This paper introduces a new approach to the design and control of a four-degree-of-freedom (4DOF) vehicle. This vehicle can travel sideways and it can negotiate tight turns easily...
A method is presented for autonomous kinematic calibrationof the RSI 6-DOFhand controller,a two-loopparallel mechanism comprised of three 6-DOF arms with potentiometers on the firs...
This paper investigates the problem of "formclosure"for three-fingered grasps of polygonal objects under various combinations of contact models at the contact points. We...
Automatic guided vehicles with omnidirectional wheels have three degrees of freedom (DOF), their full mobility being obtained by virtue of the free rollers around the periphery of...
The problem of programming a robot t o carry out a systematic exploration of its environment using realistic sensors is considered in this paper. The robot is modelled as a single...
