The Spherical Wheeled Robot (Ball-Bot) is a family of robots that can maintain balance standing on a ball and use it as its wheel to move around. In recent years, there have been several successful Ball-Bot designs. We attempt to develop a new spherical wheeled robot product named "Q-Baller" to study its dynamics and control system. The Q-Baller has been designed to ahieve the economic and effective prototyping. A detailed dynamic model of the mechatronic system has been established and analyzed. Control studies have been conducted based on the dynamic models, and new control methods has been proposed to realize continuous gain scheduling. Exclusive simulations have been performed to test the performance of the controllers and reference planning. The Q-Baller hardware has been prototyped and functional. Robotic circuit board, human machine interface and embedded control system have also been developed to make up the full robotic system. The Q-Baller prototype will be tested after the system is fully adjusted, and further researches in control and robotics will be conducted in the future.

This chapter examines the established Systems Dynamics (SD) methods applied to software projects in order to simplify them. These methods are highly non-linear and contain large numbers of variables and built-in decisions. A SIMULINK version of an SD model is used here and conclusions are made with respect to the initial main controlling factors, compared to a NASA project. Control System methods are used to evaluate the critical features of the SD models. The eigenvalues of the linearised system indicate that the important factors are the hiring delay time, the assimilation time, and the employment time. This illustrates how the initial state of the system is at best neutrally stable with control only being achieved with complex non-linear decisions. The purpose is to compare the simplest SD and control models available required for “good” simulation of project behaviour with the Abdel-Hamid software project model. These models give clues to the decision structures that are necessary for good agreement with reality. The final simplified model, with five states, is a good match for the prime states of the Abdel-Hamid model, the NASA data, and compares favourably to the Ruiz model. The linear control system model has a much simpler structure, with the same limitations. Both the simple SD and control models are more suited to preliminary estimates of project performance.

Abstract This paper presents the analysis of the kinematics, dynamics and controls of tendon-driven mechanism under the framework of signal flow graphs. For decades, the signal flow graphs have been applied in many areas, particularly in controls, for determining the closed-loop transfer function of a control system. The tendon-driven mechanism considered here consists of several subsystems including actuator-controller dynamics, mechanism kinematics and mechanism dynamics. Each subsystem will be derived and represented by signal flow graphs. The representation of the whole system can be carried out by connecting the graphs of subsystems at the corresponding nodes. Transfer functions can then be obtained by using Mason’s rules. A 3-DOF robot finger utilizing tendon-driven mechanism is used as an illustrative example.

Dynamic effects of machining processing could not be ignored with the increasing speed of CNC machine tools, the analysis of kinematic behavior related to the kinematics, dynamics and control system etc, and there were a lot of coupling relationship of these systems. A simulation of single discipline could not reflect the overall performance with having to the simplification of the other discipline. It proposed a collaborative simulation modeling method based HLA for CNC machine tools. The development process of HLA-based simulation mainly involved system design, high level modeling, domain modeling, transformation of domain models, federal integration. Finally, this paper described an open architecture of collaborative simulation modeling with RTI, and developed the dynamics and control system models using Matlab and Adams software respectively. It provided theoretical support to solve coupling and interaction of the multi domain models of machine tools products in the design and development.
