TL;DR: Four quite different robots have been developed in the laboratory that can move on an irregular vertical wall by using the thrust force of propellers and fly in the air in a short distance whenever it is required.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two legged mobile robot that can climb from one surface to another surface by using suction cups was designed, and three artificial constraint equations were derived to create the working Jacobin matrix, and then a progam was written to calculate the reaction and actuator force, based on which, the most dangerous position of the robot was found.

TL;DR: This paper investigates the application of a polynomial abductive network modeling technique to a class of hydraulic actuation systems used in heavy-duty mobile machines and shows that the computation time is reduced considerably, yet the simulation results show a sufficient degree of predictive accuracy.

TL;DR: An algorithm in which quenching is combined with rapid heating is presented, which holds promise for problems where moves exist that leave the cost of the current solution unchanged and is successfully applied to the multiple-valued logic minimization problem.

TL;DR: In this article, two new decentralized strategies for motion control of uncertain electrically-driven manipulators are presented, one is an adaptive position regulation scheme which ensures semiglobal asymptotic convergence of the position error if no external disturbances are present and the other is modified to provide accurate trajectory tracking control through the introduction of adaptive feedforward elements in the control law.

TL;DR: A new hybrid assembly strategy is proposed, suitable for adoption by small companies used to manual assembly, that converts an existing single-product manual assembly line from one of single- product production to one capable of assembling multiple products through the controlled introduction of robot stations.

TL;DR: It is shown, how, with a suitable restructuring of the conventional discrete-time shift operator models, considerably improved robustness to such situations can be achieved with marginally added computations.

TL;DR: Two parallel algorithms for computing fast Fourier transform (FFT) on a new type of architecture called the n-star-connected, cycles ( n -SCC) have been considered and these algorithms are based on the Cooley-Tukey FFT algorithm and combine the principles of parallelism and pipelining.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the RH is capable of providing hypercube-like performance at a significantly reduced complexity/cost.

TL;DR: A modular approach to circuit simulation is proposed in which the traditional “closed” structure of circuit simulators is replaced by a collection of loosely coupled “simulation primitives” which can be combined in different ways, depending upon a particular application.

TL;DR: The approach is based on elimination of self adjacent registers to improve controllability and observability of the data path, resulting in an increased level of testability, and is found that the technique is more cost effective than the existing techniques.
