This paper proposes a new method of 6-DOF serial robot’s trajectory planning. Ensuring to satisfy the physical constraints of space conditions, the robot’s trajectory is interpolated in the Cartesian coordinate system, and using quaternion interpolation to solve the multiple solution problem in RPY interpolation. Meanwhile, the interpolated position information is transformed into the angular displacement information of the joint coordinate system, and the joint space trajectory planning is achieved using the genetic algorithms integrated velocity, acceleration, jerk and torque and other important kinematic and dynamic constraints. In robot safety and stability, the method is better than the general approach, and it has both the ideal trajectory parameters of the global search ability and performance planning.

Active magnetic bearing (AMB) actuators support rotors without friction but require feedback control for stabilization and performance. Autobalancing compensation causes AMBs to spin a rotor about its inertial axis to eliminate synchronous force transmission from mass unbalance. Because mass unbalance constitutes a sinusoidal sensor disturbance within the bandwidth, conventional methods can either cause instability or fail to preserve desired bandwidth. We introduce a new method called adaptive forced balancing (AFB) which overcomes these problems. We consider AFB with a frequency tracking capability for SISO systems (i.e., single-end AMB suspensions) and show how to extend it for the MIMO case as applied to a double-end AMB suspension.

This paper proposes a new method of collaboration within a team of twoindividual NAO robots that should execute together a complex operation. The Naorobots are developed so as not only to act individually, but also to cooperatewith other robots if they cannot accomplish the operation alone. This paperpresents a case study demonstrating the integration of the humanoid roboticsplatform Nao within a cooperation application. This specific scenario ofinterest takes place in a small simulated manufacturing environment; while thetask being the storage of a big object, with different shape and weight. Thisscenario is used to observe the impact and performance that this particularteam of humanoid robots has in an industrial environment.Finally we present the successful implementation of robot – robot cooperationcapabilities inspired by human behaviour.

AbstractA new method for evaluating the capabilities and performance of a general hospital in masscasualty exercises is described. This method is based on the use of simulation techniques which are realistic relative to the types and availability of the manpower required and to the time consumed by the assessments, interventions, and administrative duties and demands for each casualty encountered and the total workload thrust on the hospital by the cumulative requirements of all of the casualties. The simulation can be accomplished only after the time and equipment required for every possible diagnostic, therapeutic, and administrative procedure has been assessed for the specific hospital. Thereafter, it is possible to define the exact type and quantity of resources, in terms of time and manpower, consumed cumulatively by every simulated casualty assessed and treated during the exercise. The simulated victims are selected from a pool of young physicians who are briefed thoroughly by senior staff physicians prior to the exercise. Thus, the simulated subjects are provided lists of problems and the appropriate options for treatment. They also serve as controllers in the definition of time and manpower consumed for their specific injury set. Given this setting, it is possible to assess the functional performance of a hospital as a unit and for each of its components and also realistically estimate its capacity to manage disaster victims using a simulation of a disaster situation with mass casualties.

A quantitative method which is named as ‘Wear Area Method’ (WAM) is proposed to characterize the brazed diamond tool wear in this paper. To different diamond grain forms, we present different definitions of their wear area. And with above foundation, the concept ‘Tool Wear Rate’ (TWR) is defined to describe the wear level of tool. Then we propose a corresponding measurement way which depends on the SEM photos and software Image pro plus to get the wear area. Finally, we set a face grinding experiment of sapphire to confirm the availability of this new method.

In this paper, the Eighteenth Order Convergent Method (EOCM) developed by Vatti et.al is considered and this method is further studied without the presence of second derivative. It is shown that this method has same efficiency index as that of EOCM. Several numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and performance of the new method. AMS Subject Classification: 41A25, 65K05, 65H05.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to clarify the applicable conditions for coatings with different element contents. Surface coating on existed tool material is an effective way to improve the cutting tool properties in extremely adverse machining conditions. These coatings are generally non-metering compounds. Each coating with a certain element ratio has a specific application condition, and the relationship between element contents and performance should be defined. Design/methodology/approach (Zr, Ti)N hard coatings with different element contents were deposited on cemented carbide. The ball-on-disk method reciprocating sliding wear tests against 40Cr hardened steel were carried out. This paper was focused on analysis of the friction and wear behaviors of these (Zr, Ti)N coatings with different element contents. Findings The results indicated that atomic ratio of Zr and Ti was the main factor that decided the friction coefficients. The friction coefficient and wear rate showed a gradual downward trend at 10 N with the increase of Zr content. The wear rate was the smallest at the atomic percentage of nitrogen 0.466. If the lattice distortion of the coatings gets too severe, the coatings would have a high wear rate. Originality/value The optimal application conditions of the coatings were defined, and this was important for customized design or choice of the coatings under different cutting parameters.
