This paper examines the mobility potential of a robotic 6-by-6 wheeled omni-directional drive vehicle (ODV) with z-axis and tire inflation control. Ad ODV can steer and drive all wheels independently. The direction of motion is independent of the orientation of the body. Z- axis control ...

The inside of a finger is relatively narrow, and robotic hands with a tendon drive mechanism have been extensively researched15. Other approaches to tendon drive mechanisms are an integrated linkage-spring-tendon compliant anthropomorphic robotic hand16, a tendon-driven robotic hand with underactuated r...
(2020) proposed the use of a vibratory hammer installed on a wheeled robot to drive posts and sheet piles into the ground for facilitating automated earthmoving construction. A robotic spray tank is a portable tank for storing a certain amount of liquid. For instance, an octocopter (i.e.,...
The three wheeled leg mechanisms are simultaneously folded and unfolded by the action of the coil springs wound along the outer side of the main body that exert pressing force on the wall by way of System control The hardware of the robot consists of an embedded controller, motor drivers, ...

subassembly. The battery is a significant portion of the total weight of robot2and is positioned substantially centrally front to back and towards the bottom of chassis6. A clamshell chassis body design allows provides sufficient volume for electronics and mechanical drive mechanisms within a ...
The invention relates generally to robotic mechanisms and, more particularly, relates to robotic mechanisms having two legs and methods of actuating. 2. Background Information Conventional electric-powered biped robots such as humanoid robots maintain balance by having large feet and actively controlling ...
However, other types of steering mechanisms are possible. For example, it is possible to reflect a laser beam off a mirror rotated about the azimuth and zenith axes. The techniques described herein are applicable, regardless of the type of steering mechanism. Several laser trackers are available...
