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 ...

Peg-in-hole insertion is not only a longstanding problem in robotics but the most common automated mechanical assembly task [10]. In this paper we present a high precision, self-c...
The application of robots in critical missions in hazardous environments requires the development of reliable or fault tolerant manipulators. In this paper, we define fault tolera...
The Network Data Delivery Service NDDS is a novel network data-sharing system. NDDS builds on the model of information producers sources and consumers sinks. Producers generate da...
In a number of industrial, space, or mobile systems applications, reaction forces and moments transmitted by a manipulator to its base are undesirable. Based on force and moment t...
The Self-Mobile Space Manipulator (SM2) has evolved to adapt to the new pre-integrated I-beam structure of the Space Station Freedom (SSF). In this paper, we first briefly overvie...
In this article, we develop three eflcient extensions to a recent production scheduling algorithm based on Lagrangian relaxation [9]. These extensions handle the following real-wo...
A method as presented for autonomous kanematzc calzbratzon of a 3-DOF redundant parallel robot. Multaple closed loops are used an a least squares optamzzaiaon method. Ill-condatao...
This paper presents a control strategy for manipulation of exible objects by multiple robot arms. The control policy developed in this paper for exible objects is based on a contr...
