Robot-Crawler: Statically Balanced Gaits

Dynamically balanced optimal gaits of a ditch-crossing biped robot

This paper deals with the generation of dynamically balanced gaits of a ditch-crossing biped robot having seven degrees of freedom (DOFs). Three different approaches, namely analytical, neural network (NN)based and fuzzy logic (FL)-based, have been developed to solve the said problem. The former deals with the analytical modeling of the ditch-crossing gait of a biped robot, whereas the latter t...

Statically balanced direct drive manipulator

A practical architecture, using a four-bar-linkage, is considered for the University of Minnesota direct drive rotot1. This statically-balanced direct drive robot has been constructed for stability analysis of the robot in constrained maneuvers.2-6 As a result of the elimination of the gravity forces (without any counter weights), smaller actuators and consequently smaller amplifiers were chose...

A practical architecture, using a four-bar-linkage, is cgnsidered for the University of Minnesota direct drive robot [8]. This staticallybalanced direct drive robot has been constructed for stability analysis of the robot in constrained manipulation [5 -7].

Development of Connected Crawler Robot

The Robot Crawler Number of a Graph

Information gathering by crawlers on the web is of practical interest. We consider a simplified model for crawling complex networks such as the web graph, which is a variation of the robot vacuum edge-cleaning process of Messinger and Nowakowski. In our model, a crawler visits nodes via a deterministic walk determined by their weightings which change during the process deterministically. The mi...
