Vision feedback control loop techniques are efficient for a great class of applications but they come up against difficulties when the initial and desired positions of the camer...
Model based error compensation of a robotic manipulator, also known as robot calibration, requires the identification of its generalized errors. These errors are found from measur...
The synthesis theory for spatial linkage systems can be formulated in a way that is compatible with the geometric design of serial and parallel chain robotic systems. Mechanism de...
Determination of the magnitudes and directions of the constraints of a mechanical system can be achieved by finding the basis of the system’s characteristic compliance matrix. ...
This paper will investigate the influence environment delay has on haptic systems. Work presented in [9]and [ll]demonstrated that it is possible to account for environment delay (...
Haptic feedback is a design element for human-computer interfaces, and this paper discusses when and how it can be used to best effect in interactive applications. It begins with ...
The need for high precision robotic systems has increased in recent years. Examples include automated assembly of complex electro-mechanical products such as disk drives, cameras,...
Manual materials handling of heavy loads is a common cause of low back disorders. The manual manipulation of a heavy load may be made more comfortable by constraining the load to ...
The need to register data is abundant in applications such as: world modeling, part inspection and manufacturing, object recognition, pose estimation, robotic navigation, and reve...
