From motion planning to trajectory control with bounded jerk for service manipulator robots
To build autonomous robots capable to plan and control tasks in human environments, we need a description of trajectories that allows the robot to reason on his moves. In this pape...

On the influence of ship motion prediction accuracy on motion planning and control of robotic manipulators on seaborne platforms
Robotic manipulators on non-inertial platforms, such as ships, have to endure large inertial forces due to the non-inertial motion of the platform. When the non-inertial platform&#...
