...Paolo Boscariol; Alessandro Gasparetto; Vanni Zanotto In order to develop an efficient and fast position control for robotic manipulators, vibration phenomena have to be taken into account. Vibrations are mainly caused by the flexibility of manipulator linkages, especially when dealing with high...

... function. Second, approximate conditions of parametric resonance are derived by a method of stationarization (describing functions of time-variant elements). The approach is illustrated by two examples. One is a robot-manipulator arm (distributed mechanical parameter system) controlled by a controller...

We will show that DP is effective at reducing residual oscillations for nonlinear systems, as demonstrated by both simulations and experimental validation. Residual oscillations were suppressed...

...Graziano Chesi; Domenico Prattichizzo; Antonio Vicino This paper deals with visual servoing for 6-degree-of-freedom robot manipulators, and considers the problem of establishing whether and how it is possible to reach the desired location while keeping all features in the field of view...

... constrained position trajectory in response to the locally measured interaction force. It is shown that the actuators, which form a multiagent learning system, can learn decentralized control strategies that reduce the object interaction forces and thus greatly improve their coordination on the manipulation...

...Przemysław Herman The precise control of a manipulator depends on its velocity as well as on its configuration and dynamic properties. This paper presents some observations that can serve as a useful tool for identifying nonlinear ear effects in a manipulator. The tool is based on equations...

A 2-DOF planar manipulator activated by McKibben actuators was constructed for the purpose of demonstrating the application of the EP hypothesis on an inexpensive robotic platform, such as might be used in domestic applications. The equilibrium angle and stiffness of each of the joints...
