exactly. As the pro-/supination model of the forearm skeleton, there are the models Fick and others and Kecskemethy and others proposed.

In this paper, a multilayer matching based incremental mapping algorithm is designed to keep map accuracy and consistency in large scale and spacious environments and a localizability-based particle filter localization algorithm is utilized to maintain localization accuracy in dynamic environments.

The ankle joint plays a major role in balancing the whole body and thus needs to limit its joint angle in case of weakened posture stability. The knee joint can make the upper body move backward when the robot begins to tilt forward, and the hip joint is to correct upper body angle on the verge of falling back. The proposed angular adjustment rule of the three leg joints is based on the desired stable region assigned inside support foot area. Specifically, the difference angles for the knee and hip joints are calculated based on the kinematic model of a humanoid robot according to distance of the current ZMP from a boundary of desired region. The proposed approach is validated through walking experiment with a commercial humanoid robot platform Robotis-OP.","PeriodicalId":199432,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121976356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, thin objects (e.g. mobile phone covers, shielding of IC chips) cannot be handled by traditional gripper fingers, since deformation may be caused. To solve this problem, a low-cost underactuated finger with a special four-bar linkage and a flexible joint is proposed in this paper. The special four-bar linkage is designed to obtain the desirable motion trail of the fingertip which is a quasi-horizontal line, while the flexible joints reduce the impact force and achieve compliant force control. In this paper, the design methodology of the four-bar linkage and the flexible joint is introduced, while the kinematic performance is analyzed. An experiment was conducted to verify the design and analysis. Results show that the proposed two DOFs underactuated finger can be applied on a robotic gripper to pinch or position thin objects.
