Taking the complex underwater environment of a cylindrical bridge pier as an example, the flow velocity and pressure distribution of the flow field near the bridge pier and the impact of the water flow when the robot is adsorbed on each surface of the bridge pier are obtained by using Fluent simulation. Secondly, the overall structure of the robot is proposed, in which the interplay of the wheel-foot structure combining the characteristics of wheel and foot and the freely rotatable adsorption structure is used to improve the robot's adaptability to the complex wall surface. Finally, the mechanical simulation and strength verification of the robot structure show that the structural performance of the designed robot meets the design requirements.","PeriodicalId":234590,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Service Robotics (ICoSR)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125615818","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}

In response to the above control requirements, this paper proposes a hybrid force/impedance control method for ultrasound robots based on three-dimensional modeling, which performs indirect force impedance control in the scan tangential direction of the ultrasound robot, and direct force control in the scan normal direction maintains stable contact forces between the ultrasound probe and human tissue, and introducing environmental three-dimensional point cloud information for scan normal position compensation. This improves the force control performance of the ultrasound robot in unknown environments. The tangential impedance control reduces the tangential contact force generated by the scanning motion of the robot and prevents the physical injury to the patient. The weighted minimum parametric number is also introduced into the hybrid force/impedance control to optimize the motion of the null space of the ultrasound robot and avoid the ultrasound robot from entering the joint limit in the contact interaction control.

So far, human have sent six rovers and a helicopter to Mars. However, the GNSS global navigation system is unavailable on Mars, and there is a communication delay of 7 to 45 minutes between the Earth and Mars, which poses a huge challenge to the autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance of the Mars robot. At the same time, the current exploration is carried out by a single robot, so the exploration range is limited. Multi-robot collaboration can improve the efficiency and robustness of planetary task execution. Multi-robot collaborative Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is conducive to enhancing the localization and mapping capabilities of robots. To achieve the goal, we propose an accurate and efficient Multi-robot collaborative stereo SLAM(MCS-SLAM). While ensuring that each robot works independently, MCS-SLAM collects the robot's localization and mapping results to the server through wireless communication, and completes the fusion optimization of multi-robot's localization and mapping data on the server. We generated six sets of image data, which were respectively captured by the stereo cameras carried by the simulated three rovers and three UAVs. Considering the limited CPU performance of Mars robot's computing device, we conducted experiments on Nvidia's edge computing equipment. The experimental results show that MCS-SLAM achieves real-time localization effects of 6fps and 10fps on Jeston TX2 and Jeston Xavier. Overall, when only stereo cameras are configured for collaborative work, the localization accuracy of the rover team and the UAV team reached 1.97m and 0.89m, respectively, and the average localization accuracy of 100 meters was 0.36m and 0.17m.","PeriodicalId":234590,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Service Robotics (ICoSR)","volume":"3 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132758423","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}

Then, taking the task execution time, orbit change energy consumption and spacecraft task efficiency as optimization objectives, the multi-objective satellite swarm task assignment problem is studied. Finally, simulation experiments are carried out for the capture scene under the conditions of coplanar and nonplanar orbits. Experiments show that the task assignment method can ensure that all sub satellites can effectively capture non-cooperative target at the same time, meet the adaptability of satellites with different task functions to the location, and optimize the overall energy consumption.
