The hardware and program design is finished, which includes movement of manipulator, cameras jet cleaning with high-pressure spray gun, drying of cameras surface, ultrasonic obstacle avoidance, camera monitoring and image processing module. At last, the experiment and test for the cleaning robot prototype are carried out.

Ethyl propionate, C5H10O2 (m.p. 199 K), has been in-situ pressure-frozen and its structure determined at 1.34, 1.98 and 2.45 GPa. The crystal structure of the new high-pressure phase (denoted β) is different from phase α obtained by lowering the temperature. The freezing pressure of ethyl propionate at 296 K is 1.03 GPa. The molecule assumes an extended chain s-trans–trans–trans conformation, only slightly distorted from planarity. The closest intermolecular contacts in both phases are formed between carbonyl O and methyl H atoms; however, the ethyl-group H atoms in phase β form no contacts shorter than 2.58 Å. A considerable molecular volume difference of 24.2 Å3 between phases α and β can be rationalized in terms of degrees of freedom of molecules arranged into closely packed structures: the three degrees of freedom allowed for rearrangements of molecules confined to planar sheets in phase α, but are not sufficient for obtaining a densely packed pattern.

Ship transportation plays an increasingly important role in and accounts for a large proportion of cargo transport. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the quality of the trajectory control system of the ship for improving the transport efficiency and ensuring maritime safety. This paper deals with the advanced control system for the three-degrees-of-freedom model of the underactuated ship in the condition of uncertain disturbance. Based on the three-degrees-of-freedom model of the underactuated ship, the authors built a bilinear model of the ship by linearizing each nonlinear model section. Then, the authors used the state estimator to compensate for uncertain components and random disturbances in the model. Finally, the authors built the output-feedback predictive controller based on the channel-separation principle combined with direct observation of the continuous model for controlling the motion of the underactuated ship in the case of uncertain disturbance and the bound control signals. The result is that the movement quality of the underactuated ship is very good in the context of uncertain disturbance and bound control signals.

This paper discusses the application of image processing methods in the Coal preparation detection system. The system uses a light source to illuminate the coal and coal gangue, and then captures images with a CCD camera. After that, those images are sent to analyze in the image processing module. The control system sets the jet valve to exclude gangue. For the image processing, the sample images are performed with the help of Matlab, by using the module of preprocessing, image segmentation and feature selection. After analyzing the grayscale histogram of the coal and gangue, the distinction between coal and coal gangue gray threshold are obtained. Finally, the control system compares the gray value and threshold to distinguish coal and gangue, and then excludes gangue to the transportation crawler.

In this paper, the dynamics and control of an automated guided vehicle (AGV) is described. The objective is to control the vehicle direction and location with respect to a prescribed trajectory. This is accomplished based on an optimum control strategy using vehicle state variables. A four-wheel vehicle with three degrees of freedom including longitudinal, lateral and yaw motion is considered. The nonlinearity of the tire and steering mechanism is also included. The control system design for circular, straight forward and composite path is presented based on feedback linearization. Some trajectory simulation for discrete curvatures is carried out. The controller was implemented within MATLAB environment. The design was also evaluated using ADAMS full vehicle assembly. The results demonstrated the accuracy of the model and the effectiveness of the developed control system.

The existence of coupling makes the parallel mechanism possess some special advantages over the serial mechanism, while it is just the coupling that brings about the parallel mechanism some difficulties in kinematics and dynamic analysis, the development of control system, and the trajectory planning. Therefore the research on the decoupled parallel mechanism becomes one of the hot of the mechanism fields. While whether the parallel mechanism can realize decouple is the premise for synthesis and analysis of the parallel mechanism. Based on screw theory, the existence of the three degrees of freedom (3-DoF) rotational fully-decoupled parallel mechanism is distinguished. Then taking the 6-PUS/UPU parallel mechanism as example, the rotation angles of the moving platform are measured, which is verified the impossibility of the 3-DoF rotation decoupling. The contents of this paper should possess theoretical significance for the innovative configuration synthesis and structure design of rotational decoupled parallel mechanism.

Abstract In this paper, we report on the development of a neuro-fuzzy controller for magnetorheological dampers using an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System or ANFIS. Fuzzy logic based controllers are capable to deal with non-linear or uncertain systems, which make them particularly well suited for civil engineering applications. The main objective is to develop a semi-active control system with a MR damper to reduce the response of a three degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) building structure. The control system is designed using ANFIS to optimize the fuzzy inference rule of a simple fuzzy logic controller. The results show that the proposed semi-active neuro-fuzzy based controller is effective in reducing the response of structural system.

The development of a hybrid reconfigurable machine tool has been introduced. The machine tool consists of a tripod-based parallel kinematic machine (PKM) module with three degrees of freedom (DOF) and a serial linear table with two DOF. The PKM is installed on a gantry system which is capable of reconfiguring its position and orientation. In the design of tripod-based parallel mechanism, a passive link is used to enhance the stiffness and increase the working load. To avoid the buildup of the heat of the extensive actuation, three joints are actuated via the actuators with a constant length. The geometries of the PKM have been optimized for the best and highest accuracy. In this paper, its control system and the prototyping development are focused. An open architecture is applied, the control methodologies are developed and validated, and the corresponding software tools have been implemented for the software reconfiguration of the control system.
