Recent research on friction in robot joints and transmission systems has considered meshing friction a position-dependent friction component. However, in this paper we show experi...
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...
Abstract. This paper discusses a new experimental robot load identification method that is used in industry. The method is based on periodic robot excitation and the maximum likeli...

A new parallel-type gripper mechanism is proposed in this work. This device has a parallelogramic platform that can be flexibly folded. Therefore, this mechanism not only can be u...
For assembly tasks parts often have to be oriented before they can be put in an assembly. The results presented in this paper are a component of the automated design of parts orie...
