Geometric Characteristics of Antagonistic Stiffness in Redundantly Actuated Mechanisms
Parallel closed-chainmechanical architectures allow for redundant actuation in the force domain. Antagonistic actuation, afforded by this input force redundancy, in conjunction wi...

A method to characterize and exploit actuation redundancy in mobility and manipulation
— Actuation redundancy is common in cooperative mobility and cooperative manipulation systems. In this paper we present an extension to a previously developed method in order to ...

Control of an pseudo-omnidirectional, non-holonomic, mobile robot based on an ICM representation in spherical coordinates
— For mobile platforms with steerable standard wheels it is necessary to precisely coordinate rotation and steering angle of their wheels. Especially for redundantly actuated pla...

Design of a Hydraulic Robot Shoulder Based on a Combinatorial Mechanism
In previous papers, I have argued that while parallel mechanisms are well known for their favorable structural properties, their utility is generally limited by an inherently small...
