The subject of this paper is a special class of closedchain manipulators. First, we analyze a family of twodegree-of-freedom (dof) five-bar planar linkages. Two Jacobian matrices ...
— We study the motion planning problem for planar star-shaped manipulators. These manipulators are formed by joining k “legs” to a common point (like the thorax of an insect)...
— 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 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...
: The paper focuses on the problem of point-to-point trajectory planning for flexible redundant robot manipulators (FRM) in joint space. Compared with irredundant flexible manipula...
