Fuzzy Reliability Optimal Design of Multi-stage Planetary Gear Train with Multi-objective by Hao Liping

“…The problem of randomness and fuzziness of mechanical design could effectively dealed with through the fuzzy reliability optimization design which established by the combination of fuzzy mathematics method and mechanical optimization technique.Taking the multi-stage planetary gear train as research object,the optimization and allocation of transmission ratio is implemented by the conventional optimization design method.On this basis,taking the fuzzy reliability constraints as the main constraint condition,the volume,transmission efficiency and contact ratio as object,the multi-objective fuzzy reliability optimization mathematical model is established.Then the fuzzy reliability optimization design is transformed into conventional reliability optimization design through the multistage fuzzy comprehensive evaluation,and the optimization design is carried out by using Matlab optimization toolbox.…”

New Joint Design to Create a More Natural and Efficient Biped by Giuseppina Gini, Umberto Scarfogliero, Michele Folgheraiter

“…Starting from the analysis of the human lower limbs, we figured out which features of the human legs are fundamental for a correct walking motion, and can be adopted in the mechanical design of a humanoid robot. We focus here on the knee, designed as a compliant human-like knee instead of a classical pin-joint, and on the foot, characterised by the mobility and lightness of the human foot. …”
