This paper presents a novel robotic hand with a metamorphic palm which changes the traditional structure of a robotic hand. Based on this new hand structure, the paper investigates motion of the robotic fingers with respect to the palm by presenting finger operation planes and by revealing the relationship between finger motion and palm motion. The study presents the normals of the finger operation planes as a function of the input angles of the palm and uses these normals to relate finger motion to palm motion. This leads to the coaxial condition of the finger-palm relationship that is then converted to the coplanar condition of normals of all finger operation planes. The condition is then used to generate a coupler trajectory, and the iterative trajectory fitting and curve approximation are used for synthesis of palm links, leading to differential geometry based synthesis of angular lengths of the metamorphic palm.

This paper presents a novel robotic hand with a metamorphic palm which changes the traditional structure of a robotic hand. Based on this new hand structure, the paper investigates motion of robotic fingers with respect to the palm by introducing finger operation-planes and by revealing the relationship between finger motion and palm motion. The study presents normals of the finger operation-planes as function of the input angle of the palm and relates finger motion to palm motion. This leads to the co-axial condition of the finger-palm relationship that is then converted to the coplanar condition of normals of all finger operation-planes. The paper then maps the known normals of the first two finger operation-planes to a spherical image space and produces the Gaussian image of normals and a cone of a normal, leading to differential geometry based analysis of the normals of the operation planes and synthesis of the metamorphic palm.

Fairness in income distribution is a factor that both motivates employees and contributes to maintaining social stability. In Vietnam, fair income distribution has been studied from various perspectives. In this article, through the analysis and synthesis of related documents and evidence, and from the perspective of economic philosophy, the author applies John Rawls’s Theory of Justice as Fairness to analyze some issues arising from the implementation of the state’s role in ensuring fair income distribution from 1986 to present. These are unifying the perception of fairness in income distribution; solving the relationship between economic efficiency and social equality; ensuring benefits for the least-privileged people in society; and controlling income. On that basis, the author makes some recommendations to enhance the state’s role in ensuring fair income distribution in Vietnam.

The object of this study is the further development of eco-innovations for the rise of industry and the economy. Emphasis is placed on the growing relevance of "green" incentives in line with climate challenges, the economical use of natural resources, as well as the need for a systematic vision of environmental issues and the implementation of international requirements. The study is based on the work of foreign scientists, international rankings and world best practices for the introduction of modern economic mechanisms of state incentives for greening the economy, green modernization, the transition to a circular model of the economy. There is a difference in the implementation of environmental policy - some local projects in Ukraine and the European approach - with the assessment of eco-innovation, systemic change, the formation of ecosystems, scaling technological solutions. The main methods used in the study are: methods of system-structural analysis, analysis and synthesis, grouping - for preliminary analysis and selection of appropriate tools in the study of the implementation of eco-innovation in Ukraine and EU countries; index valuation method and method of comparative analysis - used in the analysis of public policy to stimulate the company to "green" growth; abstract-logical method - used to establish the relationship between the need to introduce new instruments of public policy in the environmental sphere with elements of large-scale reform in the context of climate modernization of industry and to form a systematic vision of major achievements in implementing international requirements for eco-modernization of industrial enterprises. The paper analyzes the forms of international assistance that can compensate for the lack of available financial resources for the purposes of green modernization of the economy in conditions of limited financial capabilities of the state, intensification of competition for European and international environmental investments. The obtained result - a set of possible tools to stimulate Ukrainian industry - allows more systematic implementation of "greening" of Ukrainian industry, and their implementation and combination in a specific mechanism will determine the success of an industrial socially-oriented economy.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to obtain the differential geometric analysis of autonomous wheel-legged robots and their trajectories on the terrain. Design/methodology/approach The author uses a wheel using the osculating sphere of the curve on rough terrain. Additionally, the author expresses a triple osculating sphere wheel by taking advantage of differential geometry. Moreover, the author examined the consecutive wheel center-curves to obtain the optimum posture of a micro-hydraulic toolkit (MHT) robot. Findings The author examined the terrain path, which is crucial for trajectory planning in terms of the geometric perspective. The author designed the triple MHT wheel using the osculating sphere of the MHT robot trajectory by taking advantage of local differential geometric properties of this curve on the terrain. The consecutive wheel center-curves were expressed and studied based on differential geometry. Originality/value The author provides a novel approach for the optimum posture of an MHT robot using consecutive wheel-center curves and provides an original perspective to MHT robot and its trajectory by using differential geometry.

In continuation of our scientific research, published in the previous issue of the journal, this article was written. In the process of research, the methods of analysis and synthesis, the graphic method were used. The results of this study prove the general theoretical conclusion about the relationship between nominal wage growth and inflation. Achieving financial stability is possible with a decrease in the rate of inflation. Based on the analysis of the scientific periodic and monographic literature, the calculations we have cited, the article concluded that the reasons for inflation in Russia are mostly non-monetary. But when choosing a macroeconomic policy, it is necessary to base on the coordination of influence on both monetary and non-monetary factors of inflation.

Conjugate curves have been put forward previously by authors for gear transmission. Compared with traditional conjugate surfaces, the conjugate curves have more flexibility and diversity in aspects of gear design and generation. To further extend its application in power transmission, the geometric and meshing properties of conjugate curves are discussed in this paper. Firstly, general principle descriptions of conjugate curves for arbitrary axial position are introduced. Secondly, geometric analysis of conjugate curves is carried out based on differential geometry including tangent and normal in arbitrary contact direction, characteristic point, and curvature relationships. Then, meshing properties of conjugate curves are further revealed. According to a given plane or spatial curve, the uniqueness of conjugated curve under different contact angle conditions is discussed. Meshing commonality of conjugate curves is also demonstrated in terms of a class of spiral curves contacting in the given direction for various gear axes. Finally, a conclusive summary of this study is given.
