We present an analytical solution for the inverse kinematics (IK) of a robotic arm with one prismatic joint and four revolute joints. This 5-DoF design is a result of minimizing weight while preserving functionality of the device in a…
Numerical methods for Inverse Kinematics (IK) employ iterative, linear approximations of the IK until the end-effector is brought from its initial pose to the desired final pose. These methods require the computation of the Jacobian of the…
The inverse kinematics (IK) problem of continuum robots has been investigated in depth in the past decades. Under the constant-curvature bending assumption, closed-form IK solution has been obtained for continuum robots with variable…
Reaching tasks with random targets and obstacles is a challenging task for robotic manipulators. In this study, we propose a novel model-free reinforcement learning approach based on proximal policy optimization (PPO) for training a deep…
Robotic tasks, like reaching a pre-grasp configuration, are specified in the end effector space or task space, whereas, robot motion is controlled in joint space. Because of inherent actuation errors in joint space, robots cannot achieve…
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…
Achieving human-like motion in robots has been a fundamental goal in many areas of robotics research. Inverse kinematic (IK) solvers have been explored as a solution to provide kinematic structures with anthropomorphic movements. In…
A cuspidal robot can move from one inverse kinematics (IK) solution to another without crossing a singularity. Multiple industrial robots are cuspidal. They tend to have a beautiful mechanical design, but they pose path planning challenges.…

Near kinematic singularities of a serial manipulator, the inverse kinematics (IK) problem becomes ill-conditioned, which poses computational problems for the numerical solution. Computational methods to tackle this issue are based on…
This paper introduces the Visual Inverse Kinematics problem (VIK) to fill the gap between robot Inverse Kinematics (IK) and visual servo control. Different from the IK problem, the VIK problem seeks to find robot configurations subject to…
Soft robots are interesting examples of hyper-redundancy in robotics, however, the nonlinear continuous dynamics of these robots and the use of hyper-elastic and visco-elastic materials makes modeling of these robots more complicated. This…

We present a novel approach for solving articulated inverse kinematic problems (e.g., character structures) by means of an iterative dual-quaternion and exponentialmapping approach. As dual-quaternions are a break from the norm and offer a…
