Scaling Laws in Robotics

چکیده
Scaling laws are pervasive in biological systems, found in a large number of life processes, and across 27 orders of magnitude. Recent findings show both biological and engineered motors adhering to two fundamental regimes for the mass scaling of maximum force output. This scaling law is of particular interest for the robotics field as it can affect the design stage of a robot. In this study we present data of motors commonly used in robotic applications and find an adherence to a similar power law of mass scaling of maximum torque output in two groups, group a, (Ga ∝ m1.00) and group b (Gb ∝ m1.27). Findings imply that there could exist an upper motor limit of maximum specific torque/force that should be taken under consideration in robot design. Additionally, we show how a robot’s minimum mass can be calculated with motor mass being the only necessary parameter. © Selection and peer-review under responsibility of FET11 conference organizers and published by Elsevier B.V.

With the analysis of the hierarchical scheme, the potential influence of the pre-constant in deriving scaling laws is exposed. It is found that a modified hierarchical scheme can achieve a throughput arbitrarily times higher than the original one, although it is still diminishingly small compared to the linear scaling. The study demonstrates the essential importance of the throughput formula it...

From the available literature, the allometric scaling laws generally exist in biology, ecology, etc. These scaling laws obey power law distributions. A possibly better approach to characterize the power law is to utilize fractional derivatives. In this paper, we establish a fractional differential equation model for this allometry by using the Caputo fractional derivatives.
متن کاملCross-over in Scaling Laws: A Simple Example from Micromagnetics
Scaling laws for characteristic length scales (in time or in the model parameters) are both experimentally robust and accessible for rigorous analysis. In multiscale situations cross–overs between different scaling laws are observed. We give a simple example from micromagnetics. In soft ferromagnetic films, the geometric character of a wall separating two magnetic domains depends on the film th...
متن کاملScaling Behavior in Soliton Models
In the framework of chiral soliton models we study the behavior of static nucleon properties under rescaling of the parameters describing the effective meson theory. In particular we investigate the question of whether the Brown–Rho scaling laws are general features of such models. When going beyond the simple Skyrme model we find that restrictive constraints need to be imposed on the mesonic p...
