Although substantial advancements have been achieved in robot-assisted surgery, the
blueprint to existing snake robotics predominantly focuses on the preliminary structural …

The Inverse Kinematics (IK) problem of manipulators can be divided into two distinct
steps:(1) Problem formulation, where the problem is developed into a form which can then …

Compared with traditional industrial robots, a hyper-redundant manipulator (HRM) has
better flexibility, especially in obstacle avoidance, narrow restricted space crossing and fault …

The dynamics modeling and trajectory optimization of a segmented linkage cable-driven
hyper-redundant robot (SL-CDHRR) become more challenging, since there are multiple …

In this paper, an online adaptive strategy based on the Lyapunov stability theory is
presented to solve the inverse kinematics of redundant manipulators. In the proposed …

With many degrees of freedom (DOFs), a hyper-redundant manipulator has superior
dexterity and flexible manipulation ability. However, its inverse kinematics and configuration …

The task of solving Inverse Kinematics (IK) for redundant serial chain manipulators has been
and still continues to be quite challenging in the field of robotics. Researchers from different …

Key challenges found in some facilities maintenance (FM) operations include the
dependency on placing sophisticated workers in undesirable working conditions that could …

This paper presents a sliding mode fuzzy control approach for industrial robots at their static
and near static speed (linear velocities less than 5 cm/s). The extended Kalman filter with its …

The use of space robots (SRs) for on-orbit services (OOSs) has been a hot research topic in
recent years. However, the space unstructured environment (ie: confined spaces, multiple …
