The optimization of the pressure angle in a cam-follower transmission is reported in this paper. This transmission is based on Slide-o-Cam, a cam mechanism with multiple rollers mounted on a common translating follower. The design of Slide-o-Cam, a transmission intended to produce a sliding motion from a turning drive, or vice versa, was reported elsewhere. This transmission provides pure-rolli...

The aim of this paper is to depict the design of a two finger parallel gripper which implements a cam-follower type transmission. This transmission is based in Slide-O-Cam, a cam mechanism with multiple rollers mounted in a common follower whose purpose is to produce a sliding motion from a rotating drive or vice versa. This transmission provides pure-rolling motion, thereby minimizing friction...

This paper deals with the leader-follower formation control problem while communication constraint in data transmitting is considered. From a practical point of view, we study the case in which unmanned vehicles are subject to the limited sensing, and communication is of a particular interest. A three-dimensional formation flight of multi-unmanned aerial vehicles with leader-follower configurat...

Handling Editor: Stephanie Castro Weexamined follower relational identificationwith the leader as amediator and follower perceptions of leader creativity expectations as amoderator in the relationship between transformational leadership and follower creativity. Using a sample of 420 leader–follower dyads from an energy company in mainland China, we found that follower relational identification ...

In this article, the robust Stackelberg controllability (RSC) problem is studied for a nonlinear fourth-order parabolic equation, namely Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation. When three external sources are acting into system, RSC consists essentially in combining two subproblems: first one saddle point among sources. Such called “follower control” and its associated “disturbance signal.” This procedu...

The problem of computing optimal strategy to commit to in various games has attracted intense research interests and has important real-world applications such as security (attacker-defender) games. In this paper, we consider the problem of computing optimal leader’s machine to commit to in two-person repeated game, where the follower also plays a machine strategy. Machine strategy is the gener...
