Kineto-elastic analysis of modular robot systems with component model updating
This dissertation describes the kineto-elastic analysis and component structural dynamic model updating of serial modular reconfigurable robots (MRRs). In general, kineto-elastic analysis is concerned with the structural vibrations, elastic deflections ...

Grasp compliance regulation in synergistically controlled robotic hands with VSA [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper, we propose a general method to achieve a desired grasp compliance acting both on the joint stiffness values and on the hand configuration, also in the presence of restrictions caused by synergistic underactuation. The approach is based

Optimal Contact Force Distribution for Compliant Humanoid Robots in Whole-Body Loco-Manipulation Tasks [PDF]
, 2015 The stiffness ellipsoid, i.e. the locus of task-space forces obtained corresponding to a deformation of unit norm in different directions, has been extensively used as a powerful representation of robot interaction capabilities. The size and shape of the
