A vibratory energy-recovery hydraulic damping system is introduced which can recycle some vibratory energy and reduce oil consumption. Pressurized oil from the system can be used for braking system, power-assisted steering, hydraulic clutch operating mechanism and so on. An inflatable list tube shock absorber is designed which can recycle vibratory energy. It’s structure and operating principle are introduced. At last, Research is made on structure and operating principle of new vibratory energy power-assisted automobile hydraulic steering system. The vibratory energy-recovery hydraulic damping system had reported the national invention patent (CN102152778A), the vibratory energy power-assisted automobile hydraulic steering system also had reported the national practical new patent (ZL 2011 2 0101078.4).

In this chapter, the design and prototyping of a lunar excavator robotic system is proposed. The lunabotic excavator was developed for participating in 2010 NASA Lunar Excavating Competition. Being remotely controlled by operator using a computer via Wi-Fi telecommunication, the autonomous lunabotic excavator can perform the tasks of excavating regolith stimulant, collecting it in the dumpster, and dumping it into the assigned collector box. The design and prototyping of the lunabotic excavator robotic system are discussed. The excavator includes multiple modules including mechanical frames, front/rear wheels, excavating conveyor, steering system, dumping system, power supply and distribution system, actuation system, switch control system, data acquisition system, and telecommunication system. The lunabotic excavator robotic system has been implemented. The excavator can perform the expected functions as designed. The lunabotic excavator designs in NASA Lunar Excavating Competition may lead to new and effective robotic excavators for planetary exploration. The design and prototyping strategies used in the lunabotic excavator may be extended to other ground wheeled vehicles or remotely-controlled robotic systems as well.

As the four-wheel steering (4WS) system has great potentials, many researchers' attention was attracted to this technique and active research was made. As a result, passenger cars equipped with 4WS systems were put on the market a few years ago. This report tries to identify the essential elements of the 4WS technology in terms of vehicle dynamics and control techniques. Based on the findings of this investigation, the report gives a mechanism of electronically controlling the steering system depending on the variable pressure applied on it. This enhances the controlling and smoothens the operation of steering mechanism.
