The Motion Control of Clothes Model Robot and Measurement of Clothes Energy Consumption

Abstract

This paper designs a measurement system of energy consumption for clothes model controlled by robot technology, the system uses DC motor regulated by PWM regulator to drive the worm wheel reducer and the sinusoidal mechanism, then to drive the robot legs to swing forward and backward in sinusoidal step. The sensors detect the rotation speed and torque of the sinusoidal mechanism, the power and energy consumption. The experiments show the system is high in accuracy, excellent in repetition, and suitable for the further research on the principle and evaluation system of the clothes energy consumption.

Research on the experiment and prediction method of clothing energy consumption based on TS-SVR

“…The current research on clothing energy consumption is mostly concentrated in the following parts: behavior observation method, questionnaire survey method, heart rate monitoring method, respiration calorimeter measurement method, double-labeled water method and the use of various kind of mechanical or electronic motion sensor (Wang et al. , 2013a, b and c; Sui et al. , 2011).…”

“…The relation between clothing and energy consumption cannot be effectively measured, so finding the relation between clothing and physical energy consumption is very essential. The current research on clothing energy consumption is mostly concentrated in the following parts: behavior observation method, questionnaire survey method, heart rate monitoring method, respiration calorimeter measurement method, double-labeled water method and the use of various kind of mechanical or electronic motion sensor (Wang et al, 2013a, b and c;Sui et al, 2011). For example, Meijer genetic algorithm (GA) etc (Murray et al, 2011;Gerwin and Meijer, 1989) detected the heart rate data, and performed regression analysis on the data to establish a linear relationship between heart rate and clothing energy consumption.…”
