International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2018 In this article, we present an improved artificial potential field method of trajectory planning and obstacle avoidance for redundant manipulators. Specifically, we not only focused on the position for the manipulator end-effectors but also considered ...

A Stiffness-Adjustable Hyperredundant Manipulator Using a Variable Neutral-Line Mechanism for Minimally Invasive Surgery [PDF]
, 2013 In robotic single-port surgery, it is desirable for a manipulator to exhibit the property of variable stiffness. Small-port incisions may require both high flexibility of the manipulator for safety purposes, as well as high structural stiffness for ...

, 2010 The research group from the Faculty of Automation, Computers and Electronics, University of Craiova, Romania, started working in research field of hyper redundant robots over 25 years ago. The experiments used cables and DC motors or stepper motors. The rotation of these motors rotates the cables which by correlated screwing and unscrewing of their ...

Using Parameterized Black-Box Priors to Scale Up Model-Based Policy Search for Robotics [PDF]
, 2018 The most data-efficient algorithms for reinforcement learning in robotics are model-based policy search algorithms, which alternate between learning a dynamical model of the robot and optimizing a policy to maximize the expected return given the model ...

Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2008 This paper describes the motion control of hyper redundant robots using a learning control scheme based on linear combination of error history. The learning control scheme is formulated with three elements: general solution of inverse kinematics with ...

Manipulation of a Pneumatic Hyper-Redundant Actuator
TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series C, 2011 Pneumatically controlled and actuated planar snake-like device has been developed. Each joint is controlled by hardware-implemented algorithm inspired by snake's lateral undulatory locomotion. Therefore the device progresses forward whenever the lateral movement is constrained, such as a winding groove by which the tip element is guided.
