新型变形轮腿式移动机器人的运动学分析及设计

移动机器人作为智能勘探与侦察的自动化装备,在航天探测、军事侦察、抢险救灾等领域具有广阔的应用前景.兼具良好的机动性及越障性是移动机器人快速适应非结构化复杂环境的首要性能指标,结合轮式行进机构强机动性与腿式行进机构优越障性的变形轮腿式移动机器人受到普遍青睐.然而,现有变形轮腿式移动机器人在设计与优化方面仍存在变形形式过于复杂、设计方法缺乏理论依据等不足.针对上述问题,提出一种结构紧凑、操作简便的新型轮腿变换结构,借助电磁离合器分离运动的原理,通过改变轮-腿变形动力输入促使轮与腿相对运动,以曲柄滑块机构触发轮-腿结构径向扩展,完成由轮式变形为腿式的过程.定义变形过程中曲柄滑块机构的压力角为机动性指标、变形前后结构的展开比为越障性指标,进而开展变形结构的尺度综合,优化结果表明新型变形轮腿式移动机器人的展开比为1.92,可越过高度为150 mm的障碍物.基于优化后的尺度参数,建立变形轮腿式移动机器人越障过程的动力学模型,确定驱动电机参数,设计并制造物理样机.最终开展软件仿真与实验研究,仿真结果与理论分析结果一致,表明优化设计方法与动力学建模方法的有效性,实验结果证明所设计的变形轮腿式机器人具有...

多孔氮化硼掺杂聚吡咯-2,3,3-三甲基吲哚固相微萃取涂层的制备及多环芳烃的检测

多环芳烃(PAHs)是持久性有机污染物中的一种，大部分具有较强的致癌、致畸和致突变性，对生态环境和人类健康易造成严重威胁。由于环境样品基质复杂且其中PAHs含量低，因此在仪器分析之前需要对环境样品进行必要的前处理。萃取材料的特性是决定大部分前处理技术萃取效率的关键。基于此，本文以低成本且富含较多官能团的吡咯(py)、2,3,3-三甲基吲哚(2,3,3-TMe@In)为单体，多孔氮化硼为掺杂物，采用电化学循环伏安法制备出多孔氮化硼掺杂聚吡咯-2,3,3-三甲基吲哚(Ppy/P2,3,3-TMe@In/BN)复合涂层，通过扫描电子显微镜、热稳定性分析、傅里叶红外光谱等手段对Ppy/P2,3,3-TMe@In/BN进行表征，结果表明：该涂层呈现出多孔、多褶皱的枝状结构，该结构有利于增加涂层的比表面积，从而实现对PAHs的大量富集；在320℃解吸温度下，涂层材料的色谱基线基本稳定，表明该涂层具有良好的热稳定性。将其修饰在不锈钢丝表面制成固相微萃取涂层，结合气相色谱-氢火焰离子化检测器，对影响萃取和分离萘(NAP)、苊(ANY)、芴(FLU)3种PAHs的条件进行优化，建立了用于以上3种PAHs...     

Forthrightly monitoring ferroptosis induced by endoplasmic reticulum stresses through fluorescence lifetime imaging of microviscosity increases with a specific rotor

To test the hypothesis that the microviscosity changes of Endoplasmic Reticulum(ER) can be a useful indicator of ferroptosis promoted by ER Stresses(ERS), a new ER targeting viscosity rotor, L-Vis-1 was developed and applied in the quantitation of viscosity by FLIM imaging in live cells. The FLIM imaging exhibited an excellent resolution almost as good as the corresponding confocal imaging, more significantly, during ferroptosis processes promoted by different types of ERS, the viscosity increas...     

Numerical study of dynamic zigzag patterns in migrating epithelial tissue

Collective cell migration plays a crucial role in embryonic development, metastasis, and wound healing. Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, how the coordination between the cell motility and deformations affects the collective motion of epithelial cells is not fully understood. In this work, we propose a modified self-propelled Voronoi model for epithelial cell migration incorporating the coupling between the self-propulsion of cells and the polarization of the cell elongation. At a high coupling strength,we observe the emergence of backward traveling band structures formed by highly aligned cells, which can be regulated by cell elongations or shape anisotropy. Increasing the cell shape anisotropy, we find that large bands split into multiple small microbands. The latter essentially forms a dynamic zigzag pattern, in which the angle between the polarization direction of the bands and the migration direction switches alternatively between π/4 and-π/4 because the cells are forced to move preferentially in the anterior direction. We also analyzed the disclinations in the cell monolayer, force distribution near the domain boundaries and the shape alignment of the epithelial monolayer during the formation of this dynamic pattern. The present findings may further our understanding of stripe pattern formations in living systems and inspire potential designs for cell sorting.     

Cleavage/cross-coupling strategy for converting β-O-4 linkage lignin model compounds into high valued benzyl amines via dual C–O bond cleavage

Lignin is the most recalcitrant of the three components of lignocellulosic biomass. The strength and stability of the linkages have long been a great challenge for the degradation and valorization of lignin biomass to obtain bio-fuels and commercial chemicals. Up to now, the selective cleavage of C–O linkages of lignin to afford chemicals contains only C, H and O atoms. Our group has developed a cleavage/crosscoupling strategy for converting 4-O-5 linkage lignin model compounds into high value-a...
