MOTION RELIABILITY ANALYSIS OF A 6⁃DOF INDUSTRIAL ROBOT by LI ZiYi, DING Li, MA Rui, DUAN JinJun

“…In order to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of the end⁃effector of a six⁃degree⁃of⁃freedom industrial robot in the task space,a robot motion reliability analysis strategy based on the envelope method was proposed.Firstly,the error function and reliability model of the robot system was obtained through kinematics.Secondly,the envelope method was used to solve the reliability model to obtain the failure probability of the end⁃effector,and the error function was linearized by Taylor′s formula,while redundant points in the covariance matrix were excluded in the calculation process to make it conform to the positive definite condition and improve the accuracy of the envelope.Finally,the proposed method was simulated and analyzed.The results show that the error of the envelope method compared with the Monte Carlo method is 0.5%~19.8%,which verifies the effectiveness of the method.…”

Massive MIMO LEO Satellite Communications System by Kexin LI, Li YOU, Xiqi GAO

“…Extending massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique to low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication systems enables satellites to implement fl exible beamforming, which can make full use of the spatial degrees of freedom of massive MIMO and signifi cantly improve the spectral effi ciency and energy effi ciency of LEO satellite communication systems.Several related issues in massive MIMO-based LEO satellite communication systems were studied.The characteristics of massive MIMO LEO satellite channels were analyzed.The important diff erences between them and terrestrial wireless channels were revealed.With the aim of addressing the problems on channel information acquisition, multi-user transmission and user scheduling in massive MIMO LEO satellite communication, the main difficulties faced by the current work were discussed, and how to use the characteristics of massive MIMO LEO satellite channels to design tailored solutions with low implement complexity was conceived.…”

Mechanism Kinematics Analysis of Two-leg Shield Hydraulic Support by Wang Hongwei, Dong Zhifeng

“…As a multi-linkage mechanism with multi-degree of freedom,the two-leg shield hydraulic support is comprised of beams,fore and rear links and hydraulic cylinders.It can realize supporting roof,protecting coal wall and moving forward under the function of hydraulic power,and plays an important role in coal mining.According to structure and operating characteristics of the two-leg shield hydraulic support,the geometrical relationship and calculations about rear link angle and shield beam angle for the supporting height,head distance,leg length and balance cylinder length are deduced.The differential equation of motion for the hydraulic support is established by the Lagrangian theory,and the support type of ZY17300/32/70 is calculated and analyzed.The relationship between angle displacement and velocity for the rear link angle and shield beam angle along with the motion characteristic of supporting height is obtained.The response characteristics of motion velocity and acceleration for top beam are discussed during the working process of lifting up and down.…”
