Abstract: In this manuscript, a novel class of parallel manipulators for flexible manufacturing is described. A parallel manipulator that is part of this class is proposed and studied. The proposed manipulator possesses machine ...

Abstract: Dexterous hands are an important end-effector of robots, but their relatively low carrying capacity, small workspace and poor task adaptability are the key factors that restrict their wide application. To overcome these ...

Abstract: Two-wheeled self-balancing robot (TWSBR) is a mobile robot with a wide application in security, rescue, entertainment, and other fields. To make the robot obtain a larger range of the controllable inclination angle, a ...

Abstract: n this study, hydrological drought in the Yangtze River basin (YRB) is characterized based on Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) total water storage (TWS). An artificial neural network approach is applied to ...

Abstract: Reconfigurable robotic systems can enhance productivity and save costs in the ever growing flexible manufacturing regime. In this work, the idea to synthesize robotic mechanisms with dynamic properties that are reconfigurable ...

Abstract: During ultrasonic vibration honing (UVH), a thin hydrodynamic oil film formed can seriously affect the cavitation effect in the grinding fluid, but the mechanism is still unclear now. Based on the hydrodynamics theory, a ...

Abstract: Planetary gear trains (PGTs) are widely used in machinery to transmit angular velocity ratios or torque ratios. The graph theory has been proved to be an effective tool to synthesize and analyze PGTs. This paper aims to ...

Abstract: This article mainly starts with the characteristic of the road transportation modernization. In view of the static characteristic of the road transportation modernization the evaluation index system by using the AHP and ...

Abstract: Techniques based on temperature-sensitive paints (TSP) to measure time-resolved temperature and heat transfer distributions at the interface between a wall and fluid during pool and flow boiling are described. The paints ...
