Purpose This paper aims to present a soft closed-chain modular gripper for robotic pick-and-place applications. The proposed biomimetic gripper design is inspired by the Fin Ray effect, derived from fish fins physiology. It is composed of three axisymmetric fingers, actuated with a single actuator. Each finger has a modular under-actuated closed-chain structure. The finger structure is compliant in contact normal direction, with stiff crossbeams reorienting to help the finger structure conform around objects. Design/methodology/approach Starting with the design and development of the proposed gripper, a consequent mathematical representation consisting of closed-chain forward and inverse kinematics is detailed. The proposed mathematical framework is validated through the finite element modeling simulations. Additionally, a set of experiments was conducted to compare the simulated and prototype finger trajectories, as well as to assess qualitative grasping ability. Findings Key Findings are the presented mathematical model for closed-loop chain mechanisms, as well as design and optimization guidelines to develop controlled closed-chain grippers. Research limitations/implications The proposed methodology and mathematical model could be taken as a fundamental modular base block to explore similar distributed degrees of freedom (DOF) closed-chain manipulators and grippers. The enhanced kinematic model contributes to optimized dynamics and control of soft closed-chain grasping mechanisms. Practical implications The approach is aimed to improve the development of soft grippers that are required to grasp complex objects found in human–robot cooperation and collaborative robot (cobot) applications. Originality/value The proposed closed-chain mathematical framework is based on distributed DOFs instead of the conventional lumped joint approach. This is to better optimize and understand the kinematics of soft robotic mechanisms.


We have developed a generalized mathematical model for the autoignition of hydrocarbons under the conditions of high pressure and temperature achieved in a rapid-compression machine. The model is able to simulate the essential phenomena of the two-stage autoignition of alkanes under these conditions; these are a well-defined cool flame that is often quenched rapidly and completely before the onset of a sharp ignition. It also pre­dicts correctly the transition to single-stage autoignition at even higher temperatures and the variation with temperature of the characteristic induction periods. The model is based on a degenerate-branched-chain mechanism. We show that it must contain as necessary features two termination processes, one linear and the other quadratic in radial concen­tration, and two routes for the formation of branching agent, one of which involves intermediate products of oxidation. The model also predicts, without any adjustment of the kinetic parameters, the essential pheno­mena of cool-flame and ignition behaviour that are observed at low pressures.

The helicoids pushing chain mechanism is a novel telescopic mechanism used to push target from one position to another rapidly. The structure of the telescopic mechanism is developed and the basic design criteria are given. The position precision of the pushing chain influenced by various factors is very important to accomplish the task of pushing target. The mathematical model of position precision under the static condition is established in order to forecast the final effects and achieve some desired results by the machining. The influence of each factor is obtained through the numerical simulation. Furthermore, the bended deformation of the extended chain is calculated using the mechanics of materials method. According to the influences and the bended deformations, an error compensation method for a certain pushing distance is proposed so as to improve the position precision of chain head and achieve a satisfactory shape of the extended part. This research provides theoretical and methodological guidance for controlling machining errors and manufacturing of the pushing chain.

The need for light and flexible robots is greatly increasing in the industrial engineering environment. This paper presents the design and the implementation of a PID controller for a flexible planar manipulator. The controller synthesis and tuning is based on a very accurate dynamic model of the system and is applied to a significant test case, namely a five-bar closed-chain mechanism, driven by two electric motors. The chosen PID controller is described, and the experimental results are presented and discussed. The approach followed proves the practical usefulness of the dynamic model proposed even when applied to a complex test case.

In order to develop an efficient and fast position control for robotic manipulators, vibration phenomena have to be taken into account. Vibrations are mainly caused by the flexibility of manipulator linkages, especially when dealing with high-speed and lightweight robots. In this paper, a constrained model-based predictive control is employed for controlling both position and vibrations in a mechanism with high link flexibility. This kind of controller has so far been used mainly to control slow processes, but here simulation results that show its effectiveness in dealing with high-speed and nonlinear processes are presented. The mechanism chosen to evaluate the performances is a four-link closed chain mechanism laying on the horizontal plane and driven by a single torque-controlled electric motor.

The outbreak of the deadly coronavirus, which is increasing the number of victims every day, has created many changes in today’s world. The use of various masks is the most important social tool against this virus. Given the importance of rapid and quality supply of masks in the current situation, it is necessary to study supply chain in particular. In this research, the design of a closed chain supply chain network for different types of masks is assessed. The studied supply chain includes suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers in the forward flow and collection centers, separate centers, recycling centers, and disposal centers in the backward flow. In this regard, a multi-objective mathematical model with the objectives of increasing the total profit and reducing the total environmental impact, and maximizing social responsibility is presented. The optimization of this mathematical model has been done using a fuzzy optimization approach in GAMS software. The results of this study show that maximizing the total profit and minimizing the environmental effects and maximizing social responsibility are in contrast to each other. In addition, the sensitivity analysis indicated that the customers’ demand can affect all aspects of the sustainable supply chain simultaneously.
