In the applications of parallel robots, kinematic calibration is required to eliminate the errors resulting from the manufacturing and assembly. In this paper, a new method for calibrating a parallel robot is proposed. An error model for kinematic calibration is constructed using differential geometry method. All leg length information and pose error are obtained based on measurement results co...

In order to study the mechanism of tail swing bionic dolphin, a flexible experimental device based on steering engine was developed. This focused common three joint gear and its use in dolphin mechanism, it found that driven by had problem excessive stiffness. solve this problem, we designed mechanism. The rationally through combination drive two spines. Analysis kinematic dynamic modeling furt...

Wave propagation in a photosensitive, subexcitable Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium is made possible by periodic modulation of a homogeneous illumination field. The propagation can be understood in terms of an interplay between the radial expansion of the wave and the motion of its free ends as the excitability varies periodically. This description leads to a simple kinematic analysis that provides ...

A general kinematic wave model for flood propagation is presented in the form of a scalar conservation law. The corresponding flux function is convex or nearly convex for regular cross-sections of the river. In the presence of pronounced irregularities, however, convexity may fail. Qualitative consequences of the shape of the flux function for typical irregularities are discussed, particularly ...
