In this paper, the adaptive neural network (NN) tracking control problem is addressed for
robot manipulators subject to dead-zone input. The control objective is to design an adaptive …

Robotics is advancing to assist with daily tasks by developing human-like robotic limbs,
which involves challenges in integrating software, control systems, electronics, and …

It is vital to ensure that a robotic hand can successfully grasp the objects without damaging
them. In order to allow a safe grasping, a technique called an active compliance control has …

Human safety becomes critical when robot enters the human environment. Compliant
control can be used to address some safety issues in human-robot physical interaction. This …

Grasp stability is a challenging problem in robotics. It needs to be robust to external
perturbations and adapt to unknown objects. While performing a stable grasp, grip strength …

In order to ensure that a robotic hand can successfully grasp objects without damaging
them, an active compliance control can be a very useful technique to provide a safe …

This paper establishes a novel approach of robotic hand posture and grasping control. For
this purpose, the control uses the operational space approach. This permits the …

Attaining a good positioning control is an important step to be achieved for a robotic hand to
safely grasp an object. The safety of the grasped object can be enhanced by providing a …

This thesis relates to the development of the Ambidextrous Robot Hand engineered in
Brunel University. Assigned to a robotic hand, the ambidextrous feature means that two …

Safety issues have to be enhanced when the robot hand is grasping objects of different
shapes, sizes and stiffness. The inability to control the grasping force and finger stiffness can …
