Modeling and Control of Casterboard Robot

Modeling and Control of Casterboard Robot

In this paper, we propose a robotic model of a casterboard, which is a commercial variants of skateboards with twistable footplates and passive inclined caster wheels. We then derive its mathematical model in the form of nonlinear state equation; this system is of much interest from both mechanical and control points of view as a new challenging example of nonholonomic mechanics. Based on the o...

Backward and forward path following control of a wheeled robot

A wheeled mobile robot is one of the most important types of mobile robots. A subcategory of these robots is wheeled robots towing trailer(s). Motion control problem, especially in backward motion is one of the challenging research topics in this field. In this article, a control algorithm for path-following problem of a tractor-trailer system is provided, which at the same time provides the ab...

Biomimetic walking robot SCORPION: Control and modeling

We present the biomimetic control scheme for the walking robot SCORPION. We used a concept of Basic Motion Patterns, which can be combined in a very flexible manner. In addition our modeling and simulation approach is described, which has been done based on the ADAMS(TM) simulator. Especially the motion patterns of real scorpions were analyzed and used for walking patterns and acceleration of t...

the relationship between locus of control, efl reading and writing achievement, and use of language learning strategies

تاثیر منبع کنترل رفتار بر روی موفقیت تحصیلی زبان آموزان انگلیسی بندرت در ایران ارزیابی شده است. هدف این تحقیق ارزیابی رابطه بین منبع کنترل رفتار زبان آموزان انگلیسی و موفقیت آنها در مهارت های خواندن و نوشتن زبان انگلیسی است. محقق همچنین رابطه بین منبع کنترل رفتار و راهبردهای یادگیری زبان انگلیسی را در این تحقیق جستجو می کند. بدین منظور محقق ابتدا نسخه فارسی پرسشنامه منبع کنترل رفتار (duttweiler...
