Disabilities are a global issue due to the decrease in life quality and mobility of patients, especially people suffering from hand disabilities. This paper presents a review of active hand exoskeleton technologies, over the past decade, for rehabili...

This paper focuses on development of a high-speed, low-latency telemanipulated robot hand system, evaluation of the system, and demonstration of the system. The characteristics of the developed system are the followings: non-contact, high-speed 3D vi...

In this study, we proposed an advanced control system for tilting-ladle-type automatic pouring machines in the casting industry. Automatic pouring machines have been introduced recently to improve the working environment of the pouring process. In th...

Robotics is now facing the challenge of deploying newly developed devices into human environments, and for this process to be successful, societal acceptance and uptake of robots are crucial. Education is already playing a key role in raising awarene...

Unintentional vascular damage can result from a surgical instrument’s abrupt movements during minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic or robotic). A novel real-time image processing algorithm based on local entropy is proposed that can detect abrupt...

The clearance of the revolute joint influences the accuracy of dynamic parameter identification. In order to address this problem, a method for dynamic parameter identification of an X–Y pointing mechanism while considering the clearance of the revol...

Developing an emergency procedure for cable-driven parallel robots is not a trivial process, since it is not possible to halt the end-effector by quickly braking the actuators as in rigid-link manipulators. For this reason, the cable robot recovery s...

In recent years, the increasing popularity of multi-vehicle missions has been accompanied by a growing interest in the development of control strategies to ensure safety in these scenarios. In this work, we propose a control framework for coordinatio...

The present paper concerns the synthesis of robot movement control systems in the cases of disturbances of natural position constraints, which are the result of surface susceptibility and inaccuracies in its description. The study contains the synthe...

Modern industry benefits from the automation capabilities and flexibility of robots. Consequently, the performance depends on the individual task, robot and trajectory, while application periods of several years lead to a significant impact of the us...
