The first prototype of cable-driven mechanisms is RoboCrane, which was developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Then many excellent properties were developed and they have a variety of applications such as aerospace, aircraft and automobile industries [1]. Example application for RoboCrane in the field of aircraft mainte- nance is equipped with a quick-change mechanism to remove the robot arm remotely.展开更多

Four classical numerical methods of calculating the underwater sound field gener- ated by an airborne source, i.e., the ray theory, the wave solution, the normal-mode theory and the wavenumber integration approach, are introduced. Effects of two special conditions, i.e., the moving airborne source or medium and the rough air-water interface, on the air-to-water sound transmission are reviewed. In experimental studies, the depth and range distributions of the underwater sound field created by different kinds of airborne sources in near-field and far-field, the longitudinal horizontal correlation of underwater sound field and application methods for inverse problems are reviewed.展开更多

In recent years control problems have been arising with increasing frequency in widely different areas, which cannot be addressed using conventional control techniques. The principal reason for this is the fact that a highly competitive economy is forcing systems to operate in regimes where presence of large uncertainties as well as nonlinearities plays a major role. For instance, the design of unmanned aircraft, unmanned underwater vehicles, and automatic driving systems for automobiles are all typical examples of such difficult control problems. The large uncertainties concerning the plant may arise due to large external disturbances, large parameter variations because of faults in the system, or failure of some of the subsystems. In such cases, the controller has to determine the specific situation that exists at any instant, and take the appropriate control action. Accomplishing this rapidly, accurately, and in a stable fashion is the objective of control design.展开更多
