Abstract: Due to the development of high speed machinery, robots, and aerospace structures, the research of flexible body systems undergoing both gross motion and elastic deformation has seen increasing ...

Abstract: Taking advantage of a piezoelectric material to fabricate miniature mobile robots, this study presents a similarity method, fabrication process, and walking experiment method. A curved piezoelectric ...

Abstract: In order to make a robot precisely track desired periodic trajectories, this work proposes a sliding mode based repetitive learning control method, which incorporates characteristics of sliding ...

Abstract: This paper presents a graph theory-based approach to optimum type synthesis of vehicle suspension mechanisms using an expert system. Kinematic chain isomorphism is identified, using an extended ...
