Abstract— The Deformatron robot is a homogeneous, modular robot. The Deformatron modules can play one of three roles in the physical structure of the robot: bone, tendon, and mus...
This paper presents a hybrid system approach in the design of a singularityless task level controller. To achieve a singularityless motion control in the neighborhood of singulari...
