Incorporating intelligence in industrial systems can help to increase productivity, cut-off
production costs, and to improve working conditions and safety in industrial environments …

Sensors provide robotic systems with the information required to perceive the changes that
happen in unstructured environments and modify their actions accordingly. The robotic …

The control of robots that interact with the environment is an open area of research. Two
applications that benefit from this study are: the control of the force exerted by a robot on an …

Tactile sensing provides critical information, such as force, texture, shape or temperature, in
manipulation tasks. In particular, tactile sensors traditionally used in robotics are …

Flexible manipulators have many advantages over rigid robots when used in grasping tasks,
owing to the characteristic flexibility of the materials used in their construction, which allow …

This study focuses on vibration control design of a flexible single‐link manipulator (FSLM)
system and discusses its application on an experimental platform. A spatiotemporal …

In this paper, the motion equations of n-flexible-link robotic manipulators constructed of
functionally graded materials, whose properties vary continuously along the axial direction …

This article presents an efficient scheme based on fractional order sliding mode control
approach for precision tip position control of a single link flexible robot arm. The proposed …

Adaptive grippers should be able to detect and recognize grasping objects. To be able to do
