This manuscript presents a shape memory alloy (SMA) actuated anti-slip mechanism for the wheels of step climbing robots. The proposed mechanism comprises three kinematic chains considering the Lazy Tong and the bi-stable four-bar mechanism. Chain 1 of the mechanism is used to clamp on the edges of the stairs to avoid slipping. The second chain of the mechanism is used to switch the mechanism between two stable positions, i.e., open position and closed position, of chain 1. For activating the mechanism, the third chain is employed which is based on SMA wire. Furthermore, the mechanism is designed to achieve passive switching from the open position to the closed position. Equations are developed to determine the dimensions of various members. Using those parameters, a 3D model of the proposed mechanism is developed. Stress analysis is performed and the model is found to be safe under a load of 250 N with a factor of safety of 3.025. The mechanism is attached to either side of a wheel of the outer radius of 290 mm. To analyze the kinematics of the mechanism, a three-dimensional model in MSC Adams is developed and studied. The force required by SMA actuator is found to be less than 5 N. The proposed mechanism may be used for various unmanned robotic systems while mitigating step-like obstacles in the path.

Locating System

In this paper, a solution based on laser technology is proposed for steel coil handling. The main emphasis is placed on the problem of steel coil identification and locating. In this paper, we first use laser data to construct three dimensional model of the worksite. And then we slice up the 3D model repeatedly to get the section images and make them to fusion. In order to wipe off the disturb of line, a line detection method based on probabilistic hough transform is proposed. Finally an improved least square method used in circle fitting is discussed.

A novel five degrees of freedom deformable mobile robot composed of two spatial reconfigurable platforms and three revolute–prismatic–spherical kinematic chains acting in parallel to link the two platforms is proposed to realize large deformation capabilities and multiple locomotion modes. Each platform is an improved deployable single degrees of freedom three-plane-symmetric Bricard linkage. By taking advantage of locomotion collaborating among platforms and kinematic chains, the mobile robot can fold into stick-like shape and possess omnidirectional rolling and worm-like motions. The mechanism design, kinematics, and locomotion feasibility are the main focus. Through kinematics and gait planning, the robot is analyzed to have the capabilities of rolling and turning. Based on its deformation, the worm-like motion performs the ability to overcome narrow passages (such as pipes, holes, gaps, etc.) with large range of variable size. Dynamic simulations with detailed three-dimensional model are carried out to verify the gait planning and provide the variations of essential motion and dynamic parameters in each mode. An experimental robotic system with servo and pneumatic actuation systems is built, experiments are carried out to verify the validity of the theoretical analysis and the feasibility of the different locomotion functions, and its motion performances are compared and analyzed with collected data.

In order to take full advantages of the integration of 3D technology graphics and data, this paper proposes the concept of a full-attribute 3D model that satisfies the full-process data application of substation engineering construction. All stages of engineering construction extract the required data from the full-attribute 3D model for calculation, Analysis, statistics, management and other functions, to achieve all-round coverage of three-dimensional data information from design to construction and construction management, laying the foundation for data circulation and management of the entire life cycle of substation projects. A method of applying a full-attribute three- dimensional model for construction, operation and maintenance management is proposed, which lays a foundation for the realization of refined, digital and intelligent project management.

Positive Effect

This article deals with the topic of one of the most important features of modern CAx class systems – associativity. The term refers to the ability to form relations (links) between two or more objects (in terms of their selected features), and with the consequence creating an associative (linked) three-dimensional model. The author pays special attention to the very process of creating relations between objects, as it has a key impact on the structural stability of CAD class models, and thus on their susceptibility to possible modifications. To show that not all associativity brings a positive effect, the author presents two examples of its implementation. In order to emphasize the influence of the method of linking individual elements, both examples are based on the same 3D model – a thin-walled part with a positioning pin. That means the geometric form of the default part is the same, whereas only relations of the individual objects of the 3D model change. In the first scenario, correctly defined relations between objects make that the positioning pin offset does not affect the initial design conditions. The second scenario shows an incorrect implementation of associativity, as a result of which the same operation of positioning pin offset gives non-compliance with the initial design conditions and with the consequence an undesirable change in its geometry. The article is an attempt to draw attention to the fact that the associative structure of 3D models is not always equal to the optimal solution. Only the well-thought-out nature of associativity allows to use all its advantages.

The article is devoted to defining the essence and directions of application of the photogrammetric method of forensic photography in criminal proceedings. It is determined that the photogrammetric method of forensic photography is to photograph objects according to special rules in order to further measure them on the obtained images. It is determined that the photogrammetric method of judicial photography consists in photographing objects according to special rules in order to perform their further measurements using the obtained images. The method of measuring objects using a single image is called monophotogrammetric and is known in the theory of forensic photography as measuring (scale) method; using a pair of images is called stereophotogrammetric (known as stereoscopic); measurement with more than two images is a polyphotogrammetric method. As a result of polyphotogrammetric fixation of an object with the help of a serial digital camera and computer image processing, it is possible to obtain its high-quality geometrically accurate textured three-dimensional model. Objects of different sizes, from micro-objects, to entire buildings or areas, interiors can be scanned with polyphotogrammetric method. The 3D model of the scanned object reconstructed as a result of polyphotogrammetric photography and software processing can be saved in a number of conventional formats in electronic form, viewed and researched using special software. The rules and algorithm of polyphotogrammetric scaning are given, the process of reconstruction of 3D model on the basis of received images is described. The advantages of the researched method of forensic photography are its non-invasiveness, clarity and accuracy of the obtained models, wide possibilities of their use and research.

The article discusses the methods of using the AutoCad graphic editor for creating three-dimensional objects. The possibilities of three-dimensional modeling in the AutoCad graphic editor for optimizing the educational process of bachelors of technical specialties are also considered. The article analyzes the best ways to create mechanical engineering drawings.The most developed software tool for the production of design documentation is AutoCAD - a universal graphic design system. Creating models of any complexity in space by using this graphic editor, the user will be able to see their relative position, estimate the distance between them. The model can be freely moved in space, viewing many options. The ability to control the point of view allows to conveniently select the view of the 3D model that is being developed. Zooming, panning in real time with the ability to freely rotate the camera around the model provide the ability to quickly view objects from any point of view. The article provides examples of choosing the most optimal option for creating a three-dimensional model. The traditional way to create a 3D model drawing is to make 2D views of the model. When creating a flat drawing, there is a possibility of error when making projections, since they are created independently from each other and consist of several images. It is rather difficult to represent an object in space from a flat drawing. At present, modern software graphic editors are aimed at creating three-dimensional models that allow to create realistic models and, on their basis, get two-dimensional projections. Graphic editor AutoCad allows to create three-dimensional objects based on standard commands, in the form of a cylinder, cone, box, torus, etc., when editing which you can get the desired shapes. After creating a three-dimensional model, the user can get its two-dimensional projections not only on the main planes, but also on any plane at will. The 3D modeling method allows you to create a complex drawing with any number of images based on a 3D model. There are ways to create 2D plane drawings from a 3D model and the ability to edit ready-made designs that can be inserted from model space into paper space. Editing takes place by changing the parameters of a 3D object in model space, and these changes are automatically reflected in paper space. This method allows us to use the tools to quickly create a system of 3-4 linked views for a 3D AutoCad model.

The presentation of the property in the form of a three-dimensional model has become a subject of increased interest in cadastre management over the past decades. An analysis of this area in Russia showed a virtual lack of dynamics in the development of 3D modeling. One of the reasons is the lack of structure and content of a 3D model. The article presents a formalized description of the elements of a 3D model, on the basis of which a set of criteria and their indicators was proposed and a comparative analysis of the content of 3D models of advanced foreign countries was carried out. As a result of the analysis, a formalized description of the structure and content of 3D models in accordance with the national characteristics of the countries under consideration is proposed. Based on the data obtained, the Russian model of the 3D cadastre is formalized, and ways of its modernization are proposed in accordance with the best technological solutions of the analyzed cadastral systems.

The article forms the conceptual principles of use of digital 3D model as means of cognition and display of signs of a criminal offense in criminal proceedings. A 3D model can be defined as a digital, three-dimensional image of an object, which reflects its external structure and color, accurately and proportionally reproduces the ratio of its spatial features. It can directly contain information about the shape, proportions, color and mutual placement in space of the elements of the original object. Provided the manufacturing technology is followed, the model is isomorphic to original object. Such a model serves as a means of cognition and reflection of forensically significant features of a criminal offense. The main methods for making 3D models are reconstruction (modeling) and scanning. 3D reconstruction (or 3D modeling) can be defined as the process of reproducing a 3D model of a forensic significant object based on information about it contained in the materials of criminal proceedings. The reconstructed models can be used during investigative (search) actions and for solving organizational problems. 3D scanning consists in the direct fixation of the external spatial features of the object using a special software and hardware complex, followed by the formation of a digital three-dimensional model of the object. Subject to compliance with the procedural requirements for the use of technical means of fixing forensically significant information, scanned 3D models will be sources of evidentiary information in criminal proceedings. 3D scanning is a promising method for recording the course and results of an inspection of the scene of an incident, inspection of a corpse or things; it can be used for fixing signs of a person's appearance, as well as for solving identification and diagnostics tasks in forensic activities. The invariability of the 3D model can be ensured by calculating the hash of the file that contains it.
