If the links which can be used as the components of a robot are organized in a manner of ""modularized units"" equipped with an actuator, a sensory device, and even a servo-mechanism, respectively, many kinds of robots can be easily constructed and their flexibility will be greatly improved. For this purpose, we developed a modularized link unit comprised of a DC servo motor, a position sensor, and a reduction gear set. This unit has a number of characteristics such as having large torque and small backlash, making the direction of the robot hand independent of its position, and so on. Using these units, we constructed a ""personal robot"" and developed its control system. In this paper, we introduce the composition and characteristics of our link unit, and illustrate the hardware and software system of a robot made from the modularized link units in this study.

This article aims to develop a hardware-software system for access control and management based on the hardware platforms Arduino Uno and Raspberry Pi. The developed software and hardware system is designed to collect data and store them in the database. The presented complex can be carried and used anywhere, which explains its high mobility.

The Royal Danish Navy frigate Peder Skram successfully passed her sea trials on March 15–19, 1966, and has been in operation for about nine months, with an accumulated gas turbine operation of 490 hr at the end of December 1966. The frigate has twin-screw CODOG propulsion machinery consisting of a 22,000-shp jet-engine-fed power turbine and a 2400-shp two-stroke diesel engine. These two alternative prime movers drive the propeller shafts with controllable-pitch propellers through a common reduction gear including freewheeling clutches. The control system is described, embracing the governor system, the maneuvering system, and the instrumentation and safety systems. Operational experience at sea, including parts of the trials, is described, as well as experience gained by the Royal Danish Navy, including the voyage made by the frigate to the United States in October–December 1966.

Conventional PID control system of Direct Current (DC) servo motor is only suitable for the system which Mathematical models can be precisely expressed [1] And it can’t meet the demand of the nonlinear and time-varying system. In the paper, a control system based on fussy-PID is proposed. The basic algorithm of the fussy-PID is introduced firstly. And then the design of the fussy-PID control system is introduced. The results of the experiments have shown that the fussy-PID control system improved the performance of the DC servo motor..
