The paper focuses on the kinematics control of a compliant serial manipulator composed of a new type of dualtriangle elastic segments. Some useful optimization techniques were applied to solve the geometric redundancy problem, ensure the stability of the manipulator configurations with respect to the external forces/torques applied to the endeffector. The efficiency of the developed control algorisms is confirmed by simulation.

The paper focuses on the mechanics of a compliant serial manipulator composed of new type of dual-triangle elastic segments. Both the analytical and numerical methods were used to find the manipulator stable and unstable equilibrium configurations, as well as to predict corresponding manipulator shapes. The stiffness analysis was carried on for both loaded and unloaded modes, the stiffness matrices were computed using the Virtual Joint Method (VJM). The results demonstrate that either buckling or quasi-buckling phenomenon may occur under the loading, if the manipulator corresponding initial configuration is straight or non-straight one. Relevant simulation results are presented that confirm the theoretical study.
The paper focuses on the redundancy resolution in kinematic control of a new type of serial manipulator composed of multiple tensegrity segments, which are moving in a multi-obstacle environment. The general problem is decomposed into two sub-problems, which deal with collision-free path planning for the robot end-effector and collision-free motion planning for the robot body. The first of them is solved via discrete dynamic programming, the second one is worked out using quadratic programming with mixed linear equality/nonequality constraints. Efficiency of the proposed technique is confirmed by simulation.
The paper focuses on the stiffness modeling of a new type of compliant manipulator and its non-linear behavior while interacting with the environment. The manipulator under study is a serial mechanical structure composed of dualtriangle segments. The main attention is paid to the initial straight configuration which may suddenly change its shape under the loading. It was discovered that under the external loading such manipulator may have six equilibrium configurations but only two of them are stable. In the neighborhood of these configurations, the manipulator behavior was analyzed using the Virtual Joint Method (VJM). This approach allowed us to propose an analytical technique for computing a critical force causing the buckling and evaluate the manipulator shape under the loading. A relevant simulation study confirmed the validity of the developed technique and its advantages in non-linear stiffness analysis.
This work addresses the problem of kinematic trajectory planning for mobile manipulators with non-holonomic constraints, and holonomic operational-space tracking constraints. We obtain whole-body trajectories and time-varying kinematic feedback controllers by solving a Constrained Sequential Linear Quadratic Optimal Control problem. The employed algorithm features high efficiency through a continuous-time formulation that benefits from adaptive step-size integrators and through linear complexity in the number of integration steps. In a first application example, we solve kinematic trajectory planning problems for a 26 DoF wheeled robot. In a second example, we apply Constrained SLQ to a real-world mobile manipulator in a receding-horizon optimal control fashion, where we obtain optimal controllers and plans at rates up to 100 Hz.
The paper derives the inverse and the forward kinematic equations of a serial - parallel 5-axis machine tool: the VERNE machine. This machine is composed of a three-degree-of-freedom (DOF) parallel module and a two-DOF serial tilting table. The parallel module consists of a moving platform that is connected to a fixed base by three non-identical legs. These legs are connected in a way that the combined effects of the three legs lead to an over-constrained mechanism with complex motion. This motion is defined as a simultaneous combination of rotation and translation. In this paper we propose symbolical methods that able to calculate all kinematic solutions and identify the acceptable one by adding analytical constraint on the disposition of legs of the parallel module.
