柔性臂機械人被廣泛應用於航天航空業,製造業,核電廠,軍事,醫療器材和農業等各方面的機械設備。其中一種柔性臂機械人 ── 連續體機器人更是廣泛被應用於微創或無創手術機械人作機械手之用。 ; 本文提出以小尺寸連續體機器人可用於手術機械人中以協助醫生完成各無創手術,並以我們研發的手術機械人為例以協助醫生完成內黏膜下剝離術。我們探討了小尺寸連續體機器人的模型並分析其運作。小尺寸連續體機器人是由一個推挽機構致動,推挽機構於連續體機器人後方拉動形狀記憶合金線,前方的連續結構會以對應的彎曲運動實現控制的指令。 ; 現今常用於簡化連續結構模型的假設是假設連續結構上每一小段的曲率皆是相同。雖然連續部分的運動學模型和靜態模型是可預測,但連續的機器人是一種柔性的結構,其基於運動學模型控制的精確度是低的。我們亦不能完全以數學方式模擬所有連續體機器人的動作。因此,本文提出了使用回饋實際彎曲角度和理想彎曲角度的差距以實現連續機器人的精確閉環控制。根據我們提出的閉環控制,小尺寸連續體機器人的平均誤差可大幅減少。 ; Flexible manipulator is extensively used in various robotic applications, for example, aerospace and outer space industries, manufacturing industries, nuclear plants, military, surgery and agriculture. Specifically, continuum structure is a type of flexible manipulators widely adopted in minimally invasive surgical (MIS) applications. This dissertation presents the modelling and analysis of a continuum robot, which has tendon-sheath mechanism at the front end and the continuum section at the distal end, in an assistive robotic system. One of the application of the assistive robotic system is supporting Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The small size continuum section is actuated by a push-pull mechanism to effectuate a two degrees of freedom (DoF) bending motion. Simplified models of the continuum section based on extensions of previous theories assuming constant curvature are presented. The modeled-predicted kinematics and statics of the continuum section can be readily verified by motion trackingsystem. ; Since the continuum robot is a flexible structure, the accuracy is low when the control of continuum robot is solely based on the kinematics model. To reduce the reliance of the exact model that describes the motion of each part of the continuum robot, this dissertation presents an idea to use the position feedback to relax the reliance on the exact model to achieve an accurate closed-loop control of the continuum robot. The actual bending angle of the continuum robot is captured by the optical tracking system. The difference between the desired position and ...

中國大陸的電影審查是在意識形態領域對文化工業所施加的國家控制,以確保後者能夠服務於整體性的國家目的。20 世紀 80 年代中期,原本主要承擔宣傳和教育功能的電影工業開始了國家主導的改革,並在新世紀被定位為"文化產業"後,其主體迅速向資本化、商業化和娛樂化發展。本文的目的就是研究在這一過程中,審查制度及其實踐的變遷與延續,特別是要追問它在制度上沿襲了毛澤東時代基本框架和不放棄意識形態控制的同時,為什麼可以容納文化產業化電影工業的發展。為此,我選擇了生產研究(production study)路徑,從"結構-行動者"(structure-agent)的分析框架出發,以對電影人和審查者的訪談材料為基礎,綜合多種途徑搜集到的一手和二手資料,聚焦於這些行動者審查與自我審查的日常實踐,以及支撐他們實踐活動的信條(belief)和話語(discourse)體系。我認為問題關鍵在於改革過程中國家自身的分化。首先,國家控制電影工業的出發點從單一的政治目的,多元化為經濟、政治和文化三重目的。其次,隨著國家目的多元化,主要考慮政治問題的審查權力機構和兼顧經濟與文化發展的審查執行機構在利益和立場上的分化進一步加深。這些使國家控制本身出現了一定的彈性(flexibility),給電影工業有限的發展空間。這種彈性主要表現在兩個方面:一是審查標準上"去政治化的政治"原則;二是審查制度設計及其實踐上的"結構的不確定性"。前者代表了國家意識形態控制的原則,後者是具體的控制手段。因此,本研究同時也處理了中國國家在後社會主義轉型過程中,國家控制的性質及其運作機制的問題。 ; In China, censorship system of the film industry is ideological control of the state, for ensuring later can serve the object of the former. From the mid 1980s, the film industry begun to reform by the state, and it became one of the "cultural industries" in the beginning of the new millennium from the tool for propaganda and education, as well as is being capitalized and commercialized quickly. ; The purpose of this thesis is to study the change and continuity of this censorship system and its practice during this period, as well as to answer the question why this censorship system can allow such kind of development, while this system still follows the basic framework of the one in Mao's era and does not give up the goal of ideological control. ; So, methodologically, I chose the production study approach and structure-agent analytical framework. Basing on the interviews of filmmakers and reviewers, as well as other first-hand and secondary materials, this thesis focus on the agents' practice of censorship and self-censorship, as well as the belief and discourse system behind these practice. And I think the answer of that question above is the diversification of the state during the reform. Firstly, it is the diversification of the object of the state, it becomes politics, economy and culture from politics only. Secondly, with the ...

为什么中国地方人大的发展会存在一定程度的地方差异?本文以市级人大为例,分析了经济现代化与人大发展之间的关系。通过对全国性数据的定量分析,本文发现:首先,一个地方的经济发展水平越高,当地市级人大的立法权、监督权和代表功能的发展水平越高。第二,一个地方的第二、第三产业生产总值所占的比重越高,当地的市级人大越有可能在立法和代表方面发挥重要的作用。 ; 本文还利用丰富的定性资料和统计数据分析了其中的因果机制,发现随着经济现代化水平的不断提高,市级人大有更强的动力行使立法权、监督权和发挥代表功能,以应对经济现代化所带来的各种挑战;此外,经济现代化给市级人大的发展带来了更多的财政资源和人力资源,因此也就提升了市级人大的能力。因而经济现代化能够对人大的发展起到促进的作用。 ; 可以说,中国市级人大的发展是政治制度调适的一种表现形式,一方面,尽管市级人大已经逐渐摆"橡皮图章"的尴尬地位,但党对人大的领导仍然得到有效的维持;另一方面,人大的发展调整了人大与"一府两院"、人大与民众之间的关系,加强了制度化的横向分权和自下而上的问责:这可以在一定程度上减少官员违法滥权的现象,改善政府的施政绩效,提高政府的回应性,缓和社会矛盾,也就促进了社会的稳定,提高了政权的政绩合法性,因而有助于中共政权更好地适应经济现代化所带来的外部环境的变化。 ; 本文的发现表明,一方面,正如许多研究所揭示的,经济现代化的过程可能会造成社会的不稳定,并且给威权政体的生存带来威胁;然而另一方面,经济现代化又会促进威权政体中的政治制度进行调适,从而在一定程度上有利于促进社会的稳定和威权统治的延续。 ; 然而,需要指出的是,这种政治制度的调适具有一些难以克服的局限性,随着经济现代化水平的继续提高,政治制度调适的需求可能会进一步增加,但调适的空间可能会逐渐缩小,在这种情况下,威权统治者能否继续通过政治制度的调适来保持威权体制的生命力,则仍然是未知之数。 ; Why does regional variation exist in the development of Local People's Congresses in China? Taking Municipal People's Congresses (MPC) as cases, this research explores the relationship between economic modernization and the development of People's Congresses (PC). Based on quantitative analysis on national data, it reveals that, firstly, the higher the level of economic development, the higher the levels of MPCs' development in legislation, supervision and representation; secondly, the larger the proportion of the gross product of secondary and tertiary industries in GDP, the higher the development levels of MPCs' legislation and representation. ; This research also analyzes abundant qualitative and quantitative data to reveal the causal mechanism and finds that, firstly, as the modernization of economics, MPCs have stronger motivations to promote their legislation, supervision and representation for dealing with the challenges brought by economic modernization; secondly, economic modernization also increases the finanicial and human resources owned by MPCs, which is beneficial to the development of their capacities. Thus economic modernization can make contributions to PCs' development. ; The dissertation argues ...
