Control methods for exoskeleton rehabilitation robot driven with pneumatic muscles
Caihua Xiong, Xianzhi Jiang, Ronglei Sun, XiaoLin Huang, Youlun XiongThe purpose of this paper is to present the control methods of the exoskeleton robotic arm for stroke rehabilitation.
An integrated localization system for robots in underground environments
Caihua Xiong, Donggui Han, Youlun XiongThe purpose of this paper is to design an integrated localization system for mobile robots in underground environments for exploring and rescuing tasks after incidents and…
Design and fabrication of magnetic couplings in vacuum robots
Pinkuan Liu, Yulin Wang, Jun WuThe purpose of this paper is to discuss the design and fabrication of magnetic couplings to use for vacuum robots. The permanent magnetic coupling (PMC) is appropriate for torque…
Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis for camera calibration
LiMin Zhu, HongGen Luo, Xu ZhangThe purpose of this paper is to present a unified approach to uncertainty and sensitivity analysis for camera calibration.
Scout robot with wheeling‐hopping combination locomotion
Jie Zhao, Gangfeng Liu, Jihong Yan, Xizhe ZangThe purpose of this paper is to present a new scout robot that tries to combine the hopping movement and the wheeling movement to greatly enlarge the scope of robot's activities.
Clamping modelling: state‐of‐the‐art and future trends
Jürgen Leopold, Lu HongThe purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship between automated assembly and mass production environments such as the manufacture of cars, airplanes and white goods and…
Super under‐actuated multi‐fingered mechanical hand with modular self‐adaptive gear‐rack mechanism
Wenzeng Zhang, Demeng Che, Hongbin Liu, Xiande Ma, Qiang Chen, Dong Du, Zhenguo SunThe purpose of this paper is to present recent work designing a mechanical robotic hand for self‐adaptive grasping, human‐like appearance, which can be used in a humanoid robot…
Retinex theory‐based shadow detection and removal in single outdoor image
Jing Sun, Jiandong Tian, Yingkui Du, Yandong TangShadows, the common phenomena in most outdoor scenes, bring many problems in practical image processing. Shadow detection and removal, especial in uncalibrated outdoor image, is…
Inspection of welding pool height from shading in pulsed GTAW with wire filler
J.F. Wang, W.Y. Wang, S.B. ChenThe control of weld penetration in gas tungsten‐arc welding (GTAW) is required for fully automated systems to overcome variations in the welding process. The surface depression of…
Efficient weld seam detection for robotic welding based on local image processing
Fanhuai Shi, Tao Lin, Shanben ChenThe weld seam detection is required for a welding robot to preplan the weld seam track before the actual welding. The purpose of this paper is to investigate this subject in…
Vision‐based pipeline girth‐welding robot and image processing of weld seam
Hong Yue, Kai Li, Haiwen Zhao, Yi ZhangThe purpose of this paper is to introduce structured light image processing technology into pipeline welding automation projects, and develop a vision‐based pipeline girth‐welding…
