Inverse Kinematics and Statics-Based Motion Planning of a 7-DoF Transporter for DEMO-Type Breeding Blankets

Machines
Future fusion power plants like DEMO must be remotely maintained for safety, including breeding blankets (BBs) weighing up to 180 t. The BB vertical transporter (BBVT), a crane-like redundant robot with 7 joints, has been previously designed for handling
