The planar locomotion of this system with two internal masses, driven by three-phase motion, under viscous and anisotropic friction is studied in this paper. When the period ratio of the two moving internal masses is equal to 1, the trajectory of the system is a circle. The analytical solutions of steady-state linear velocity and angular velocity of circular motion are obtained by using the averaging method. When the period ratio is not equal to 1, the trajectory of the system is a linear. The influence of relative acceleration and the period ratio of the two moving internal masses on the planar motion of the system is analyzed by using the Velocity-Verlet integration method, which is verified by the Runge-Kutta method. The planar locomotion of the system can be obtained. It follows from the above analysis results that the six types of the switching trajectory can arise by controlling the driven parameters. Finally, integrating the different switching trajectories, one can obtain any continuous-curvature paths, which has important application value for the trajectory planning of the mobile robot.","PeriodicalId":246050,"journal":{"name":"2021 WRC Symposium on Advanced Robotics and Automation (WRC SARA)","volume":"127 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120879370","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}

An improved registration method based on feature point clouds was proposed. First, the Harris-3D algorithm was used to extract the feature point cloud of the three-dimensional model of the knee joint. Optical tracking system (OTS) was used to collect the point cloud of the corresponding area of the sawbone. Then, the Sample Consensus Initial Alignment (SAC-IA) algorithm was used to perform coarse registration on two point clouds. The ICP algorithm was used to make the registration matrix converge to an optimal solution. The k-d tree was used to find neighboring points to accelerate the iterative process. Finally, the simulation of the registration method was taken to prove the feasibility of the method. The accuracy of the knee joint surgery navigation registration experiment was carried out with the knee joint femur model as the object. Result shows that the error of the proposed registration algorithm is 2.12mm, while the error of the ICP algorithm is 6.30mm, which verifies the effectiveness of this method.","PeriodicalId":246050,"journal":{"name":"2021 WRC Symposium on Advanced Robotics and Automation (WRC SARA)","volume":"218 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121471823","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 this paper, the remote-operated underwater vehicle system named WL-I is introduced, which can complete the inspection of the adhesion of marine creatures on the ship hull and clean them off. The WL-I has two operation modes: free-flying in the water and crawling on the ship hull. In the second mode, the adherence to the ship hull is guaranteed by applying a force normal to the hull surface from the vertical thrusters, and the forward driving force is provided by the horizontal thrusters at the rear for its locomotion on the hull surface.","PeriodicalId":246050,"journal":{"name":"2021 WRC Symposium on Advanced Robotics and Automation (WRC SARA)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116856985","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}

To achieve this control, a four-electromagnetic coil control system with visual feedback is designed and built. The system generates a high-gradient magnetic field and achieves three-dimensional control of the FDR through visual feedback with an accuracy of no more than 0.3 mm.

Inverse dynamics-based control has been applied widely in rigid manipulators. However, the natural undamped behavior of FLM's internal dynamics hinders the direct use of inverse dynamics-based control. In this paper, an inverse dynamics-based control with parameter adaptation has been proposed, which is designed according to a redefined dynamic model with uncertainties for achieving good tip-tracking with good vibration attenuation as well. The proposed controller consists of model compensation based on inverse dynamics, feedback control, and internal control. The stability of the closed-loop system has been proved through Lyapunov theory.
