UNMANNED GROUND-BASED ROBOTIC SYSTEMS: CLASSIFICATION AND ANALYSIS

The integration of unmanned ground-based robotic systems into logistics and other automation-intensive sectors has notably expanded in recent years. Despite their increasing prevalence, the lack of a unified classification framework has complicated the systematic selection and deployment of these platforms. This research has been initiated to address this gap by developing the EPAM classification system, which incorporates Environment, Purpose, Autonomy, and Mobility as core multidimensional criteria.

Safety-overrunning ball-type clutch parts contact interaction features

The article deals with the field of machinery, namely, with the protecting of devices for mechanical driving systems. Safety-overrunning clutches, operating on gearing principle, where safety and overrunning parts are mutually integrated, are perspectives for the  building based on modular machines. This case is due to their compactness and low components, comparatively with combined constructions. New clutch design is investigated insufficiently.
