The main contribution of this paper is to establish the dynamic model of the reconfigurable parallel mechanism, a versatile robotic system capable of adapting its configuration to different tasks. The dynamic model facilitates the analysis of the dynamic performance of the mechanism. This comprehensive dynamic model serves as a valuable tool for control algorithm development and the performance optimization of reconfigurable parallel mechanisms in diverse applications.

A time-varying reliability model of parallel systems consisting of beams with crack flaws is developed, considering the dynamic interaction between stress correlation, crack extension correlation, strength degradation correlation, and the random load redistribution. The model can quantitatively analyze the effects of crack extension, strength degradation, load sharing, random load redistribution, and other factors on the time-varying system reliability.

A flexible endoscopic robot is designed to solve the problem that it is difficult to maintain a stable visual field in traditional endoscopic surgery. The main contribution of this research is to realize the motion planning and primary–secondary teleoperation control of the flexible endoscope robot under remote center motion constraints on the basis of its structure and select the appropriate deep learning algorithm to complete the autonomous tracking function. 

In this paper, a novel series three-axis stable platform (STSP) is proposed, and its azimuth angle structure, pitch angle structure, roll angle structure, system control scheme, and control strategy are designed. The main function of this stable platform is to isolate the influence of installation carrier movement or external interference and to provide a stable working environment for equipment installed on the stable platform by establishing a stable reference plane.

In this study, we systematically improved the multi-robot formation control algorithm. We employed a virtual spring approach to stabilize formations, enhanced the Velocity Obstacle algorithm to address collisions in dynamic mobility, and introduced a leader for consistency. Simulations with up to 20 robots confirmed our method's suitability for large-scale formation obstacle avoidance. Position error and path length remained stable as robot numbers increased.

Projection is one of the most fundamental operations of polytopes, and it is widely used in the field of control and optimization. The Equality Set Projection algorithm is a promising method for projection calculation, but it has some shortcomings under the condition of dual degeneracy In this paper. Two improvements are presented to make the Equality Set Projection algorithm become simpler, faster, and easier to implement in the case of dual degeneracy.

The paper shows that the attitude vector expression for the rod can decrease the difficulty of derivation and expression of the dynamics model. Variation theory can package the closed-loop pose–attitude constraint in the dynamics model, so the constraint does not need to be considered explicitly. Using the geometry modelling method to build the dynamics model of a four-bar mechanism can avoid the repetitive operation of the closed-loop constraint. 

A miniaturized statically balanced compliant mechanism is proposed as a structural solution to effectively lower the working frequencies of vibrational energy harvesters to ultralow levels across a wide bandwidth for practical applications. This mechanism exhibits zero stiffness and zero force within a specific displacement range and stiffness nonlinearity in the overall range. It overcomes the working frequency limit imposed by the size effect, showing great potential application value.

There are still many meteorite craters and boulders on the surface of Mars and the Moon that cannot be accessed by existing planetary exploration robots. To solve this issue, this paper proposes a four-link rocker-suspension planetary exploration robot that has both the reliability and low complexity of wheeled rovers and competent terrain adaptability and obstacle-crossing performance.

This paper investigates the vibration coupling effect and grinding force control of an elastic component grinding system, which is a multi-dimensional coupling system conveying a dynamic interaction between the elastic component and the grinding device during the grinding process. The research results have guiding significance for the vibration control and constant force control of robotic grinding systems for elastic components.

In order to meet the need for high accuracy in road spectrum reproduction of vehicle durability tests, this paper is based on analysis of factors affecting the accuracy of a test platform. The large load capacity and fully decoupled mechanism proposed in the research work of this paper can improve the road spectrum reproduction accuracy of the vehicle durability test platform and has good application prospects in the field of vehicle durability tests.

In this paper, a sliding-mode observer is combined with the voltage model of the motor to construct a closed-loop estimation of the flux linkage so that the influence of external disturbances on the system can be compensated for by the algorithm itself. On the one hand, this improves the anti-interference ability of the system. On the other hand, it also makes the calculation of flux linkage more accurate under an inaccurate initial position.

In this study, we introduce an innovative diagnostic framework tailored to industrial bearings that facilitates automated feature extraction and enables end-to-end fault detection. Our validation across multiple bearing vibration datasets confirms the framework's superiority in handling complex and non-stationary signals in industrial environments.

An electro-hydraulic servo system has the characteristics of high control accuracy and fast response so it is widely used in industrial control fields. To address the external load and disturbance problems faced in actual engineering, a dual observer is used to acquire the state and disturbance values and to provide the sliding mode controller to control the system in real time. Comparative simulations are conducted to verify the impact of the control method on the control accuracy.

This paper designed a kind of satellite deployment mechanism with a boxed structure and passive torsion joints, and dynamic reactions, including modal, impact, and harmonic  responses, are researched systematically. 

To improve the trajectory tracking control performance for robot manipulators subject to uncertainty, a generalized sliding mode controller (SMC) is designed. In the first step, it is assumed that the dynamic model of robot manipulators is precisely known, and an ideal control is designed. In the second step, a smooth-function-based SMC is designed to prevent the chattering phenomenon caused by the discontinuous function and further enhance the robustness performance.

A rope-climbing robot (RCR) can reciprocate on a rope. To address poor load capacity and adaptability, this study designs a dual-rope crawler type RCR for use as a new type of transportation equipment in hilly, mountainous, and plateau areas. The crawler rope-climbing mechanism is a combination of a chain drive and the rope-climbing foot. With overhead rope parabolic theory to kinematically analyze the RCR system, the robot motion trajectory model and tilt angle equation are established.
