Concept explainers
A Segway ®5 Personal Transporter (PT) (Figure Pl .3) is a two-wheeled vehicle in which the human operator stands vertically on a platform. As the driver leans left, right, forward, or backward, a set of sensitive gyroscopic- sensors sense the desired input. These signals are fed to a computer that amplifies them and commands motors to propel the vehicle in the desired direction. One very important feature of the PT is its safety: The system will maintain its vertical position within a specified angle despite road disturbances, such as uphills and downhills or even if the operator over-leans in any direction. Draw a functional block diagram of the PT system that keep The System in a vertical position. Indicate the input and output signals, intermediate signals, and many subsystems. (http://segway.com)

Nise, Chapter 7, Experiment 2, Prelab You are given the model of a single joint of a robotic manipulator shown in Figure 7.26 (Spong, 2005), where B is the coefficient of viscous friction, d(s) is the desired angle, 0(s) is the output angle, and D(s) is the disturbance. We want to track the joint angle using a PD controller, which we will study in Chapter 9. Assume J = B = 1. Find the step and ramp responses of this system for the following combinations of PD gains (Kp, KD): (16, 7), (64, 15), and (144, 23).

- The 6-DOF robot shown below represents what kind of kinematic chain – open or closed?arrow_forward1) A slider-crank mechanism is a planar mechanism that performs a conversion between the translational motion of a slider and the rotational motion of a crank. It is used in many different engineering applications. A familiar example will be a piston engine. In Figure 1, a basic slider- crank mechanism is shown. В b dạc Figure 1. A basic slider-crank mechanism 0< 0< 2n; b = 20 cm; I= 50 cm 1- Find the angle of Ø and the distance of dAC as a function of 0. 2- If crank AB has a rotational speed of w = 1000 rev/min; find velocity of C (Vc) and velocity and acceleration of link BC (vBC & aBC)arrow_forwarda. Currently, you serve as a robotic engineer by a company, and your boss want you to design a robot in spatial space to satisfy the following conditions: i. Max reachable distance of the robot is 1 meter. ii. Only using revolute joints, connecting links and rigid load bearing links (the length of link is 0.5m). iii. The degree of freedom (Dof) of the robot is 2. What is your design, how many joints and links will you use? b. The payload of your design is 10 kg (each load bearing link can hold 5 kg, 5 kg+5 kg=10kg, the weight and payload of the connecting links will be ignored), but your boss wants your designed robots to handle 20 kg payload. How will you update your current design, and how many joints and links will you use in the new design? What is the Dof of the new designed robot.arrow_forward

Is it possible to have a steering mechanism that exceeds 100% of the Ackermann geometry? If so, make a diagram of this mechanism. Considering that there are different types of steering mechanisms, construct the geometric diagram of five examples applied to vehicle dynamics.arrow_forward
