Modular robots hold the promise of versatility in that their components can be re-arranged to
adapt the robot design to a task at deployment time. Even for the simplest designs …

Overhead manipulation tasks often require collaborations between two operators, which
becomes challenging in confined spaces such as in a compartment. Supernumerary Robotic …

Researchers often deal with the synthesis of the kinematic structure of a robotic manipulator
to determine the optimal manipulator for a given task. This approach can lower the cost of …

With the increased demand for customisation, developing task-specific robots for industrial

Due to the ever-increasing demand for food commodities and issues arising in their
transport from rural to urban areas, commercial agricultural practices with the help of vertical …

Existing work on sequential manipulation planning and trajectory optimization typically
assumes the robot, environment and tools to be given. However, in particular in industrial …

In design, fabrication, and control problems, we are often faced with the task of synthesis, in
which we must generate an object or configuration that satisfies a set of constraints while …

This paper presents a set of algorithms for the synthesis of kinematic structures of serial
manipulators using multiple constraint formulation and provides a performance comparison …

Customization of manipulators having unconventional parameters and link shapes have
gained attention to accomplish nonrepetitive tasks in a given cluttered environment …
