Robots in healthcare
Robert BogueThis paper aims to review of the use of robots in two healthcare applications: surgery and prosthetics.
Robotic applications continue to expand at the latest IMTS show
Richard BlossThe purpose of this paper is to review the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago with emphasis on new innovative robot applications on display.
Cy‐mag3D: a simple and miniature climbing robot with advance mobility in ferromagnetic environment
Frederic Rochat, Patrick Schoeneich, Barthelemy Lüthi, Hannes Bleuler, Roland Moser, Francesco MondadaThe purpose of this paper is to present a novel miniature magnetic climbing robot for industrial inspection. The robot has high mobility with low complexity.
ABLE: a standing style transfer system for a person with disabled lower limbs (improvement of stability when traveling)
Y. Mori, K. Maejima, K. Inoue, N. Shiroma, Y. FukuokaThe purpose of this paper is to describe a standing style transfer system, ABLE, designed to enable a person with disabled lower limbs to do daily‐life activities without special…
Development of omnidirectional vehicle on water (O‐VOW) using information of inclination of the vehicle
Naoyuki Takesue, Akira Imaeda, Hideo FujimotoA lot of unique transportation devices on the ground have been developed. On the other hand, on water, there are a few personal devices, which sometimes need paddling to get…
Development of fish‐like robot with elastic fin
Naoyuki Takesue, Youichi Hata, Tatsuhiko SekiyaUnderwater robots are one of the effective solutions for underwater exploration. Fish's swimming motion is more effective and efficient than propeller screw propulsion which is…
Neurobiologically‐based control system for an adaptively walking hexapod
William A. Lewinger, Roger D. QuinnBiological systems such as insects have often been used as a source of inspiration when developing walking robots. Insects' ability to nimbly navigate uneven terrain, and their…
Walking and crawling with ALoF: a robot for autonomous locomotion on four legs
C. David Remy, Oliver Baur, Martin Latta, Andi Lauber, Marco Hutter, Mark A. Hoepflinger, Cédric Pradalier, Roland SiegwartThe purpose of this paper is to introduce the robotic quadrupedal platform ALoF that is designed to aid research on perception in legged locomotion.
A fuzzy logic‐based formation controller for wheeled mobile robots
Mohammad Hadi Amoozgar, Khalil Alipour, Seyed Hossein SadatiThis paper seeks to present a novel approach for formation control of non‐holonomic wheeled mobile robots (WMRs). The use of a general geometrical structure has led the considered…
Epi.q‐TG: mobile robot for surveillance
Giuseppe Quaglia, Luca Bruzzone, Giorgio Bozzini, Riccardo Oderio, Roberto P. RazzoliThe purpose of this paper is to describe the development of a robot for surveillance able to move in structured and unstructured environments and able to overcome obstacles with…
A coaxial couple wheeled robot with T‐S fuzzy equilibrium control
Chaoquan Li, Xueshan Gao, Qiang Huang, Fuquan Dai, Jie Shao, Yang Bai, Kejie LiThe purpose of this paper is to introduce a high load capacity coaxial couple wheeled robot (CCWR) and investigate a simple structure but effective fuzzy equilibrium controller…
Ring on the hook: placing a ring on a moving and pendulating hook based on visual input
Anders Kjær‐Nielsen, Anders Glent Buch, Andreas Emil Kryger Jensen, Bent Møller, Dirk Kraft, Norbert Krüger, Henrik Gordon Petersen, Lars‐Peter EllekildeThe purpose of this paper is to describe a robot vision system which put rings on hooks that are moving freely on a conveyor belt. The hook can show a significant swinging which…
Path planning for mobile robot in a 2.5‐dimensional grid‐based map
Jiajun Gu, Qixin CaoTwo and one half‐dimensional (2.5D) grid maps are useful for navigation in outdoor environment or on non‐flat surface. However, little attention has been given to how to find an…
