A double pendulum subject to external torques is used as a model to study the stability of a planar manipulator with two links and two rotational driven joints. The hamiltonian equations of motion and the fixed points (stationary solutions)…
We study dynamics of an wheeled inverted pendulum under a proportional-integral-derivative controller on horizontal, inclined and soft surfaces. An oscillatory area and conditions of the stability for the control are shown on the phase…
Although the kinematics and dynamics of spherical robots (SRs) on flat horizontal and inclined 2D surfaces are thoroughly investigated, their rolling behavior on generic 3D terrains has remained unexplored. This paper derives the kinematics…
Model-based manipulation of deformable objects has traditionally dealt with objects while neglecting their dynamics, thus mostly focusing on very lightweight objects at steady state. At the same time, soft robotic research has made…
This paper describes a novel amphibious robot, which adopts a dual-swing-legs propulsion mechanism, proposing a new locomotion mode. The robot is called FroBot, since its structure and locomotion are similar to frogs. Our inspiration comes…
This paper introduces a rescue robot named Sigma 3 which is developed for potential applications such as helping hands for humans where a human can not reach to have an assessment of the hazardous environment. Also, these kinds of robot can…
The design of a novel prismatic drive is reported in this paper. This transmission is based on Slide-O-Cam, a cam mechanism with multiple rollers mounted on a common translating follower. The design of Slide-O-Cam was reported elsewhere.…

A common way to manipulate heavy objects is to maintain at least one point of the object in contact with the environment during the manipulation. When the object has a cylindrical shape or, in general, a curved edge, not only sliding and…
Spherical robot is a nonlinear, nonholonomic and unstable system which increases the difficulty of the direction and trajectory tracking problem. In this study, we propose a new direction controller HTSMC, an instruction planning controller…
We explore the locomotion of soft robots in granular medium (GM) resulting from the elastic deformation of slender rods. A low-cost, rapidly fabricable robot inspired by the physiological structure of bacteria is presented. It consists of a…
The ability to perform in-hand manipulation still remains an unsolved problem; having this capability would allow robots to perform sophisticated tasks requiring repositioning and reorienting of grasped objects. In this work, we present a…
The design of a mechanical transmission taking into account the transmitted forces is reported in this paper. This transmission is based on Slide-o-Cam, a cam mechanism with multiple rollers mounted on a common translating follower. The…
We identify the nonlinear normal modes spawning from the stable equilibrium of a double pendulum under gravity, and we establish their connection to homoclinic orbits through the unstable upright position as energy increases. This result is…
This work proposes a sliding mode control barrier function to robustly deal with high relative-degree safety constraints in safety-critical control systems. Stability/tracking objectives, expressed as a nominal control law, and safety…
This paper presents an alternative way to the dynamic modeling of a rotational inverted pendulum using the classic mechanics known as Euler-Lagrange allows to find motion equations that describe our model. It also has a design of the basic…
Cyber-physical systems, also known as CPS, is an emerging field of technology that combines the physical and digital worlds by allowing for seamless interaction and communication between the two. One of the key characteristics of a CPS is…
This paper deals with the kinematics and dynamics of a two degree of freedom spherical manipulator, the wrist of Orthoglide 5-axis. The latter is a parallel kinematics machine composed of two manipulators: i) the Orthoglide 3-axis; a…
The derivation of a linear fractional representation (LFR) model for a flexible, spinning and uniform Euler-Bernoulli beam is accomplished using the {Lagrange} technique, fully capturing the centrifugal force generated by the spinning…
Undesired lateral and longitudinal wheel slippage can disrupt a mobile robot's heading angle, traction, and, eventually, desired motion. This issue makes the robotization and accurate modeling of heavy-duty machinery very challenging…
