灰色系统建模理论在机床主轴疲劳寿命设计中的应用研究

运用灰色系统的理论及方法，将疲劳应力与寿命的相互制约关系看成一个灰色系统，将疲劳试验的应力水平均匀分成数级，并找出与之对应的安全寿命的白化值。通过对安全寿命值数列的一次累加，生成一个光滑离散函数。据此建立灰色系统模型，并求解灰色系统的微分方程 。通过残差模型的修正，提高模型精度，再运用灰色系统模型的还原模型，可计算出任一应力水平下的安全寿命值。为机床主轴的安全寿命计算提供了新的途径，具有较大的推广应用价值。

A machine vision approach to seam tracking in real-time in PAW of large-diameter stainless steel tube

Manual monitoring and seam tracking through watching weld pool images in real-time, by naked eyes or by industrial TV, are experience-depended, subjective, labor intensive, and sometimes biased. So it is necessary to realize the automation of computer-aided seam tracking. A PAW (plasma arc welding) seam tracking system was developed, which senses the molten pool and the seam in one frame by a vision sensor, and then detects the seam deviation to adjust the work piece motion adaptively to the seam position sensed by vision sensor. A novel molten pool area image-processing algorithm based on machine vision was proposed. The algorithm processes each image at the speed of 20 frames/second in real-time to extract three feature variables to get the seam deviation. It is proved experimentally that the algorithm is very fast and effective. Issues related to the algorithm are also discussed.

Advanced experimental and numerical methods for the analysis of the dynamic forming press behavior

Numerical simulations are used to estimate the dynamic behavior of new concepts of forming presses as well as to improve the dynamic properties of existing machines. These simulations are to be parametrized with appropriate values in order to yield most accurate results. In many cases neither the way of building up the simulation model for the specific problem nor an appropriate method for gathering the needed date are given in advance. Regarding these facts this paper intends both to characterize the way of building up complex simulation models by using basic simulation modules and to describe methods for the identification of the needed parameters that work even under conditions that hitherto made parameter identifications impossible or at least very time-consuming. In this context recent developments in simulating press dynamics will also be characterized as new modal analysis methods that are not yet established in the field of forming technique. The research activities were financed by the European Research Association for Sheet Metal Working.     

Host odor and visual stimulus interaction during intratree host finding behavior ofRhagoletis pomonella flies

Responses ofRhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) (Diptera: Tephritidae) flies to host fruit visual stimuli (apples or models of apples) and chemical stimuli (synthetic apple volatile blend) were studied in semidwarf field-caged apple trees. Three different fruit or model densities (1, 4, or 16 fruit or models/ tree) and two odor release rates [ca. 0.7g/hr (close to the natural release rate of a ripe apple) and ca. 500g/hr (amount of odor released by commercially sold apple maggot traps)] were tested. Individually released flies were followed as they moved within a tree for a maximum of 20 min. We recorded three-dimensional search paths followed by foraging flies and computed such variables as total relative distance traveled before alighting on a fruit or model, track length between individual alightment sites, and directness of flight to fruits or models. Effect of odor on propensity to alight on fruit or models and host-searching behavior prior to alighting on fruit or on models varied according to fruit or model color and density. If the fruit visual stimulus was strong (e.g., red color), odor did not increase the probability of finding fruit or fruit models. As the visual stimulus became progressively weaker (red to green to clear), odor (irrespective of concentration) appeared to aid flies during the fruit-finding process. As density of fruit or models increased, the probability of flies finding a fruit or model also increased (e.g., 50% of flies found a red fruit model at 1 model/tree while 90% found a red model at 16 models/tree; 4% of flies found a clear model with odor at 1 model/tree while 35% found a clear model with odor at 16 models/tree). Findings reported elsewhere indicate thatR. pomonella flies are able to discover a point source of odor (an odor-bearing tree in a patch of trees) by flying upwind (in the tree patch) in response to intermittent exposure to odor. Findings here indicate that after arrival on a host tree (point source), flies discover individual apparent and abundant host fruit on the basis of vision. If fruit are less apparent or scarce, odor appears to interact with vision during the fruit-finding process.

多摄像机系统广泛应用于文化创意产业,其高精度标定是迫切需要解决的一个关键问题. 新近出现的摄像机一维标定方法能够克服标定物自身遮挡,特别适合标定多摄像机系统. 然而,现有的摄像机一维标定研究主要集中在降低一维标定物的运动约束,而标定精度较低的问题未受到应有的关注. 本文提出一种基于变量含异质噪声 （Heteroscedastic error-in-variables,HEIV）模型的高精度摄像机一维标定方法. 首先,推导出摄像机一维标定的计算模型;其次,利用该计算模型详细分析了一维标定中的噪声,得出摄像机一维标定可以视为一个HEIV问题的结论;最后给出了基于HEIV模型的摄像机一维标定算法. 与现有的算法相比,该方法可以显著改善一维标定的精度,并且受初始值影响小,收敛速度快. 实验结果验证了该方法的正确性和可行性.     

An open-source multi-DOF articulated robotic educational platform for autonomous object manipulation

This research presents an autonomous robotic framework for academic, vocational and training purpose. The platform is centred on a 6 Degree Of Freedom (DOF) serial robotic arm. The kinematic and dynamic models of the robot have been derived to facilitate controller design. An on-board camera to scan the arm workspace permits autonomous applications development. The sensory system consists of position feedback from each joint of the robot and a force sensor mounted at the arm gripper. External devices can be interfaced with the platform through digital and analog I/O ports of the robot controller. To enhance the learning outcome for beginners, higher level commands have been provided. Advanced users can tailor the platform by exploiting the open-source custom-developed hardware and software architectures. The efficacy of the proposed platform has been demonstrated by implementing two experiments; autonomous sorting of objects and controller design. The proposed platform finds its potential to teach technical courses (like Robotics, Control, Electronics, Image-processing and Computer vision) and to implement and validate advanced algorithms for object manipulation and grasping, trajectory generation, path planning, etc. It can also be employed in an industrial environment to test various strategies prior to their execution on actual manipulators.
