However, the analysis of how compliant joints in linkage mechanism can reduce the energy consumption isn＇t still studied deeply. In a mobile service robot head, the actions of blinking the eyes and moving the eyeballs are realized by the planar linkage mechanism respectively. Therefore, minimizing the driving torques through motion trajectories for the linkage mechanism, which will be beneficial to extend the working time for mobile service robots. The dynamic modeling of the linkage mechanism with springs-loaded compliant joint is established. An optimization procedure for obtaining the optimal parameters of springs is proposed for minimizing the max value of driving torques within a range of desired operating conditions. The Simulations prove that the linkage mechanism with compliant joints can effectively reduce the driving torques, and reduce the energy consumption consequently. The framework can also be applied in other similar applications to reduce the driving torque and save energy. Compared with previous efforts, this is the first attempt that the linkage mechanism with complaint joint is applied in the robot head for reducing the driving torque.展开更多

Under the circumstances, a 12/14 BSRM with hybrid stator pole has been proposed due to its high output torque density and excellent decoupling characteristics between torque and suspension force. However, this motor has torque dead-zone, which leads to problems of self-start at some rotor positions and large torque ripple during normal operation. To solve the existing problems in the 12/14 type, an asymmetric rotor pole type BSRM is proposed. The structure and design process of the proposed motor is presented in detail. The characteristics of the proposed motor is analyzed and compared with that of the 12/14 type. Furthermore, prototype of the proposed structure is designed, manufactured and experimented. Finally, simulation and test results are illustrated and analyzed to prove the validity of the proposed structure.展开更多

To reduce the torque ripple and speed fluctuation of the machine, we investigate an exponential response electrical pole-changing method for five-phase IM with a current sliding-mode control strategy. This control strategy employs the dual-plane （dr-q1 and d2-q2） vector control method, which allows the IM to operate under different pole modes. Current sliding-mode controllers are applied instead of conventional proportional integral （PI） controllers to adjust the current vectors, and exponential current response achieves a smooth transition between the d1-q1 and d2-q2 planes. Compared with the step response pole-changing with PI control method, the proposed pole-changing method greatly reduces the torque ripple and speed fluctuation of the IM during the pole-changing process. Experimental results verify the ex- ceptional performance of the proposed electrical pole-changing strategy.展开更多
