This paper introduces AORTA, a software architecture that provides object-level coordination and shared workspace awareness support to synchronous and distributed collaborative app...
The e ect of redundant sensors in the solution of the direct kinematics of general parallel manipulators is studied here, for purposes of on-line implementation. We describe three...
An image-based visual servo control is presented for a robotic manipulator. The proposed control design addresses visual servo of 'eye-in-hand' type systems. Using a nov...
Robotic grasps exhibiting visco-elastic contact interactions with the manipulated object are considered. Control of internalforces is investigated. Thepresence of nonnegligible co...
Wide-area distributed systems like computational grids are emergent infrastructures for high-performance parallel applications. On these systems, communication mechanisms have to ...
