This paper proposes the design and performance evaluation of a miniaturized continuous hopping robot RHop for unstructured terrain. The hopping mechanism of RHop is realized by an optimized geared symmetric closed-chain multi-bar mechanism that is transformed from the eight-bar mechanism, and the actuator of RHop is realized by a servo motor and the clockwork spring, thereby enabling RHop to realize continuous hopping while its motor rotates continuously only in one direction. Comparative simulations and experiments are conducted for RHop. The results show that RHop can realize better continuous hopping performance, as well as the improvement of energy conversion efficiency from 70.98% to 76.29% when the clockwork spring is applied in the actuator. In addition, comparisons with some state-of-the-art hopping robots are conducted, and the normalized results show that RHop has a better energy storage speed.

Stepper Motors

The basic principles of stepper motors are explained. Under certain circumstances it is shown that a stepper motor may be a better option than a servo motor. The three most common types of stepper motor are described and their important characteristics are illustrated and explained. Finally, the principles of stepper motor drives and the various types available are analysed.

A356 Aluminium Alloy

Semisolid forging process requires special movement of the ram, until now only achievable with hydraulic presses. The upper die, placed on the press ram, must move fast during forming of the component in order to reduce segregation phenomena, and, once the part is shaped, the die must squeeze the material so that the contraction of the material is overcome and no shrinkage defects are formed. Traditional mechanical presses are not able to reproduce this kind of cycles, only possible with hydraulic presses. The introduction of servo motors in mechanical presses makes possible the achievement of those requirements, and, therefore, the use of these presses for the semisolid forging processes. The main characteristic of this type of machines is the elimination of the flywheel and the clutch; in the solution proposed by the press builder Fagor, the AC servo motor drives the ram of the press by using a transmission based on gears and a crank. This paper presents some of the results achieved during the semisolid forging of A356 aluminium alloy using a 400 tons Fagor servo motor driven mechanical press installed at the University of Mondragon.
