Mobil Mechatronic System with Applications in Agriculture and Sylviculture

Ion Ion; Ion Simionescu; Adrian Curaj

Abstract Walking mechatronic systems protected much better the environment when their contact with the soil is discrete, a fact that limits appreciately the area that is crushed. In order to make and to control a walking robot, one needs the knowledge of all walking potentialities since the choice of the number of legs as well as of their structures depend on the type of gait that has been selected. In the Mobil Robots Laboratory of the POLITEHNICA University of Bucharest, a four-legged modular mechatronic system has been built and tested, while a hexapod one is being tested.

Fostering innovation in services through open education and advanced IT

Theodor Borangiu; Adrian Curaj; Anamaria Dogar

The paper presents a strategic academic project, promoting in collaboration with industry a modern educational frame for skills and competence training in higher education in the area of Service Science, Management and Engineering (SSME) and fostering innovation in services industry, based on an open and continuous education model which uses an advanced Information Technology infrastructure — Cloud Computing — with virtualised resources, which can be accessed as services.

The Modular Walking Machine, Platform for Technological Equipments

Ion Ion; Ion Simionescu; Adrian Curaj; Lucian Dulgheru; Aurelian Vasile

Walking robots represent a special category of robot, characterized by having the power source and technological equipment on-board the platform. A walking robot can traverse most natural terrains. The advantages of a legged system for off-road use have been gradually recognized. One of the most important advantages is mobility.

Adaptation to Rough Terrains by Using Force Sensing on the MERO Modular Walking Robots

Ion Ion; Mircea Găvan; Adrian Curaj; Grigore Stamatescu; Cornel Dinu

The last years a large number of vehicles have been developed for their mobility characteristics over rough terrains. The new modular walking robot MERO* (MEchanism Robot- *Pelecudi Ch et.al.) by reconfiguring their architecture are built to displace the heavy loads on the rough terrains. The main characteristic of the modular walking robot is that they are able to move away on not arranged, horizontal and rough terrains. The modular mechatronic system protect much better the environment when its contact with the soil is discrete, a fact that limits appreciately he area that is crushed. Operation of autonomous walking robot MERO movement implies the existence of a close link between planning movements, environmental perception and executions order to obtain an appropriate behaviour in weakly structured environments. For further acquisition of terrain information, we propose installed active force sensor for terminal leg. This paper describes the detailed design and the prototype characterization of a novel tactile sensor force/moment sensor for MERO an intelligent walking robot’s .

DYNAMIC STABILITY IMPROVEMENT OF WALKING ROBOTS 1

Luige Vladareanu; Ion Ion; Adrian Curaj; Stefan A. Dumitru

The paper presents ZPM dynamic control of walking robots, developing an open architecture real time control multiprocessor system, for dynamics stability improvement of MERO walking robots. In order to increase mobility and stability in real conditions and to obtain superior results relating to the possibility of moving walking robots on terrains with close configuration to real situations such as slope walking, overtaking or avoiding obstacles, the paper presents research regarding the integration of compliant control and fuzzy control into the hybrid position force control system architecture for hexapod walking robots. The results obtained shows that this allows the robot to adapt to rough terrain through a real time control with increased stability during walking.

Hierarchical Object-Oriented Mission Planning for Multilegged Autonomous Robots

Aurelian Mihai Stanescu; I. Dumitrache; Adrian Curaj; R.C. Patras

Abstract The paper is dealing with a theoretical approach for design the goal-structure-oriented missions to be performed by autonomous robots. A three orthogonal views-based framework is usedfor the behavioral, structural and physical representations within design space. The object oriented paradigm is chosen to support the development of an integrated tool that can ensure the user to generate and evaluate various scenarios. A six legged spider-like robot is OO modelled and simulated as a case study.
