A new lockable spherical joint is proposed in this paper, and it can be used as a revolute
joint, a universal joint or a spherical joint. Three locking methods are introduced to construct …

In this study, a novel mobile robot that can throw precisely a stone in a curling match is
introduced. This mobile robot plays alongside a human team. Several requirements for …

This article presents an improved position control method of an overhang-type rail system
considering a curved path. The designed system is driven by two BLAC (brushless ac) …

In this paper, a six-degree-of-freedom (DOF) motion platform based on spherical wheels is
presented to improve design and motion control from the earlier design. The motion platform …

This paper presents a novel arbitrary curved path control scheme to reduce the unbalance
load between traction motors and position error at the designed rail-guided surveillance …

This paper presents a methodology to aid the development of multi-agent cyber-physical
systems. The software architecture is structured in a multi-layer fashion, distributed on …

This paper presents a generalized flexible Hybrid Cable-Driven Robot (HCDR). For the
proposed HCDR, the derivation of the equations of motion and proof provide a very effective …

This paper presents the development of a six degree-of-freedom (DOF) motion platform
based on omni-spherical wheels. Various motion platforms have been developed for motion …

This paper presents the design and position control scheme of an overhang-type rail mover
system driven by a dual Brushless AC (BLAC) motor with a simple Hall position sensor …

We introduce a framework for cooperative manipulation, applied on an underactuated
manipulation problem. Two stationary robotic manipulators are required to cooperate in …
