Agent Control for Reconfigurable Open Kinematic Chain Manipulators

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013
This paper presents a method for the autonomous control of differently structured open kinematic chains based on multi-agent system technology. The appropriate level of distributing local autonomy (agents) to a manipulative structure is defined, which ...

Kinematic-model-free online learning for robot motion control [PDF]

Controlling robots has been a thriving field of research since their emergence. Traditionally, robots are controlled using joint space to task space transformations based on kinematic and dynamic models.

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.

A functional anatomy based kinematic human hand model with simple size adaptation [PDF]

, 2012
For the purpose of ergonomic human-machine interaction and geometrical design of hand held haptic devices, a kinematic model that represents the functional anatomy of different human hands is desired.

Identifying Physical Interactions in Contact‐Based Robot Manipulation for Learning from Demonstration

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robots can learn manipulation tasks from human demonstrations. This work proposes a versatile method to identify the physical interactions that occur in a demonstration, such as sequences of different contacts and interactions with mechanical constraints.

Hybrid-equilibrium elements with control of spurious kinematic modes

Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2023
A review is presented of a recent formulation of hybrid-equilibrium elements for modelling planar structural problems. The formulation is based on the use of polynomials of general degree to approximate internal stress fields and bounding side ...

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Kinematic, Dynamic Modeling and Remote Control of a Robotic Machine

, 2007
In this paper, a robotic machine with 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) is proposed. First, the geometric structure of the 3-DOF parallel robot is presented; in the mechanism, a fourth kinematic link -a passive link connecting the base center to the moving ...

Asymmetry in Skipping Enhances Viability Against Control Input Noise

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Quadruped animals use asymmetric galloping gaits at high speeds, yet the functional role of this asymmetry remains unclear. This study shows that left–right asymmetry in touchdown angles enhances robustness to control noise. Using a simple two‐legged locomotion model and viability theory, it demonstrates that asymmetric skipping substantially enlarges ...
