Stable dynamic walking over uneven terrain
We propose a constructive control design for stabilization of non-periodic trajectories of underactuated robots. An important example of such a system is an underactuated “dynam...

Cable-suspended planar parallel robots with redundant cables: controllers with positive cable tensions
Abstract – Cable-suspended robots are structurally similar to parallel actuated robots but with the fundamental difference that cables can only pull the end-effector but not pu...
