“…Normally, it is difficult to evaluate a product's environmental footprint during the concept design phase, since there may only be a rough idea of the solution without adequate and accurate operational data [25]. To solve this problem, Song and Lee [26] developed a low carbon product system that includes GHG-BOM (Bill of Material), estimation of the product's GHG emissions, identification of problematics parts.…”

A product environmental footprint is a multi-criteria measure for environmental sustainability. Most of these environmental criteria are either synergies (non-trade-offs) or compromises (trade-offs) within environmental metrics. This forms a multi-objective problem of supply chain network design. The product environmental footprint is an aid or tool that enterprises may use to measure and improve the life cycle environmental performance of their products. In this research, a multi-criteria method, Pareto optimization, is used to design a supply chain network based on the results of a product environmental footprint. In Pareto optimization, two objectives are formulated: Environmental impact and cost. Using the results of this research, designers will be able to choose a material with a lower environmental impact and supply chain managers will be able to select suppliers with lower environmental impacts. A case study of industry practice is also analyzed. It shows an environmental footprint is useful for the supply chain design network.

“…However, it is difficult to achieve a solution assessment of the product's environmental footprint by unconfirmed product information in conceptual design. 106 He et al 107 are working on a product carbon footprint estimation model based on unascertained mathematical theory. The product carbon footprint of the modular underactuated exoskeleton robotic mechanism is given as an example to illustrate the proposed method.…”

Underactuated robotics is an emerging research direction in the field of robotics. The control input of the underactuated robot is less than the degree of freedom of the system. It has the advantages of lightweight, low energy consumption, excellent performance, and broad development prospects. This article reviews the state of the art on underactuated robotics. On the basis of previous studies, this article takes the non-holonomic constraint equation as the entry point to classify and summarize underactuated robot and their common mechanisms. The controllability of underactuated robot is further discussed. The control flow of underactuated robot is described based on the open-closed control method. In the closed-loop control, the control method based on the fuzzy system is mainly used. Finally, the difficulties in the current research of underactuated robot are summarized, and the future research directions are prospected.

“…In our lab, we have achieved the following process. [5][6][7] Firstly, the functional requirements of the deplorable structure are analyzed, and the mode of unfolding is selected. According to the existing onorbit assembly technology, the unfolding process of the deplorable structure is decomposed, and then, design the scheme of the movement decomposition.…”
