Mobile robots that can survive in unstructured wildernesses is essential many applications such as environment detecting and security surveillance. In of these applications, it highly desirable the robot adapt robustly to both terrestrial aquatic environment, translocate swiftly between various environments. A novel concept amphibious spherical with fins proposed this paper, capable locomotion ...

Abstract Large pressure equipment needs to be tested regularly ensure safe operation; wall-climbing robots can carry the necessary tools inspect spherical tanks, such as cameras and non-destructive testing equipment. However, a robot inside tank cannot accurately positioned owing particularity of structure. This paper proposes passive support positioning mechanism fixed in improve adsorption ca...

gait rehabilitation using body weight support on a treadmill is a recommended rehabilitation technique for neurological injuries, such as spinal cord injury. in this paper, a new robotic orthosis is presented for treadmill training. in the presented design the criteria such as low inertia of robot components, backdrivability, high safety and degrees of freedom based on human walking are conside...

Solving the inverse kinematic-rate problem is an old and ever-present problem in robotics. Many methods of solution for this problem have been discussed over the past 30 years and, as computational speeds have improved, there has been greater expectation that this calculation will be performed online. This paper compares the merits of many of the methods already presented and describes a new ap...
