Needle Steering and Model-Based Trajectory Planning
Needle insertion for percutaneous therapies is formulated as a trajectory planning and control problem. A new concept of needle steering is developed and a Needle Manipulation Jaco...

Characterizing optimally fault-tolerant manipulators based on relative manipulability indices
— In this article, the authors examine the problem of designing nominal manipulator Jacobians that are optimally fault tolerant to one or more joint failures. In this work, optim...

Kinematic control of nonholonomic mobile manipulators in the presence of steering wheels
— We consider the kinematic control problem for nonholonomic mobile manipulators (NMMs) whose base contains steering wheels. For all typical tasks, the steering velocity inputs o...
