Abstract – For conventional designs of robots, manipulator motions result in forces and moments on the base. These forces and moments may cause undesirable translation and rotati...
Many robotics tasks require a robot to share the same workspace with humans. In such settings, it is important that the robot performs in such a way that does not cause distress t...
The problem of concurrent mapping and localization has received considerable attention in the mobile robotics community. Existing approachescan largely be grouped into two distinc...

— KNTU CDRPM is a cable driven redundant parallel manipulator, which is under investigation for possible high speed and large workspace applications. This newly developed mechani...
— This paper addresses the problem of testing whether three contact points form a 3-fingered force-closure grasp in two dimensions. In particular, assuming frictional point cont...
