In this paper we present new experimental results for a novel underactuated system called the ROBOTRIKKE. The ROBOTRIKKE is a three-wheeled system that can be driven by periodic motion of its front steering wheel combined with rocking side-to-side motion of a robotic rider. We present two new generations of the ROBOTRIKKE including a ABS model made using Shape Deposition Manufacturing (SDM). We present modeling, simulation and experimental results for gait generation for the ROBOTRIKKE using a combination of periodic inputs for the steering axis and a rider. We show how a rocking motion (as used by human riders) can be used to improve the performance of the ROBOTRIKKE.

The jumping–gliding robot is a kind of locomotion platform with the capabilities to jump on the ground and glide through the air. The jumping of this robot has to juggle the requirements of initial velocity and posture for entry to gliding and progressing on the ground. Inspired by flying squirrels, we proposed the concept of flexible wing-limb blending platform and designed a robot with two jumping modes. The robot can takeoff with different speeds and stances, and adjust aerial posture using the swing of forelimbs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first miniature and bio-inspired jumping robot that can autonomically change the speeds and stances when takeoff. Experimental results show that the robot can takeoff at about 3 m/s and pitch angle of 0° in the mode of jumping for gliding and adjust the pitch angle at the top to 0°~10° by actuating the forelimbs swing according to the requirement of gliding. In the mode of jumping for progress, the robot can takeoff at about 2 m/s with a pitch angle of 20° and then intermittently jump with a distance of 0.37 m of once jump and an average progress speed of 0.2 m/s. The robot presented in this paper lays the foundation for the development of flexible wing-limb blending platform, which is capable of jumping and gliding.

This paper presents a development of human machine interface (HMI) which was applied to a miniature 3-axis milling machine prototyping. The development began with the study and design of a milling machine. Then, virtual prototyping, this stage is the integration of aided design, programming design, and simulation design to demonstration the functionality of the virtual machine in a computer environment. After that, the virtual prototype which was verified and optimized to be used a physical prototyping. Finally, links the virtual and physical together. The experimental results show that a performance of proposed HMI in a machine prototyping was satisfactory.

This paper presents a study of the stick-slip frictional phenomenon when large contact areas subjected to uneven contact loads are involved. The objective of the investigation is to gain better understanding of the phenomenon from experimental observations and to develop a mathematical representation that can be used for modeling, simulation and design purposes. A dynamic integral-model has been proposed and simulations have been carried out. The effects of various system parameters on the behavior of the system have been studied experimentally and analytically. The simulation results using the proposed integral-model are in good agreement with the experimental results. The latter also show that stick-slip vibrations can be influenced by the loading conditions.
