Toward Application of an Active Fence for Object Detection, Manipulation and Alignment on Conveyer Belt
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel approach for orienting an object on conveyer belt utilizing an Active Fence. The Active fence was implemented with low cost sensory system used for tracking the contact/collision force generated from interaction between the Active Fence and the object. A generalized mechanical model of the collision/contact event is developed and basic relations between impact signature and object properties are established. Also, the conditions in which manipulated object displays slip-stick (relaxation) motion during the process of the manipulation are investigated.

Passive Non-Prehensile Manipulation of a Specific Object on Predictable Helix Path Based on Mechanical Intelligence
Object manipulation techniques in robotics can be categorized in two major groups including manipulation with and without grasp. The aim of this paper is to develop an object manipulation method where in addition to being grasp-less, the manipulation task is done in a passive approach. In this method, linear and angular positions of the object are changed and its manipulation path is controlled...

Complex heat transfer phenomena (including unsteady state conduction, convection and solidification processes) occur in steel belt conveyer sulfur granulating method. Numerical simulation of this technique is performed via a comprehensive and multifaceted one dimensional model. Since the air situated between the adjacent sulfur pastilles is essentially stagnant, therefore, the surface tempe...
متن کاملDesign and optimization of solar-assisted conveyer-belt dryer for biomass
Biomass, as a renewable source of energy, can be used in many industries to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. However, due to the significantly high and varied moisture content of biomass, its use has several drawbacks, such as low total efficiency and process instability. Drying biomass before combustion or gasification can eliminate these drawbacks. Besides these benefits, there ar...
متن کاملThe motion of a pushed, sliding object : part 2 : contact friction
The physics of motion of a sliding object can be used to plan sensorless robot manipulation strategies based on sliding. Prediction of a sliding object's motion is difficult because the object's distribution of support on the surface, and the resulting frictional forces, are in general unknown. We describe a new approach to the analysis of sliding motion, which finds the set of object motions f...

This research focuses on proposing an optimal trajectory planning and control method of two link rigid-flexible manipulators (TLRFM) for Dynamic Object Manipulation (DOM) missions. For the first time, achievement of DOM task using a rotating one flexible link robot was taken into account in [20]. The authors do not aim to contribute on either trajectory tracking or vibration control of the End-...
