Examples of yaw


yaw
The basic effects on the flow induced by yaw-angle and curvature can easily be recovered from the present solution.
The yaw motion should be eliminated since it destabilizes the walker.
With the pelvic compensator, the robot walks nearly in a straight line, demonstrating successful compensation of the yaw-motion.
One of the effective passive tools for controlling side-to-side rocking and yaw is the proper combination of the balancing mass and its orientation.
Each phase of the attachment procedure was simulated by a pulling model except the pivoting action of the cams for yaw and pitch alignments.
Note that the leg motions are fairly non-linear, so that the yaw compensation can never be exact with this compensator.
In the coupled yaw and pitch joints (joints 1 and 2), this desired joint torque is then kinematically transformed into desired linear actuator forces.
As the yaw angle had already been measured, it was possible to align the diskstatic probe in the local yaw direction.
The probe traversing gear could move vertically and in yaw.
Thus, the effects of yaw must be counteracted.
Two interesting observations about side-to-side rocking and yaw (rotation about the vertical axis) have been made.
It is very convenient for illustrating the major threedimensional effects induced on the flow by curvature and yaw angle.
Since we already have a pelvic body to compensate for the yaw motion, it is evident to use it for roll compensation as well.
This gives the vehicle the ability to move itself up and down, control its yaw, pitch and roll and move forwards and backwards.
The pitch and yaw motions are minimally affected by the wind force.
