This paper considers the application of a low-force robotic manipulator to guide a human user’s movement to locate a tool at a predetermined position or to move a tool along a p...
In a typical dextrous manipulation task, a goal configuration is reached through a sequence of continuous motions. Most often, a motion plan is computed offline and subsequently...
Abstract: We present a composite forward model of the mechanics of an excavator backhoe digging in soil. This model is used to predict the trajectories developed by a closed-loop f...
We present a framework for designing stable control schemes for systems whose dynamics change. The idea is to develop a controller for each of the regions defined by different dyn...
Robotic controllers take advantage from neural network learning capabilities as long as the dimensionality of the problem is kept moderate. This paper explores the possibilities of...
