—In this paper we propose the progressive clamping method to better model the kinematic anisotropy of joint limits for virtual mannequins or robots. Like recent approaches our me...
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, ...
Using pre-recorded human motion and trajectory tracking, we can control the motion of a humanoid robot for free-space, upper body gestures. However, the number of degrees of freed...

In this work we develop a novel method, or mechanism, of energy transfer in a quadruped running robot. The robot possesses only one actuator per leg, for lower weight and greater ...
We propose in this paper new redundancy-based solutions to avoid robot joint limits of a manipulator. We use a control scheme based on the task function approach. We first recall...
