A classification of a family of 3-revolute (3R) positioning manipulators is established. This classification is based on the topology of their workspace. The workspace is characterized in a half-cross section by the singular curves of the…
Physics-based manipulation in clutter involves complex interaction between multiple objects. In this paper, we consider the problem of learning, from interaction in a physics simulator, manipulation skills to solve this multi-step…
Real-time humanoid teleoperation requires inverse kinematics (IK) solvers that are both responsive and constraint-safe under kinematic redundancy and self-collision constraints. While differential IK enables efficient online retargeting,…
This paper proposes a global iterative sliding mode control approach for high-precision contouring tasks of a flexure-linked biaxial gantry system. For such high-precision contouring tasks, it is the typical situation that the involved…
Rehabilitation tasks demand robust and accurate trajectory-tracking performance, mainly achieved with parallel robots. In this field, limiting the value of the force exerted on the patient is crucial, especially when an injured limb is…
We develop theory and software for rotation equivariant operators on scalar and vector fields, with diverse applications in simulation, optimization and machine learning. Rotation equivariance (covariance) means all fields in the system…
This paper investigates singular configurations of planar 3-RPR parallel manipulators, which result from applying the averaging technique to solution pairs of their direct kinematic problem. Without computing the zeros of the corresponding…
We present a theoretical and numerical analysis of the kinematics for the "Transpressor", a cuspidal 6R robot. It admits up to 16 inverse kinematics solutions which are described geometrically. For special target poses, we provide the…
This paper introduces a 3D parallel robot with three identical five-degree-of-freedom chains connected to a circular brace end-effector, aimed to serve as an assistive device for patients with cervical spondylosis. The inverse kinematics of…
Using the path integral measure factorization method based on the nonlinear filtering equation from the stochastic process theory, we consider the reduction procedure in Wiener path integrals for a mechanical system with symmetry that…
In this work, we utilize discrete geometric mechanics to derive a 2nd-order variational integrator so as to simulate rigid body dynamics. The developed integrator is to simulate the motion of a free rigid body and a quad-rotor. We…
The paper addresses kinematic and geometrical aspects of the Orthoglide, a three-DOF parallel mechanism. This machine consists of three fixed linear joints, which are mounted orthogonally, three identical legs and a mobile platform, which…
We discuss correspondence between the predictions of quantum theories for rotation angle formulated in infinite and finite dimensional Hilbert spaces, taking as example, the calculation of matrix elements of phase-angular momentum…
Designing adaptable control laws that can transfer between different robots is a challenge because of kinematic and dynamic differences, as well as in scenarios where external sensors are used. In this work, we empirically investigate a…
Inverse dynamics is used extensively in robotics and biomechanics applications. In manipulator and legged robots, it can form the basis of an effective nonlinear control strategy by providing a robot with both accurate positional tracking…
Nonlinearities in finite dimensions can be linearized by projecting them into infinite dimensions. Unfortunately, often the linear operator techniques that one would then use simply fail since the operators cannot be diagonalized. This…
The paper focuses on the mechanics of a compliant serial manipulator composed of new type of dual-triangle elastic segments. Both the analytical and numerical methods were used to find the manipulator stable and unstable equilibrium…
We propose a simple and practical approach for incorporating the effects of muscle inertia, which has been ignored by previous musculoskeletal simulators in both graphics and biomechanics. We approximate the inertia of the muscle by…
We study in this paper a class of 3-RPR manipulators for which the direct kinematic problem (DKP) is split into a cubic problem followed by a quadratic one. These manipulators are geometrically characterized by the fact that the moving…
A new approach to normal operators in real Hilbert spaces is discussed, and a spectral representation is obtained, derived directly from the complex case. The results are then applied to quaternionic normal operators, regarded as a special…
