Robotic manipulators are often designed with more actuated degrees-of-freedom than required to fully control an end effector's position and orientation. These "redundant" manipulators can allow infinite joint configurations that satisfy a…
Soft robotic manipulators provide numerous advantages over conventional rigid manipulators in fragile environments such as the marine environment. However, developing analytic inverse models necessary for shape, motion, and force control of…
This work addresses the inverse kinematics of serial robots using conformal geometric algebra. Classical approaches include either the use of homogeneous matrices, which entails high computational cost and execution time or the development…
Set-Based Multi-Task Priority is a recent framework to handle inverse kinematics for redundant structures. Both equality tasks, i.e., control objectives to be driven to a desired value, and set-bases tasks, i.e., control objectives to be…
The general inverse kinematics (IK) problem of a manipulator, namely that of acquiring the self-motion manifold (SMM) of all admissible joint angles for a desired end-effector pose, plays a vital role in robotics modeling, planning and…
