  • Publication number: 20250065508
    Abstract: A zero calibration method includes: adding, based on a first forward kinematics model of a robotic arm of a robot, zero deviations of each joint to form a second forward kinematics model, and simultaneously solving the second forward kinematics model and the first forward kinematics model to obtain an end deviation function; sending target end pose instructions to the robotic arm in a current zero point situation, and acquiring a spatial deviation of an actual position of an end; inputting position information of each joint angle and the spatial deviation, after each stop of motion of the end, into the end deviation function, and performing phase shifting to obtain an objective optimization function; and solving the objective optimization function to obtain a zero deviation value.

  • Publication number: 20230345920
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an insect-rice symbiotic comprehensive planting and breeding method mainly based on tylorrhynchus proliferation. The planting method comprises: paddy field selection; field layout; soil preparation and fertilization; stocking of Tylorrhynchuss and seedlings; management of Tylorrhynchus proliferation; rice planting; field management; water level control; rice harvesting; Tylorrhynchus capturing. The present disclosure employs a comprehensive breeding mode of symbiosis between Tylorrhynchuss and rice. By first proliferating the Tylorrhynchuss in the rice field and then planting rice, it can simulate the growth environment of the Tylorrhynchuss in the field to the greatest extent, and give full play to the mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship between Tylorrhynchuss and rice, the rotten g rice roots, stems and leaves can provide food for the Tylorrhynchuss.

  • Patent number: 10239191
    Abstract: A dual fastener manipulation device may be used to manipulate two fasteners, having the same rotational axis, which may be separated by various distances and various sized objects. The dual fastener manipulation device may include a first wrench having a first fastener engaging head, a first handle, and a pivot stud. A second wrench element may have a second fastener engaging head and a second handle. A pivot linkage may be pivotally coupled to the pivot stud, and a floating stud may be coupled to both the second wrench and to the pivot linkage. The first and second fastener engaging heads may be engaged to two fasteners having the same rotational axis, while the pivot linkage and floating stud may maintain the rotational axis of the fastener engaging heads, while also allowing the fastener engaging heads to be moved closer to or farther from each other.

  • Patent number: 8770908
    Abstract: A support structure for a tilt cylinder of a machine that controls movement of an articulating implement may include a mounting plate, vertical support plates extending outwardly from a top surface of the mounting plate, and a central and side gussets connected to the top surface of the mounting plate and to the outer sides of the vertical support plates. The gussets assist in transitioning lateral or horizontal forces on the vertical support plates to the mounting plate and the end frame of the machine to reduce fatigue cracking at the points of connection of the vertical support plates to the mounting plate. The support structure may further include first and second lower support plates having top edges spaced from each other and connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate, and bottom edges connected to each other so that the lower support plates and the mounting plate form a triangle in cross-section to further assist in transitioning the forces to the end frame.
