چکیده

This paper presents the design and implementation of a remote control system for a bio‐ inspired jumping robot. The system is composed of a server, a gateway, and a jumping robot. The proposed remote control system is used to monitor the posture of the jumping robot and control it in remote places. A three‐axis accelerometer is used to detect the tilts of the robot. A compass is used to sense the azimuth of the robot. The calibrations of the accelerometer and the compass are conducted. The sensor data of the robot can be sent to the server through a ZigBee wireless sensor network (WSN). An algorithm is designed to calculate the posture of the robot from the sensor data. The posture of the robot can be displayed on the human‐computer interface of the server using the virtual reality technology of OpenGL. The robots can be controlled by the operator through the interface. Two experiments have been done to verify the posture detection method and test the performance of the system.

Optimal Idle Speed Control of a Natural Aspirated Gasoline Engine Using Bio-inspired Meta- heuristic Algorithms

In order to lowering level of emissions of internal combustion engines (ICEs), they should be optimally controlled. However, ICEs operate under numerous operating conditions, which in turn makes it difficult to design controller for such nonlinear systems. In this article, a generalized unique controller for idle speed control under whole loading conditions is designed. In the current study, in...
