摘要： The article focuses on the increased number of automation jobs as the world of robotic automation continues to grow. According to senior corporate executives, robotics is a major source of jobs for the U.S. Increase of robotic engineers as well as skilled technicians that can operate, program, and maintain those robots is also emphasized..

摘要： Empirical evidence suggests the effectiveness of robotics as a learning complementary tool in tertiary education. In this context, some experiences benefited from the link between educational practice and theory. However, a comprehensive survey on initiatives that explores this link in universities and colleges is missing. This work systematically reviews quantitatively assessed robots applications, grounded in learning theories, in tertiary institutions. By applying a protocol review in different bibliographic databases, 15 papers were selected for synthesis. As a result, experiences developing non-robotic concepts and skills in universities and colleges were found. In most of the cases, Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate courses were involved. In addition, empirical results reported by the selected publications suggest that some literature proposals can be useful in practice. Based on the panorama obtained, this work also points out future directions for practitioners and researchers in education. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

摘要： 研究一种两杆三质点类圆规双足被动行走模型,在行走模型上增加支撑脚横向和纵向两个自由度,以该模型为研究对象,求解被动动态行走步态,并分析其局部和全局稳定性.结果表明当模型的雅克比矩阵最大特征值在单位圆内且初始状态在吸引域内时,行走步态稳定.为理解双足行走的运动机理提供指导,同时也为设计稳定、高效的双足机器人提供分析思路.

摘要： 提出了一种二自由度球面并联腿机构,并以该机构为基础,设计了一种结构简单且越障性能良好的轮-腿复合移动机器人。阐述了该机构的组成,采用解析几何法和闭环约束方程构建了RUPU-RUPR球面并联腿机构的位置逆解、工作空间、速度和加速度模型,并验证了其准确性。运用牛顿-欧拉法建立了RUPU-RUPR球面并联腿机构的动力学模型。在给定动平台的运动规律和外力后,通过动力学方程求解出RUPR驱动支链驱动力,RUPU驱动支链驱动力矩以及RUPR驱动支链约束力矩,并给出动力学模型仿真解。结果表明该机构具有良好的工作性能。

摘要： 提出了一种新型PURU+RR+S球面并联人形机器人踝关节机构,根据机构的几何约束关系和速度合成定理,建立包括各个构件位姿、速度的机构运动学模型。在此基础上,考虑各构件惯性力的影响,基于虚功原理和拉格朗日方程,建立了机构动力学模型。通过实验测量,得到一组人体踝关节的运动学数据,利用傅里叶公式进行拟合,得到人体踝关节的位姿函数。将此位姿函数分别作为理论模型、踝关节虚拟样机的输出,得到踝关节机构输入的数值解、仿真数据,验证了运动学和动力学模型的正确性。研究结果为该人形机器人踝关节机构在工程中的结构设计与应用提供了动力学理论基础和依据。
