The mechanical structure of stiffness regulation contains two opposite-handed torsion springs and two cam bearing followers (CFs). The operational principle is by changing the contact point of the torsion spring and the CF to regulate the stiffness. The proposed design allows for the improvement of an actuator with a wide range of stiffness and a low friction of transmission mechanism. Wire-rope drive is used to avoid the backlash in a rack and pinion transmission system and low-response in a ball screw drive system. Only one contact point for each CF to torsion spring exists to replace the sliding friction while moving in a sliding groove with the rolling friction. Small size, compact structure and modular design are considered preferentially for the application on multi-dof (degree of freedom) robotic system. Simulation experiment results are presented to demonstrate the wide range of stiffness, the fast response and the excellent tracking performance achieved by the proposed TSA.","PeriodicalId":260197,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130857773","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}

Through adjusting the trigger sequence of trigger angle and vector, the magnitude and direction of flux linkage are changed, stable motor rotating magnetic field is formed. By changing the voltage vector of the trigger interval, the motor air gap magnetic field average rotation speed can be changed, and the induction motor with the variable frequency control is realized. After the analysis of the four frequency dividing control process, a transient mathematical model of two-phase and three-phase to two-phase conduction is set up, the relationship between stator current and trigger angle is received. In the method of discrete frequency, the problem of open circuit zero voltage vector is proposed. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments show that when the discrete frequency control based on flux linkage locus is used in the motor starting, the torque is improved and the current is reduced effectively. According to the control method and the mathematical model, simulation and experiment are made and the consistent results are obtained.","PeriodicalId":260197,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130947976","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, weaknesses including hard modeling, poor expansibility and little flexibility still exist in current command and control behavior models. In this paper, a mission-based command and control behavior model is designed, which consists of a Compound Mission Module as well as a General Mission Management Module. The Compound Mission Module based on improved hierarchical task network (HTN) not only supports hierarchical mission structuring but further extends HTN's ability of describing temporal and logical relations among sub-missions. This module helps to improve the expansibility and flexibility of the behavior model to some extent. The General Mission Management Module provides uniform mission management method and compound mission inner controlling method for combat entities. It spares the effort of developers to design specific logics for mission management and thus makes them more concentrating on detailed lower level mission modeling. Experiment results show that this mission-based command and control behavior model not only reduces the difficulty of modeling but also improves its expansibility and flexibility.","PeriodicalId":260197,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131334193","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}

After the measurements, a single concentric motion was divided into four stages. Then, the motion data, foot pressure data, and sEMG signals of each of the four stages were analyzed. According to the results, Tester A pushed during stage I, was pushed during stage III, and alternated between being pushed and pushing during stages II and IV. In addition, the amount of pressure applied by the right foot increased during stages I and II and decreased during stages III and IV until minimizing and then rebounding slightly. In contrast, the amount of pressure applied by the left food exhibited the opposite trend.

Based on the elastic-damping method, the continuous contact force (CCF) model is widely used in explicating the contact-impact phenomena. As part of storing and releasing strain energy in the CCF model, the elastic force is equal to the static contact force (SCF) which reflects the purely elastic characteristic of contact objects. Nevertheless, the results calculated by the previous SCF models of revolute joint cannot agree well with the results of static contact experiments based on image method in this paper. An appropriate SCF model of revolute joint was built by the elastic half-space theory, which avoids determining the thickness of elastic layer of the Winkler theory or estimating the deformation of the revolute joint from the external contacting cylinders. Furthermore, the function of distance between contact points was built by the geometric constraint condition which supposes that the two arc lengths from the contacting point to initial contact point are equal. The results of experiment indicates that the proposed model can be used to describe the contact characteristics of a revolute joint exactly.","PeriodicalId":260197,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125349658","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 the development, the nonlinear flight dynamics is divided into the zeroth-order dynamics considering the major impact of gravity and drag force and the first-order dynamics compensating the remaining impact. To analytically solve the problem, an intermediate variable is innovatively introduced and some coefficients are fitted by Lagrange Polynomials. The simulation results show that the analytical ZEM expression has nearly the same high accuracy as the numerical integration, but the former has a much higher computation efficiency than the latter.
