The wheel effect (also called the Wagon-wheel effect) is a well-known rotation illusion in which a rotating wheel, when displayed as individual frames, appears to rotate differently from its true rotation due to temporal aliasing. In this paper, we propose several approaches to solve this problem for synthetic imagery in computer animation. First, we develop an algorithm to compute the frame nu...

Abstract As for the efficient and high-precision grinding of blades, it was studied that a flexible path planning method abrasive cloth wheel blades. In paper, based on modified Preston equation, radial material removal depth model is supplemented, which provides theoretical support establishment wheel. After obtaining envelope surface by double parameter sphere family method, deformation amoun...

A reliability study based on a Bayesian semi-parametric framework is performed in order to explore the impact of the position of a locomotive wheel on its service lifetime and to predict its other reliability characteristics. A piecewise constant hazard regression model is used to analyse the lifetime of locomotive wheels using degradation data and taking into account the bogie on which the whe...

This paper applies our developed novice users oriented force feedback steering wheel interface and mouse interface to navigating a tank type rescue robot. By analyzing merits and limitation of operating each interface, we propose a combined navigation strategy by the two interfaces. The steering wheel interface consists of a force feedback steering control and a six monitors’ wall. Through this...

In agriculture, a typical task is to do a coverage operation for a field. Coverage path planning algorithms can be used to create the path for a vehicle. In case of an autonomous agricultural vehicle, the path is provided to the guidance or navigation system that steers the vehicle. In this paper, a four wheel steered tractor is used in autonomous sowing operation. The full size tractor is equi...

In this paper a control strategy of Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is proposed. The vehicle movement controlled by an inboard PLC do not need physical guide. The vehicle has 3 wheels. The front wheel is used for steering and driving. The 2 rear wheels are free and equipped with 2 encoders. The strategy is based on 2 main purposes: the path is stored in the PLC memory and the vehicle displacemen...
