The problem of fault tolerance in cooperative manipulators rigidly connected to a solid object is addressed in this paper. Four faults are considered: free-swinging joint faults, ...
— We examine the usefulness of passive compliance in a manipulator that learns contact motion. Based on the notice that humans outperforms robots with the contact motion, we foll...
This paper studies motion planning from one zero velocity state to another for a three-joint robot in a horizontal plane witha passive revolute third joint. Such a robot is small-...

— We describe self-assembling robot arm systems composed of active modular robots and passive bars. We present a case study where the robotic module is the Shady3D robot and the ...
