—Space exploitation will require efficient techniques for manipulating passive objects on orbit. This work presents a manipulation concept that utilizes both the on-off thruste...
Abstract. The paper presents a methodology for the enhanced stiffness analysis of parallel manipulators with internal preloading in passive joints. It also takes into account influ...

— In this paper, we discuss the manipulation of an object under hybrid active/passive closure. We show the orthogonality between the directions of active and passive force closur...
In this paper, a teleoperation controller is proposed for a pair of nonlinear master and slave manipulators. The control law enables the nonlinear robots to be perfectly coordinate...
— We describe self-assembling robot arm systems composed of active modular robots and passive bars. We present a case study where the robotic module is the Shady3D robot and the ...
