An issue central to the navigation problem is memory. Traditional systems build symbolic maps of the world for navigational reference. Reactive methods, in contrast, eliminate or m...
This work is focused on the analysis of manipulators with both joint and link flexibility. Due to the different order of joint and link stiffness, the full-order nonlinear system ...
Parallel closed-chainmechanical architectures allow for redundant actuation in the force domain. Antagonistic actuation, afforded by this input force redundancy, in conjunction wi...
In this paper, a variable structure controller with time-varying sliding surface is proposed for robot manipulators. The proposed time-varying sliding surface ensures the ezistenc...
This paper addresses the problem of numerically finding an optimal path for a robot with non-holonomic constraints. A car like robot, whose turning radius is lower bounded is cons...
