Robotic manipulators can interact with large, heavy objects through whole-arm manipulation. Combined with direct physical interaction between humans and robots, the patient can be anchored in care. However, the complexity of this scenario requires co...
The ability to predict the maximal performance of an industrial robot executing non-deterministic tasks can improve process productivity through time-based planning and scheduling strategies. These strategies require the configuration and the compari...
In this work, we propose two cooperative passivity-based control methods for networks of mechanical systems. By cooperatively synchronizing the end-effector coordinates of the individual agents, we achieve cooperation between systems of different typ...
Reinforcement learning (RL) is explored for motor control of a novel pneumatic-driven soft robot modeled after continuum media with a varying density. This model complies with closed-form Lagrangian dynamics, which fulfills the fundamental structural...
Identification is considered a very important procedure, within the control area, to estimate the best-possible approximate model among different designs. Its significance comes from the fact that more than 75% of the cost associated with an advanced...
Artificial perception for robots operating in outdoor natural environments, including forest scenarios, has been the object of a substantial amount of research for decades. Regardless, this has proven to be one of the most difficult research areas in...
3-XXRRU parallel manipulators (PMs) constitute a family of six-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) PMs with three limbs of type XXRRU, where R and U stand for revolute pair and universal joint, respectively, and XX indicates any actuated two-DOF mechanism that...
Feature extraction plays a crucial role in computer vision and autonomous navigation, offering valuable information for real-time localization and scene understanding. However, although multiple studies investigate keypoint detection and description...
Prosthetic hand systems aim at restoring lost functionality in amputees. Manipulation and grasping are the main functions of the human hand, which are provided by skin sensitivity capable of protecting the hand from damage and perceiving the external...
The Delta robot is a parallel robot that is over-actuated and has a highly nonlinear dynamic model, which poses a significant challenge to its control design. The inverse kinematics that maps the motor angles to the position of the end effector is hi...
