In a number of industrial, space, or mobile systems applications, reaction forces and moments transmitted by a manipulator to its base are undesirable. Based on force and moment t...
— This paper describes a test-bed for planar micro manipulation tasks and a framework for planning based on quasistatic models of mechanical systems with frictional contacts. We ...

We consider the problem of controlling multiple robots manipulating and transporting a payload in three dimensions via cables. Individual robot control laws and motion plans enable...

We address the motion planning problem (open-loop trajectory design) for manipulating rigid bodies with permanent rolling contact without slipping. This problem is related in part...
We present a brief overview of an algorithm for interactively animating object grasping and manipulation tasks for human figures. The technique is designed to efficiently genera...
