– Our recent work on robotic surgical assistant systems has led us to develop a method to generate spatial motion constraints associated with complex 3D geometry for controlling ...
— A new three degrees of freedom translational parallel manipulator (TPM) with fixed actuators, called a general 3-PRC TPM, is proposed in this paper. The mobility of the manipu...
— A fast online gait planning method is proposed. Based on an approximate dynamical biped model whose mass is concentrated to COG, general solution of the equation of motion is a...
— We present a localization method for robots equipped with only a compass, a contact sensor and a map of the environment. In this framework, a localization strategy can be descr...
— Calibration is the procedure of quantifying mechanical deficiencies of machines and compensating them by appropriate adjustment. This paper introduces a modelbased measurement...
— The human motions are generated through the interaction between the body and its environments. The information processing system defines the current motion using the signal fe...
— We explore the control synthesis problem for a robot dynamically manipulating an object in the presence of multiple frictional contacts. Contacts occur both between the object ...
