Inverse kinematics (IK) is the use of kinematic equations to determine the joint parameters of
a manipulator so that the end effector moves to a desired position; IK can be applied in many …

Solving the inverse kinematics problem is a fundamental challenge in motion planning,
control, and calibration for articulated robots. Kinematic models for these robots are typically …

In this paper, a novel and fast memetic evolutionary algorithm is presented which can solve
fully constrained generic inverse kinematics with multiple end effectors and goal objectives …

Many problems in robotics are fundamentally problems of geometry, which have led to an
increased research effort in geometric methods for robotics in recent years. The results were …

The increasing aging population highlights the critical need for elderly-friendly architectural
environments. Existing architecture design guidelines often overlook the varied needs of …

Remote collaborative work has become pervasive in many settings, ranging from
engineering to medical professions. Users are im-mersed in virtual environments and …

Motion capture sequences may contain erroneous data, especially when the motion is
complex or performers are interacting closely and occlusions are frequent. Common practice …

The inverse kinematics (IK) problem of cable-driven manipulators with pure rolling joints
(CDM-PRJs) presents unique challenges due to the equal angle constraints and strict joint …

Continuum robots and manipulators attracted lots of attention in the past decade owing to
