Machine vision has been studied for measurements of workpiece form deviations due to its ease of automation. However, the measurement accuracy limits its wide implementation in industrial applications. In this study, a method based on machine vision...

The studies on quadruped robots equipped with arms are still rare at the moment. The interaction between the arm and the quadrupedal platform needs to be handled by whole-body controllers. This paper presents an optimization-based dynamic whole-body...

The position accuracy of the bottom dead centre (BDC) of a slider is a crucial performance index to measure the quality of a multi-link mechanical press. At present, the research on improving the position accuracy of the BDC mainly focuses on error c...

To improve the high-speed lateral stability of the tractor-semitrailer, a lateral stability control strategy based on the additional yaw moment caused by differential braking is proposed and investigated based on the co-simulation environment. First...

Today, an extensive electrification is occurring in all industrial sectors, with a special interest seen in the automotive and aerospace industries. The electric motor, surely, is one of the main actors in this context, and an ever-increasing effort...

In industrial visual inspection, foreign matters are mostly fractal objects. Detailed detection of fractal objects is difficult but necessary because better decision-making relies on more detailed and more comprehensive detection information. This pr...

A suspended cable–based parallel robot (CBPR) composed of four cables and an end–grab is employed in a pick–and–place operation of moving target gangues (MTGs) with different shapes, sizes, and masses. This paper focuses on tw...

Nowadays, due to the confidence in modeling tools and rapid product iteration, electric machine designers primarily rely on simulations. This approach reduces time and cost and is very useful when comparing different machine topologies. The prototype...

Research on motion control automation of Stewart Platforms with industrial configurations (motion and controllers) is less present in the literature than other types of automation with low-cost devices such as Arduino, or via simulations in MATLAB or...

This paper presents the vibration characteristics of a pantograph–catenary interaction in a rigid catenary system. Both computational simulation and laboratory tests are carried out to evaluate the frequency contents of pantograph strips. Based...
