Abstract The small uncertainties of geometric parameters of industrial robot, which are caused by links manufacturing and service wear errors, can deteriorate the positioning accuracy of end-effector through multi-level propagation and is difficult to be measured and compensated by high-precision instruments. Hence, an efficient inverse identification method of parameter uncertainty based on global sensitivity analysis and optimal measurement point selection is proposed. In order to ensure the universality of identification results in calibration and control works, the standard Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) method is employed to establish the kinematic model of series 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) robots. Considering the stochastic error between… More >

Abstract With the development of urbanization, the problem of neurological diseases brought about by population aging has gradually become a social problem of worldwide concern. Aging leads to gradual degeneration of the central nervous system, shrinkage of brain tissue, and decline in physical function in many elderlies, making them susceptible to neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), stroke, Parkinson’s and major depressive disorder (MDD). Due to the influence of these neurological diseases, the elderly have troubles such as memory loss, inability to move, falling, and getting lost, which seriously affect their quality of life. Tracking and positioning of elderly with… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This paper addresses the problem of assessing and optimizing the acoustic positioning system for underwater target localization with range measurement. We present a new three-dimensional assessment model to evaluate the optimal geometric beacon formation whether meets user requirements. For mathematical tractability, it is assumed that the measurements of the range between the target and beacons are corrupted with white Gaussian noise with variance, which is distance-dependent. Then, the relationship between DOP parameters and positioning accuracy can be derived by adopting dilution of precision (DOP) parameters in the assessment model. In addition, the optimal geometric beacon formation yielding the best performance… More >
