Control of a Discrete Planar Tentacle Robot
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2011, Vol 12, Issue 33
Abstract
The paper deals with a special class of robotic arm, the tentacle robot. First, the discrete dynamic model of the tentacle arm is analyzed. The dynamic model of the hyper-redundant arm with continuum elements in conjunction with the electro-rheological fluid is discussed and the discrete planar model based to the nonlinear observer will be developed. Also, numerical simulations of the arm motion are presented.

Evolution of the Solid Fraction at the Solidification of a 0.1 %C Steel
To achieve mathematical models and software for solidification simulation casted pieces it is necessary to know the fraction of the solid variation at solidification. In the case of the alloys form solid solution by soli...
Comparison between Casting Solidification Simulation in Cylindrical Coordinates and in Cartesian Coordinates
Two software modules for solidification simulating of eutectic alloy castings were done at Transylvania University of Brasov. The first of them 3D-SIM EUT is based on finite difference mathematical model in Cartesian coo...
