Rolling Resistance: Problem Solving

Rolling Resistance: Problem Solving

Rolling resistance, also known as rolling friction, is the force that resists the motion of a rolling object, such as a wheel, tire, or ball, when it moves over a surface. It is caused by the deformation of the object and the surface in contact with each other, as well as other factors like internal friction, hysteresis, and energy losses within the materials. Rolling resistance opposes the object's motion, requiring additional energy to overcome it and maintain movement. In practical...

Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes-Problem Solving

Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes-Problem Solving

Consider a crane whose telescopic boom rotates with an angular velocity of 0.04 rad/s and angular acceleration of 0.02 rad/s2. Along with the rotation, the boom also extends linearly with a uniform speed of 5 m/s. The extension of the boom is measured at point D, which is measured with respect to the fixed point C on the other end of the boom. For the given instant, the distance between points C and D is 60 meters.
Here, in order to determine the magnitude of velocity and acceleration for point...

Robotics
Computer Vision
Biomimetics

Background:

Reconfigurable robots require sophisticated perception systems to adapt locomotion to diverse environments.
The huntsman spider (Cebrenus Rechenburgi) exhibits versatile locomotion, serving as inspiration for robotic development.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate an object-of-interest perception system for a reconfigurable rolling-crawling robot.
To enable the robot to identify appropriate locomotion modes (rolling or crawling) based on environmental perception.

Main Methods:

A reconfigurable robot, Scorpio, with rolling and crawling capabilities was utilized.
A Pyramid Scene Parsing Network (PSPNet) was trained on a custom dataset distinguishing unobstructed and obstructed paths.
The framework was evaluated using mean Intersection over Union (mIOU) in offline and real-time tests.

Main Results:

The trained PSPNet achieved mIOU scores of 72.28% (offline) and 70.63% (online).
The proposed framework outperformed semantic segmentation benchmarks (HRNet, Deeplabv3) in mIOU and speed.
The system demonstrated stable robot maneuverability and accurate locomotion mode selection in complex pathways.

Conclusions:

The developed perception framework effectively guides locomotion mode selection in reconfigurable robots.
Biomimetic approaches, inspired by spiders, can lead to advanced robotic capabilities.
The system offers enhanced accuracy and efficiency for robots navigating varied terrains.
