Live working on power distribution lines is an effective way to improve the reliability of supply. The aerial lift device with insulated boom often used as a platform carry out live working, which difficult in mountainous areas, paddy fields, and other complex environments. At same time, requires highly skilled operators, lot personal security measures, not conducive application some developing...

Robotic compliant manipulation is a very challenging but urgent research spot in the domain of robotics. One difficulty lies lack unified representation for encoding and learning profiles. This article aims to introduce novel control framework address this problem: 1) we provide parametric that enables skill be encoded space allows robot learn skills based on motion force information collected ...

Although methods about building fish-like robots have attracted much research in recent years, new techniques are still required for developing superior robot fish. This paper presents a novel robot fish propelled by an active compliant propulsion mechanism. The key innovation is the combination of an active wire-driven mechanism with a soft compliant tail to accomplish subcarangiform swimming ...

Soft actuator is the main technology that drives development of soft robotics as it defines capabilities machines. One key challenges in research to simultaneously produce complex morphing (e.g., surface morphing) and high force. Therefore, a robotic pad (SRP) was developed new can potentially tackle this challenge. This article demonstrates highly flexible customization process SRP regarding f...

Abstract It has been researched that the surface structure of many organisms unique resistance reduction properties and it is important to replicate morphological features biological body on material surface. So, a method for creating biomimetic fish-scale using laser proposed by observing laminar arrangement three common fish scales surface, composite bionic scale macrostructure different micr...

Electromagnetic-actuated robotic systems have been studied recently for special purposes. Because these systems use external magnetic fields to control their robots, the robots can have simple structures and move with much freedom. In particular, these electromagnetic actuation (EMA) systems are being widely adopted for the actuation of biomedical mini-robots and microrobots for minimally invas...

In research on small mobile robots and biomimetic robots, locomotion ability remains a major issue despite many advances in technology. However, evolution has led to there being many real animals capable of excellent locomotion. This paper presents a “parasitic robot system” whereby locomotion abilities of an animal are applied to a robot task. We chose a turtle as our first host animal and des...
