Natural task decomposition with intrinsic potential fields
— Any given task can be solved in a number of ways, whether through path-planning, modeling, or control techniques. In this paper, we present a methodology for natural task decom...

Factor-guided motion planning for a robot arm
— Motion planning for robotic arms is important for real, physical world applications. The planning for arms with high-degree-of-freedom (DOF) is hard because its search space is...

Design and control of a second-generation hyper-redundant mechanism
— We present a refined, second-generation design, construction and integration, of a compact hyper-redundant snakelike robot, called “Woodstock.” This robot has substantial a...

Lagrangian dynamics of open multibody systems with generalized holonomic and nonholonomic joints
— Standard methods to model multibody systems are aimed at systems with configuration spaces isomorphic to Rn . This limitation leads to singularities and other artifacts in cas...
