— For manipulation tasks, the transfer of objects between humans and robots is a fundamental way to coordinate activity and cooperatively perform useful work. Within this paper w...
We develop non-smooth motion controllers that enable redundant manipulators to perform surface tasks, that involve force/torque interactions. The robot joint rates are constrained ...
This work is focused on the analysis of manipulators with both joint and link flexibility. Due to the different order of joint and link stiffness, the full-order nonlinear system ...
This paper explores a method of manipulating a planar rigid part on a conveyor belt using a robot with just one joint. This approach has the potential of offering a simple and fle...

— This paper addresses the impedance control problem for flexible joint manipulators. An impedance controller structure is proposed, which is based on an exact decoupling of the...
