Wheel Load Variation in Coupled Motion Between Wheel and Flexible Track with Short-Wave Irregularity

Wall Climbing Robots with Track-wheel Mechanism

This paper presents a family of climbing robots that are using a track-wheel mechanism for locomotion mechanism. There are three robots: High speed vertical climbing robot, Flexible caterpillar robot, and Multi-linked climbing robot. The high speed vertical climbing robot uses suction pads to be attached on walls, and the robot has an advantage of high climbing speed of 14 m/min. The flexible c...

AZIMUT, a leg-track-wheel robot

AZIMUT is a mobile robotic platform that combines wheels, legs and tracks to move in three-dimensional environments. The robot is symmetrical and is made of four independent leg-track-wheel articulations. It can move with its articulations up, down or straight, or to move sideways without changing the robot's orientation. To validate the concept, the rst prototype developed measures 70.5 cm 70....

Total vertex irregularity strength of wheel related graphs

For a simple graph G with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G), a labeling φ : V (G) ∪ E(G) −→ {1, 2, . . . , k} is called a vertex irregular total klabeling of G if for any two different vertices x and y, their weights wt(x) ∗ The work was supported by the Higher Education Commission Pakistan. 148 A. AHMAD, K.M. AWAN, I. JAVAID AND SLAMIN and wt(y) are distinct. The weight wt(x) of a vertex x in...

Motion Rectification for an Homeostasis-Enabling Wheel

A wheel that is capable of producing thrust and maintaining vehicle internal integrity is presented. The wheel can be seen as an organic extension to the central unit (eg the vehicle) it is attached to, that is, the system and the wheel can be completely surrounded by the same tegument while enabling continuous wheel rotation without tearing the tegument. Furthermore, a skeleton linking the cen...
