Advances in robot interfacing technologies
Robert BogueThe purpose of this paper is to provide details of recent developments in human‐robot interfacing technologies.
An online path planning approach of mobile robot based on particle filter
Yang Gao, Shu‐dong Sun, Da‐wei Hu, Lai‐jun WangPath planning in unknown or partly unknown environment is a quite complex task, partly because it is an evolving globally optimal path affected by the motion of the robot…
SwarmItFIX: a multi‐robot‐based reconfigurable fixture
Luis de Leonardo, Matteo Zoppi, Li Xiong, Dimiter Zlatanov, Rezia M. MolfinoThe use of thin sheets with 3D geometries is growing in quantity, due to current progress towards life‐cycle design and sustainable production, and growing in geometrical…
Control and programming of a multi‐robot‐based reconfigurable fixture
Cezary Zieliński, Włodzimierz Kasprzak, Tomasz Kornuta, Wojciech Szynkiewicz, Piotr Trojanek, Michał Walęcki, Tomasz Winiarski, Teresa ZielińskaMachining fixtures must fit exactly the work piece to support it appropriately. Even slight change in the design of the work piece renders the costly fixture useless…
Assisted design of linkage‐driven adaptive soft fingers
Louis‐Alain Larouche, Lionel BirglenAdaptive grippers are versatile end effectors that mechanically adapt their shapes to the objects they seize, allowing for soft and delicate grasps while still allowing…
Mechanical equilibrium model of rubberless artificial muscle and application to position control of antagonistic drive system
Naoki Saito, Takanori Sato, Takanori Ogasawara, Ryo Takahashi, Toshiyuki SatoThe purpose of this paper is to describe a mechanical equilibrium model of a one‐end‐fixed type rubberless artificial muscle and the feasibility of this model for control…
A novel motion generation strategy for robotic tooth brushing simulator
Jie LiuThe purpose of this paper is to develop a robotic tooth brushing simulator mimicking realistic tooth brushing motions, thereby facilitating greater understanding of the…
Rapid design and synthesis of robots using standard computer tools
Jaime Martínez Verdú, José María Sabater Navarro, Vicente José González Penella, Nicolás Manuel García Aracil, Ángel Miguel López BuendíaCurrently, the majority of designed robots are not well‐matched to their applications because designers do not employ a clear and organized design process. Additionally…
A biped robot with 3T manipulation ability
Chao Liu, Yan‐An YaoThe purpose of this paper is to propose a spatial six‐link RRCCRR (where R denotes a revolute joint, and C denotes a cylindric joint) mechanism to be used as the mechanism…
Development of an underwater riser inspection robot
Melquisedec F. Santos, Maurício O. Brito, Cassiano Neves, Luciano L. MenegaldoThe purpose of this paper is to describe a new multi‐sensor robotic system designed for riser, mooring lines and umbilical cables in situ underwater inspection. Due to the…
