Prioritizing linear equality and inequality systems: Application to local motion planning for redundant robots
We present a novel method for prioritizing both linear equality and inequality systems and provide one algorithm for its resolution. This algorithm can be summarized as a sequence ...

Modeling and control of a pair of robot fingers with saddle joint under orderless actuations
A new robot hand dynamics model with rolling constraints and with a saddle joint at one finger is proposed, where two saddle-joint actuations are considered to be orderless. Spinni...

Kinematic analysis and optimal design of a 3T1R type parallel mechanism
In previous studies on 4-DOF parallel mechanisms with four sub-chains, only symmetric arrangement of those four chains connected to the top plate was considered. Such symmetric sha...
