Locomotion Systems for Search and Rescue Robots
Journal Title: Robotica & Management - Year 2019, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
In the first part of the paper the authors present some aspects regarding search and rescue robots, factors that might influence their design process and they are proposing several locomotion systems. The second part of the paper shows the search and rescue robots that use the proposed locomotion system. The end of the paper presents simulations of the proposed robots traveling on different surfaces.

Integrated Design and Approach of Building Maintenance Management in the Built Environment
Building maintenance is such a crucial aspect in the construction industry. The construction industry is characterized as a project-based industry that delivers one of a kind products and services. Thus, building mainten...
Validation of a Criterion for Cam Mechanisms Optimization Using Constraints upon Cam’s Curvature
For the mechanism with rotating cam and knife-edge follower, an optimization criterion by means of imposed constraints upon cam’s curvature is expressed in a special coordinate system. Thus, stating the optimization crit...
Movement Control Using Eye-Tracking Technology
The paper presents a study for controlling a wheelchair with the operator’s eyes, mainly developed for a person with general locomotor disability. Because the high costs of 2 servomotors capable to move a wheelchair with...
New Planar Mechanisms for the Legs of Quadruped Mobile Robots
This paper presents two new kinematic schemes of articulated planar mechanisms used as the leg of a quadruped mobile robot. These mechanisms consist of 5 mobile kinematic elements, as compared to the Jansen mechanism, wh...
Genetic Algorithm Implementation for Optimizing Linear Quadratic Algorithm to Control Acrobot Robotic System
Acrobot is a robotic system with some under actuated degree. In order to control Acrobot at the upright position, designers have to create appropriate algorithms. In this paper, authors propose Linear Quadratic Regulator...
