A robot-assisted acoustofluidic end effector. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Commun, 2022
AbstractLiquid manipulation is the foundation of most laboratory processes. For macroscale liquid handling, both do-it-yourself and commercial robotic systems are available; however, for microscale, reagents are expensive and sample preparation is difficult.

Distributed Formation Control for Manipulator End Effectors

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2023
We present three classes of distributed formation controllers for achieving and maintaining the 2D/3D formation shape of manipulator end-effectors to cope with different scenarios due to availability of modeling parameters. We firstly present a distributed formation controller for manipulators whose system parameters are perfectly known.

Spiral lead platen robotic end effector [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
A robotic end effector is disclosed which makes use of a rotating platen with spiral leads used to impact lateral motion to gripping fingers. Actuation is provided by the contact of rolling pins with the walls of the leads.

Whole-Body MPC for a Dynamically Stable Mobile Manipulator

open access: yes, 2019
Autonomous mobile manipulation offers a dual advantage of mobility provided by a mobile platform and dexterity afforded by the manipulator. In this paper, we present a whole-body optimal control framework to jointly solve the problems of manipulation ...

End effector with astronaut foot restraint [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
The combination of a foot restraint platform designed primarily for use by an astronaut being rigidly and permanently attached to an end effector which is suitable for attachment to the manipulator arm of a remote manipulating system is described.

Robust visual servoing in 3d reaching tasks [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
This paper describes a novel approach to the problem of reaching an object in space under visual guidance. The approach is characterized by a great robustness to calibration errors, such that virtually no calibration is required.

Kinematics and workspace analysis of a 3ppps parallel robot with u-shaped base [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This paper presents the kinematic analysis of the 3-PPPS parallel robot with an equilateral mobile platform and a U-shape base. The proposed design and appropriate selection of parameters allow to formulate simpler direct and inverse kinematics for the ...

Improving a Gripper End Effector [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
This paper discusses the improvement made to an existing four-bar linkage gripping end effector to adapt it for use in a current project. The actuating linkage was modified to yield higher jaw force overall and particularly in the critical range of jaw ...
