RAFI is a self-driven mapping robot with 16 Degrees-of-Freedom (DOF). Its software development, structural and electrical design and mechanical construction are presented in this paper. RAFI moves with wheels having differential type motion with 2DOF. The head has 3 DOF sufficient for volumetric mapping by rotating the head in different directions and both hands have 5 DOF to empower its grip a...

This paper focuses on the design of a 32 DOF andro humanoid robot using cascaded computational intelligence. The robot consists of hip, neck, Lip, shoulder, elbow, and wrist and finger joints. The robot secures itself from hacking and power problems. The intelligence of the robot is a combination of human intelligence, computational intelligence and sensor fusion unit data.

Dynamic performance is an important of robots used for machine processing. This paper studies the dynamic modeling and evaluation method a 5-DOF (Degree Freedom) hybrid robot in aerospace composite material With consideration dynamics serial part, complete model established based on virtual work principle. In addition to widely considered acceleration term, index that comprehensively considers ...

The ongoing trend from mass-produced to mass-customized products with batch sizes as small a single unit has highlighted the need for highly adaptable robotic systems lower downtime maintenance. To address these demands, this article proposes development of novel reconfigurable collaborative robot (cobot), which potential open up many new scenarios within rapidly emerging flexible manufacturing...

This paper focuses firstly, on the kinematics structure required for a humanoid service robot arm and secondly, on transferring human motion obtained from visual motion capture to the humanoid arm. The kinematics structure of a ten Degree of Freedom (DOF) humanoid arm which has a two DOF shoulder girdle and has a four DOF glenohumeral joint is presented. A method of obtaining the sternum positi...

Chattering is one of the most important factors affecting productivity robot machining. This paper investigates pose-dependent cutting stability a 5-DOF hybrid robot. By merging complete structural dynamics with force at TCP, an effective approach for analysis milling process proposed using full-discretization technique. The method enables computational efficiency to be significantly improved b...

This paper describes a new structure of a six-DOF parallel robot. First, a known planar three-DOF double-triangular structure is modified by replacing the stationary triangle with a circle. It increases the work envelope considerably especially when rotational motions are required. The ability for unlimited rotational motion allows extending the structure into six-DOF by using two sets of stati...
