    Design and Dimensional Optimization of a Novel Walking Mechanism With Firefly Algorithm
    (Springer Netherlands, 2018) Selvi, Ö.; Yavuz, S.
    In this paper, a walking mechanism named Atlas is proposed which is a Watt-I type 6 link mechanism. First, the geometry is proposed and then kinematic analysis is done that will be used for the synthesis problem. Furthermore, constraints and an objective function are obtained from kinematic analysis. Then, these constraints are implemented to the Firefly Algorithm and dimensional parameters are obtained for a desired step profile. Finally, these dimensional parameters are tested. © Springer International Publishing AG 2018.

    Design and Optimization of a Walking Over-Constrained Mechanism
    (Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2019) Ceccarelli, M.; Selvi, Ö.
    In this paper, a walking overconstrained mechanism with one DoF is presented. Firstly, its dimensional parameters and geometry are shown and a step profile which is wanted to be followed by end point of the walking mechanism is proposed. Kinematic equations of the walking mechanism are extracted to use them later as constraints for Firefly Algorithm. Algorithm is run in get the optimized dimensional parameters to provide the desired step profile. Results are presented. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    Effects of Earthquake Motion on Mechanism Operation: an Experimental Approach
    (Levrotto and Bella, 2015) Selvi, Ö.; Selvi, Özgün; Ceccarelli, M.; Aytar, E.B.; Makine Mühendisliği
    This paper presents an experimental characterization of the effects of earthquakes on the operation of mechanical systems with the help of CaPaMan (Cassino Parallel Manipulator), which is a 3 DOF robot that can fairly well simulate 3D earthquake motion. The sensitivity of operation characteristics of machinery to earthquake disturbance is identified and characterized through experimental tests. Experimental tests have been carried out by using a slider-crank linkage, a small car model, and LARM Hand as test-bed mechanisms that have been sensored with proper acceleration or force sensors. Results are reported and discussed to describe the effects of earthquake motion on the characteristics of mechanism operation as a service application of the robotic CaPaMan system.
