in this paper, a theoretical approach is proposed, in which spatial distribution of the strength of interplate coupling between two faces of strike-slip faults is investigated in detail through the inverse analysis of synthesized geodetic data. synthesized (or available) geodetic data representing free surface movements is implemented to determine the solution of undertaken inverse problem that...

Internal cognitive models are useful methods for the implementation of motor control [1]. The approach can be applied more generally to any intelligent adaptive control problem where the dynamics of the system (plant) is unknown and/or changing. In particular, paired inverse-forward models have been shown successfully to control complex motor tasks using robotic manipulators [1]. One way this i...

Commonly, the inverse kinematic function of robotic manipulators is derived analytically from the robot model. However, there are cases in which a model is not a priori available. In this paper, we propose an approach that enables an autonomous robot to estimate the inverse kinematic function on-the-fly directly from self-observation and without a given kinematic model. The robot executes rando...

A large-scale combined legged and wheeled vehicle with anthropomorphic legs is presented. This concept combines the advantages of a walking machine with the stability of a wheeled vehicle. The leg utilises a spherical hip joint, a revolute knee joint and a passively pivoting foot. Due to the size of the system linear hydraulic actuators are used, and thus kinematic loops are created in the mech...

Industrial high-speed laser operations the use of delta parallel robots potentially offers many benefits, due to their structural stiffness and limited moving masses. This paper deals with a particular Delta, developed for high-speed laser cutting. Parallel delta robot has numerous advantages in comparison with serial robots: Higher stiffness, and connected with that a lower mass of links, the ...

Although the current 3-PRS parallel manipulators have different methods on the arrangement of actuators, they may be considered as the same kind of mechanism since they can be treated with the same kinematic algorithm. A 3-PRS parallel manipulator with adjustable layout angle of actuators has been proposed in this paper. The key issues of how the kinematic characteristics in terms of workspace ...

This paper presents a new generalized approach to the singularity analysis of a general mechanism (arbitrary kinematic chain), considered as a non-redundant inputoutput device with equal number of inputs and outputs. The instantaneous kinematics of a mechanism is described by means of a velocity equation, explicitly including not only the input and output velocities but also the passive-joint v...

Placement of robotics manipulators involves the specification of the position and orientation of the base with respect to a predefined work environment. A general approach to the placement of manipulators based on the kinematic dexterity of mechanisms is presented. In many robotic implementations, it is necessary to carefully plan the layout of the workplace, whether on the manufacturing floor ...
