Large-Scale Actuator Networks (LSAN) are a rapidly growing class of electromechanical systems. A prime application of LSANs in the industrial sector is distributed manipulation. LSAN’s are typically implemented using: vibrating plates, air jets, and mobile multi-robot teams. This paper investigates a surface capable of morphing its shape using an array of linear actuators to impose two dimensio...

When electronic excitation transfer occurs, it is of considerable interest to establish whether angular momentum can also be conveyed in the process. The question is prompted by a consideration that when the participating chromophores are atoms, ions, or molecular systems having high local symmetry, the electronic excited states that are involved are generally characterized not only by energy, ...

The inner-surface damage of water conveyance tunnels is the main hidden danger that threatens their safety and leads to serious accidents. method based on principle acoustic reflection means inspecting water-conveyance tunnels. However, affected by tunnel environment equipment noise, obtained point cloud model inevitably suffers from which can produce erroneous results. Therefore, we proposed a...

Abstract Human symbiotic mobile robots are required to smoothly reach destinations while avoiding humans. Human-intent information, e.g., a moving direction, must be carefully estimated since its lack leads the hesitation and repetitious avoidance. Conventional studies address human intent estimation conveyance but do not consider cases of failing communication as systematic framework, even tho...

OBJECTIVES The UK ambulance service is expected to now manage more patients in the community and avoid unnecessary transportations to hospital emergency departments (ED). Most people it attends who have experienced seizures have established epilepsy, have experienced uncomplicated seizures and so do not require the full facilities of an ED. Despite this, most are transported there. To understan...

The behavior of rope-guided conveyances is so complicated that the rope-guided hoisting system hasn't been understood thoroughly so far. In this paper, with user-defined functions loaded, ANSYS FLUENT 14.5 was employed to simulate lateral motion of rope-guided conveyances in two typical kinds of shaft layouts. With rope-guided mine elevator and mine cages taken into account, results show that t...
