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...
Previous work by Mattikalli et al.[1] considered the stability of assemblies of frictionless contacting bodies with uniform gravity. A linear programming-based technique was descr...
This paper presents an autonomous method to calibrate joint torque sensors f o r advanced robots; as a by-product, the position sensors can also be calibrated. When one joint of a...
