Modeling and Simulation of Perching With a Quadrotor Aerial Robot With Passive Bio-inspired Legs and Feet
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Perching in unmanned aerial vehicles is appealing for reconnaissance, monitoring, communications, and charging. This paper focuses on modeling, simulation, and control of bioinspired perching in unmanned aerial vehicles ...
Oscillations of Air Cavity Under Hull of Accelerating Boat
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Substantial reduction of ship drag is achievable with air cavities arranged on the hull bottom. However, the air cavities can become unstable, particularly in unsteady environments such as sea waves. Oscillations of cavities ...
Convolutional Networks for Classification of Mortars
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The task of classifying unexploded mortars is critical in both humanitarian and military explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) operations. Classification needs to be completed quickly and accurately and is the first step toward ...
Equations of Motion of Dynamical Systems From Kinematic Characteristics of the Phase Space
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the analysis of most engineering dynamical systems, relativistic considerations are unnecessary, allowing an absolute time and simultaneity of events to be assumed. In this article, it is first established that this ...
Slip-Clutch Torque Estimation via Real-Time Adaptive Lookup Table
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Transfer case clutch is crucial in determining traction torque distribution between front and rear tires for four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicles. Estimating time-varying clutch surface friction coefficient is critical for ...
Hierarchical Robust Adaptive Control for Wind Turbines With Actuator Fault
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article solves the problem of regulating the rotor speed tracking error for wind turbines in the full-load region by an effective robust adaptive control strategy. The developed controller compensates for the uncertainty ...
Application of Mobile Robots to Linear Control Theory Education
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The knowledge of control engineering for mechanical engineers seems to become more important with the continuous development of automated technologies. To cultivate this knowledge, many experimental devices have been ...
Fisher Identifiability Analysis of Longitudinal Vehicle Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article investigates the theoretical Cramér-Rao bounds on estimation accuracy of longitudinal vehicle dynamics parameters. This analysis is motivated by the value of parameter estimation in various applications, ...
Data-Oriented State Space Discretization for Crowdsourced Robot Learning of Physical Skills
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work discusses a crowdsourced learning scheme for robot physical intelligence. Using a large amount of data from crowdsourced mentors, the scheme allows robots to synthesize new physical skills that are never demonstrated ...
Multi-Model Structured H-Infinity Design of a Robust and Aggressive Turbofan Jet Engine Controller
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Jet engine control comprises tracking either the fan speed or engine pressure ratio setpoints. Further, safe operation entails maintaining several additional parameters, such as high-pressure turbine temperature, combustor ...
