A rope-climbing robot (RCR) can reciprocate on a rope. To address poor load capacity and adaptability, this study designs a dual-rope crawler type RCR for use as a new type of transportation equipment in hilly, mountainous, and plateau areas.

With overhead rope parabolic theory to kinematically analyze the RCR system, the robot motion trajectory model and tilt angle equation are established.

In the design and processing of face gears, it is not necessary to accurately express the tooth surface with an equation, since it will be difficult to analyze some of the most important and practical features, such as the induced curvature relationship. In this regard, this paper uses the discrete curvature relationship of a spatial gradient curvature ellipsoid to describe the space meshing surface, and it establishes a set of discrete digital conjugate surface meshing principles.

This paper proposes a spring efficiency assessment and the efficient use of springs methods for a static spring-balanced manipulator. Gravity is balanced by springs; however, it also contains counter-effects between springs. Conceptually, with fewer counter-effects between springs, there is less burden on the spring system, which means that the springs are used more efficiently. Through adjustment of the springs' attachment and parameters, a method to use springs efficiently is developed.

This paper use the topological characteristic constants for isomorphism identification, such as the power value sequence (PVS), least distance matrix sequence (LDMS), and loop number (LN). The fourth PVS, the LDMS, and the LN are compared and arranged in descending order, forming a strong complementary chain. Our results show that solving the problem of the isomorphism identification of the kinematic chain (KC) based on graph theory definition has no advantage in efficiency.

Robotic ultrasonic scanning needs to apply an appropriate force for a long time during the acquisition process. Excessive contact force may lead to deformation and even hurt the patient, while insufficient force would lead to poor image quality. We proposed a varying rate hybrid position–impedance control strategy, which can partly play the role of an ultrasound sonographer and serve as a medical assistant to reduce their workload.

Transrectal prostate brachytherapy (BT) can effectively treat prostate cancer. During the operation, doctors need to hold the ultrasound probe for repeated adjustments, which makes it difficult to ensure the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of the operation. We designed an 11 DOF (degrees of freedom) active and passive transrectal BT robot based on the analysis of the transrectal prostate BT process.

We present a novel exoskeleton based on deformable pneumatic actuators, known as McKibben muscles or artificial muscles. The aim of this system is to support a worker during overhead tasks, in which they need to lift the arms and hold that position for a long time. Simulations have been performed, starting from a mathematical model of the exoskeleton and of the artificial muscle. A first architecture of the complete device is also presented.

To obtain all mechanical schemes, scholars in this field have proposed an innovative design method using kinematic chain configuration synthesis. However, the existing innovative design method easily produces redundant design schemes. We analyze the similar component discrimination method for mechanisms from the perspective of graph theory and apply it to the specialization of topological graphs to solve the problem of redundant design schemes.

A positioning system for ultra-wideband (UWB) electric micro-tillers suitable for complex greenhouse environments was designed as the basis for realising unmanned micro-tillers to address the problem of frequent safety accidents of existing micro-tillers. The positioning system of the greenhouse electric micro-tiller designed in this paper demonstrates a stable performance and positioning accuracy to meet the needs of greenhouse rotary tillage operations.

Power line inspection not only wastes human and material resources, but also has a high-risk factor for manual inspection of power lines. Therefore, based on previous researchers, we designed a novel power line inspection robot. We also investigate walking stability of the robot on the line when encountering working conditions with crossing wind, since the power line is about 50–60 m from the ground and the inspection robots are greatly affected by wind.

In mobile robot development, the designer focuses on the novelty of the final element, leaving out the mobile platform evolution; the chief problem with wheeled mobile robots is the restricted movement in the workspace due to the necessity for the system's reorientation. Our goal is to realize a wheeled mobile robotic system that can generate an omnidirectional displacement without the need to redirect the wheels, thus guaranteeing continuous operation.

The proposed approach to assessing the kinematic accuracy allows one to determine the deviations in the output link using the theory of accuracy. This allows one to determine the deviations in the output link at any point in the working area and propose constructive solutions for its compensation. This approach to determining the positioning error makes it possible to calculate the deviations in the output link for similar mechanisms of a parallel structure.

It is more efficient and safe to use a sub robot to replace the mother robot to perform space exploration tasks full of challenges. A novel three-rocker-arm six-wheeled robot with adaptive obstacle-crossing capability was designed to form a sub-parent exploration system with a large robot and to perform exploration tasks. A prototype of the robot is developed, and the experiment results show that the robot can maintain stability in rugged terrain and has excellent ability to cross obstacles.

In this paper, we use the folded section hypothesis to determinate the ratchet tooth root bending stress and provide a normal mathematical model to calculate it. This model has been proved by the finite element analysis method and the ratchet experiment. It is recommended that this model be used to predict the ratchet tooth root bending stress in the ratchet design process.

This paper designs a type of bionic-gibbon robot with three links and two grippers. We apply the sliding-mode control to the swing motion of the robot. The bionic-gibbon robot can complete continuous brachiation motion on the irregularly distributed bars. Besides, compared with the two-link structure, the three-link structure introduced in this paper improves the swing efficiency and increases the swing height of the robot.

The electrically driven Stewart platform (EDSP) is used widely. However, the passive rotation (PR) on driven branch chains can generate posture error on the end effector. Compensation control strategy is designed to avoid effects of PR on posture accuracy of the 6-DOF (degrees of freedom) EDSP based on calculation and analysis. The validity of analysis and the effectiveness of the compensation method used to improving posture accuracy are proven by simulation and experiments on a 6-DOF EDSP.

This paper presents the force analysis and optimization of four versions of self-adaptive robotic fingers based on the simplest closed-loop 1 degree-of-freedom mechanism possible, namely the four-bar linkage. Two of these versions include prismatic joints. It was concluded that simpler designs in adaptive fingers do not necessarily mean weaker performances since the results are at least comparable with other designs with more degrees of freedom.

Short summary
In order to store grain in large warehouses, a process is required that will prevent the effects of mildew and heat. Real-time monitoring of the grain status is needed. Using the information obtained from the monitoring system, corresponding measures were taken for the heating and mildew points in the grain pile. We proposed a drill which is a granary grain condition detector. It can be equipped with temperature, CO2, and humidity sensors and gather information by entering the grain pile.
