This paper presents the design and analysis of an underactuated, cable driven mechanism for use in a modular robotic snake. The proposed mechanism is composed of a chain of rigid links that rotate on parallel revolute joints and are actuated by antagonistic cable pairs and a multi-radius pulley. This design aims to minimize the cross sectional area of cable actuated robotic snakes and eliminate undesirable nonlinearities in cable displacements. A distinctive feature of this underactuated mechanism is that it allows planar serpentine locomotion to be accomplished with only two modular units, improving the snake’s ability to conform to desired curvature profiles and minimizing the control complexity involved in snake locomotion. First, the detailed mechanism and cable routing scheme are presented, after which the kinematics and dynamics of the system are derived and a comparative analysis of cable routing schemes is performed, to assist with design synthesis and control. The moment of inertia of the mechanism is modeled, for future use in the implementation of three-dimensional modes of snake motion. Finally, a planar locomotion strategy for snake robots is devised, demonstrated in simulation, and compared with previous studies.

A three-dimensional motion simulation model of an open-loop kinematically constrained mechanical system is developed to simulate the motion response of a robotic arm to externally applied static loads. The general system consists of N rigid bodies connected together by (N-1) kinematic pairs. The class and type of kinematic pairs may be selected from a set of twelve physically realizable kinematic pairs. Six equations of force equilibrium are written for an ith body. A variational method is used to linearize these equations for incremental values of displacement and to incorporate the generalized parameters of the kinematic pairs and characteristics of the internal driving forces. Five applications of the proposed simulation model are discussed.

The machinery composition and working principle of 3-TPT parallel machine tool were analyzed. The three dimensional solid models of components of 3-TPT parallel machine tool were designed by using Pro/E. The virtual assembly and connection of the machine tool were accomplished in the assembly environment of Pro/E. Besides, the three-dimensional motion simulation of mechanism about the machine tool was researched in the mechanism module of Pro/E. The three-dimensional animation achieved by the simulation has the strong sense of reality. The working principle of the parallel machine tool was verified by the simulation. The simulation results show that the machine tool has advantages such as good stationarity, no interference and no singularity.

Double-column vehicle lift is a lifting equipment commonly used in auto repair and maintenance units, which is widely applied to the repair and maintenance of small vehicles such as cars. The design is a double-column vehicle lift driven by hydraulic. It mainly consists of lifting device, synchronous drive, column and bracket arm. The hydraulic circuit of hydraulic lifting device is designed. Currently, the articles concerning solidworks in the design of hydraulic drive lift only focus on unilateral appliance. When it comes to the design of the system, most of them concentrate on part modeling, virtual assembly, finite element analysis of parts ,etc, or a partial function of certain lifting machine. Seldom of them make a systematic research concerning motion stimulation. This paper, however, makes a three-dimensional virtual modeling for the lifting machine by the use of solidworks. In addition, it makes a structure verification of lift with assembly and motion simulation.
