We present a general framework for the modelling of a class of mechanical systems for robotic manipulation, consisting of articulated limbs with redundant tendinous actuation and ...

— In this paper, the concept of the ’robust arm configuration’ (RAC) is expanded using a mode shape compensator. This compensator improves the robustness of the arm configu...
A magnetic resonance (MR) compatible surgical assist robot system under preclinical evaluation is described. It is designed to coexist, and cooperate, with a surgeon, and to positi...

— Quasistatic multi-legged locomotion consists of a sequence of equilibrium postures where the mechanism supports itself against gravity while moving free limbs to new positions....
— This paper is concerned with the problem of identifying robust equilibrium postures of a planar mechanism supported by fixed frictional contacts in a twodimensional gravitation...
