In this paper, a state estimation method of distributed electric drive articulated vehicle dynamics parameters based on the forgetting factor unscented Kalman filter with singular value decomposition (SVD-UKF) is proposed. The 7DOF nonlinear dynamics...

In this paper, a two-DOF L-shaped yoke spherical actuator based on the principle of traditional voice coil actuators is developed. By utilizing the shape characteristics of the yoke and the magnetization direction of the magnet, the magnetic flux is...

Vascular interventional surgical robots (VISRs) can help doctors to avoid X-ray radiation. This paper proposes a leader–follower isomorphic robot where the structural form and operational logic are completely identical. The doctor’s opera...

In order to accurately evaluate the dynamic characteristics of the hydraulic bushing, the fluid–structure coupling finite element modeling of the hydraulic bushing was carried out, and its fluid–structure coupling characteristics were ana...

A trajectory tracking control scheme is proposed in this paper to achieve unmanned underground construction of a new type of shaft boring machine. The body motion model is constructed, and the control relationship between the driving system and the b...

The 5-degree-of-freedom active magnetic bearings (5-DOF AMB) and high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motor (HPMSM) were combined and applied to energy-recovery-type air compressors for fuel cells, which gives full play to the advantages of both a...

In actual industrial scenarios, collecting a complete dataset with all fault categories under the same conditions is challenging, leading to a loss in fault category knowledge in single-source domains. Deep learning domain adaptation methods face dif...

Robot visual servoing for grasping has long been challenging to execute in complex visual environments because of issues with efficient feature extraction. This paper proposes a novel visual servoing grasping approach based on the Deep Visual Servoin...

A distributed adaptive fuzzy event-triggered bipartite formation tracking control scheme is proposed for switched nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) with function constraints on states. Fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) are used to identify uncertain item...

In the safety technology of collaborative robots, standards differentiate between various collision types, the identification and differentiation of which are essential for ensuring safe operation. The objective of this paper is to develop and test a...
