Research on Assembly Robots Based on Flexible Control Technology
Article thumbnail
Industrial robots play a vital role in modern production automation, especially in improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs. However, traditional robot position control methods often have difficulty coping with complex assembly tasks, especially in changing environments. To solve this problem, flexible control technology has emerged, which can dynamically adjust the state of the robot according to the force applied by the external environment, thereby effectively avoiding rigid collisions and improving the accuracy and safety of the robot. This paper summarizes recent research on force-aware control in scenarios of shaft-hole assembly, including improvements to traditional force-position hybrid control and the introduction of intelligent control principles. This technique has significantly improved the efficiency and success rate of the alignment and loading phases. However, the high cost of force-aware control and data transmission limitations remain challenges. Future research should focus on improving system flexibility, expanding application scope and optimizing the underlying hardware to drive robotics towards intelligence and refinement

With the rapid advancement of technology and the growing scarcity of energy resources, finding effective ways to reduce power consumption has become increasingly crucial. Hybrid and electric vehicles play a vital role in this endeavor, warranting deeper exploration and focus. In this study, I utilized AVL-Cruise software, a powerful tool for simulation and data modeling, to conduct comprehensive simulations of hybrid and electric vehicle performance, with a specific focus on analyzing the FTP72 cycle.The simulation results are highly encouraging. The vehicle achieved a maximum speed of 164 km/h, an acceleration rate of 3 m/s², a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds, and a maximum climbing slope of approximately 74%. These figures not only demonstrate that hybrid and electric vehicles can meet performance expectations but also highlight their capability to deliver on key metrics. Furthermore, the total energy consumption was recorded at 4200 kJ, underscoring the efficiency of these vehicles.In addition to the simulation outcomes, I delved into various factors that influence vehicle performance, including vehicle mass, drag coefficient, and motor power.Using MATLAB, I conducted a detailed analysis of the relationships between these factors and energy consumption, incorporating residual analysis and deriving a mathematical equation to describe these interactions.Through this extensive data analysis and model fitting, we gain a deeper understanding of hybrid and electric vehicle dynamics. This research not only contributes to the field but also has the potential to drive further development, broadening the focus and scope of hybrid and electric vehicle technology

Influence of SiC MOSFET Drive Control Parameters on Short Circuit Characteristics
Article thumbnail
This paper focuses on the short-circuit characteristics of SiC MOSFETs. The SiC MOSFET, categorized as a third-generation wide bandgap power semiconductor, shows significant promise for use in high-voltage applications. Short-circuit faults are categorized into hard-switch short circuits and load short circuits. The drive parameters, including Gate Resistance, Gate-Source Voltage, and DC Bus Voltage, significantly affect the short-circuit characteristics. Increasing Gate Resistance can slow down the rise rate and peak value of short-circuit current, reducing the risk of device damage, although too much Gate Resistance will slow down the switching speed. Raising the Gate-Source Voltage increases the short-circuit current peak and accelerates the rise time, but too high a Gate-Source Voltage increases the risk of device damage. The DC Bus Voltage does not have a significant effect on the short-circuit current but primarily influences the Gate-Source Voltage. Studying the influence of drive parameters on short-circuit characteristics is crucial for optimizing design and improving system stability

Article thumbnail
In response to the health assurance challenges faced by the elderly population in China’s aging society and to mitigate the shortage of medical resources while improving the rehabilitation rate of patients with central nervous system injuries, research on lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robots has been widely conducted. Since the 1960s, countries such as Switzerland, the United States, the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, and China have successively developed relatively mature standing and recumbent lower limb exoskeleton systems. This paper builds the kinematic and dynamic models of a lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot based on a two-link mechanism, laying the theoretical foundation and implementation approach for processing position, velocity, and torque sensor signals in human-machine interaction control. Based on domestic and international progress as well as kinematic and dynamic analysis, four types of human-machine interaction control technologies—trajectory tracking control, force-position hybrid control, impedance control, and bioelectrical signal control—are thoroughly analyzed, providing a technical framework for engineering implementation. In the future, lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robots will integrate lightweight materials and structural design, intelligent adaptive algorithms, and environmental perception technologies, utilizing low-cost open-source platforms to optimize human-machine interaction control technology for more efficient, safe, and personalized rehabilitation training

In response to the existing issues of poor anti-offset performance and insufficient width of the matchable voltage range at the DC end in the current bidirectional wireless power transfer (BWPT) system for electric vehicles, an efficient wireless bidirectional charging and discharging system for electric vehicles based on the LCC-S compensation network is proposed. Compared with the topological structure of the traditional two-stage wireless bidirectional charging and discharging system, this system adds a DC-DC module in the on-board equipment, while the BWPT link adopts the LCC-S compensation topology. Moreover, this system realizes DC side voltage matching and transmission power regulation through the DC converter on the vehicle side. Under the premise of no control-level data communication between the primary and secondary sides, it achieves efficient, stable and reliable wireless bidirectional charging and discharging control. Finally, the working characteristics of the proposed system are tested through experiments. The results indicate that the system can maintain efficient, stable and reliable bidirectional operation under the conditions of a large offset range and wide voltage range at the DC side
