Obstacle Avoiding

Motoman SV3X manipulator was used to pick fruit and chosen as research object. Under the instance of known space coordinates of fruit and space position and pose of erect obstacle, a kind of multi-joint angle computation and path planning method for Motoman SV3X was proposed. Firstly, several sets of joint angles were computed according to relative space position between fruit and erect obstacle. And then, one set of joint angle was chosen as terminal angle of path planning. Finally, algorithm was used to plan a obstacle-avoiding path from start angle to terminal angle. The method solved the computation problem of multi-joint angle, and has universality for the problem of avoiding erect obstacle for fruit-picking manipulator. Simulation tests under the environment of Matlab showed that solved joint angles of manipulator can both make Motoman SV3X avoid erect obstacle and end-effector reach preconcerted position with given position error, and validated the correctness of the path planning method.

In this paper, the joint angles of a two link planar manipulator are calculated by using inverse kinematics equations together with some geometric equalities. For a given position of the end-effector the joint angle and angular velocity of the links are derived. The analyses contains many equations which have to be solved. However, the solutions are rather cumbersome and complicated, therefore a program is written in Fortran 90 in order to do, the whole calculation and data collection. The results are given at the end of this paper.

Abstract This paper proposes a path planning method for grinding excess material after PDC bit repair using industrial robots. Firstly, a 3D scanning instrument is used to obtain point cloud data of the bit to be ground, secondly, this data are imported into Geomagic Studio for processing to obtain the triangular sheet file of the area to be ground. Finally, the software based on MATLAB is used to process the file and calculate the motion path of the robot end-effector. The generated path is imported into ROS for simulation. By comparing the generated path with the grinding area, it was verified that the generated path could be used in actual operation.

The evaluation of conformation traits is an important part of selection for breeding stallions and mares. Some of these judged conformation traits involve joint angles that are associated with performance, health, and longevity. To improve our understanding of the genetic background of joint angles in horses, we have objectively measured the angles of the poll, elbow, carpal, fetlock (front and hind), hip, stifle, and hock joints based on one photograph of each of the 300 Franches-Montagnes (FM) and 224 Lipizzan (LIP) horses. After quality control, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for these traits were performed on 495 horses, using 374,070 genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a mixed-effect model. We identified two significant quantitative trait loci (QTL) for the poll angle on ECA28 (p = 1.36 × 10−7), 50 kb downstream of the ALX1 gene, involved in cranial morphology, and for the elbow joint on ECA29 (p = 1.69 × 10−7), 49 kb downstream of the RSU1 gene, and 75 kb upstream of the PTER gene. Both genes are associated with bone mineral density in humans. Furthermore, we identified other suggestive QTL associated with the stifle joint on ECA8 (p = 3.10 × 10−7); the poll on ECA1 (p = 6.83 × 10−7); the fetlock joint of the hind limb on ECA27 (p = 5.42 × 10−7); and the carpal joint angle on ECA3 (p = 6.24 × 10−7), ECA4 (p = 6.07 × 10−7), and ECA7 (p = 8.83 × 10−7). The application of angular measurements in genetic studies may increase our understanding of the underlying genetic effects of important traits in equine breeding.

The Impact

The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) is an apparatus for testing the dynamic stress-strain response of the cement mortar specimen with pre-set joints at different angles to explore the influence of joint attitudes of underground rock engineering on the failure characteristics of rock mass structure. The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has also been used to measure the pore distribution and internal cracks of the specimen before and after the testing. In combination with numerical analysis, the paper systematically discusses the influence of joint angles on the failure mode of rock-like materials from three aspects of energy dissipation, microscopic damage, and stress field characteristics. The result indicates that the impact energy structure of the SHPB is greatly affected by the pre-set joint angle of the specimen. With the joint angle increasing, the proportion of reflected energy moves in fluctuation, while the ratio of transmitted energy to dissipated energy varies from one to the other. NMR analysis reveals the structural variation of the pores in those cement specimens before and after the impact. Crack propagation direction is correlated with pre-set joint angles of the specimens. With the increase of the pre-set joint angles, the crack initiation angle decreases gradually. When the joint angles are around 30°–75°, the specimens develop obvious cracks. The crushing process of the specimens is simulated by LS-DYNA software. It is concluded that the stresses at the crack initiation time are concentrated between 20 and 40 MPa. The instantaneous stress curve first increases and then decreases with crack propagation, peaking at different times under various joint angles; but most of them occur when the crack penetration ratio reaches 80–90%. With the increment of joint angles in specimens through the simulation software, the changing trend of peak stress is consistent with the test results.
