— We present a new approach to path planning for flexible wires. We introduce a method for computing stable configurations of a wire subject to manipulation constraints. These ...
– We developed a real-time controller for a 2 degree-of-freedom robotic system using xPC Target. This system was used to investigate how different methods of performance error fe...

— In this paper, the concept of the ’robust arm configuration’ (RAC) is expanded using a mode shape compensator. This compensator improves the robustness of the arm configu...
An automated tether system has been developed for the purpose of improving the efficiency of micro-gravity activities of fully suited astronauts. System features include gripping ...
