Motoman markets co‐operative and humanoid industrial robots
Christine ConnollyThe purpose of this paper is to examine the advantages of two‐arm robots in the industrial environment.
Exoskeletons and robotic prosthetics: a review of recent developments
Robert BogueThe purpose of this paper is to review recent developments in exoskeletons and robotic prosthetics.
Developing hardware capability for mobile manipulation by low‐cost humanoid robot (LOCH)
Ming Xie, Lei Wang, Xian Linbo, Jing Li, Hejin Yang, Chengsen Song, Li ZhangAutonomous mobile manipulation depends on a lot of effort at various levels. In general, the hardware design is as important as algorithm (or software) design. In particular, the…
Robotic transtibial prosthesis with biomechanical energy regeneration
Joseph Hitt, Thomas Sugar, Matthew Holgate, Ryan Bellman, Kevin HollanderThe purpose of this paper is to describe a project which seeks to develop a new generation of powered prostheses based on lightweight, uniquely tuned, energy‐storing elastic…
Forward kinematics analysis of a six‐DOF Stewart platform using PCA and NM algorithm
Zhelong Wang, Jianjun He, Hong Shang, Hong GuThe purpose of this paper is to present an adaptive numerical algorithm for forward kinematics analysis of general Stewart platform.
Omni‐directional vehicle control based on body configuration
Daisuke Chugo, Kuniaki Kawabata, Hayato Kaetsu, Hajime Asama, Taketoshi MishimaThe purpose of this paper is to develop a new wheel control scheme for wheeled vehicle with passive linkage mechanism which realizes high step‐overcoming performance.
Hazard analysis of an industrial upper‐body humanoid
Takuya Ogure, Yoshihiro Nakabo, SeongHee Jeong, Yoji YamadaThe purpose of this paper is to clarify the underlying hazards of human‐mimic human‐collaborative industrial robots.
Motion planning for omni‐directional mobile robots based on anisotropy and artificial potential field method
Chuntao Leng, Qixin CaoThe purpose of this paper is to propose a suitable motion planning for omni‐directional mobile robots (OMRs) by taking into account the motion characteristics.
A robotic system based on fuzzy visual servoing for handling flexible sheets lying on a table
Paraskevi Zacharia, Nikos Aspragathos, Ioannis Mariolis, Evaggelos DermatasThe purpose of this paper is to present a flexible automation system for the manipulation of fabrics lying on a work table and focuses on the design of a robot control system…
Path planning using hybrid grid representation on rough terrain
Jiajun Gu, Qixin CaoPath planning approaches based on conventional occupancy grid maps are problematic in off‐road environment because impossible areas include not only obstacles but also landscapes…
A coordinated control strategy for stable walking of biped robot with heterogeneous legs
Fei Wang, Chengdong Wu, Xinthe Xu, Yunzhou ZhangThe purpose of this paper is to present a coordinated control strategy for stable walking of biped robot with heterogeneous legs (BRHL), which consists of artificial leg (AL) and…
