State-machine mobile robot that detects colored objects and sorts them into matching collection zones using roadmap planning and wall-avoidance — modeled and validated in MATLAB/Simulink (Stevens ME ...

Inverse kinematics (IK) is a key problem within the discipline of robotics, involving the computation of the joint motions required to position an end-effector of a robot in a specific pose 1. Whereas ...

Without a suitable framework, it is rather difficult for students, engineers or researchers to evaluate the relevance of a parameter identificaiton method for a given scenario. It should work on Mac ...

The Africa Program achieves its mission through in-depth research that offers practical solutions to key challenges in US-Africa relations. The Africa Program's flagship initiatives include the ...

Introduction In the rapidly evolving landscape of automotive manufacturing, the precision robotic arm stands as a cornerstone technology, revolutionizing high-stakes processes such as robotic welding, ...

This paper introduces a compact end-effector ankle rehabilitation robot (CEARR) system for addressing ankle range of motion (ROM) rehabilitation. The CEARR features a bilaterally symmetrical ...

Sprained ankles are the most commonly diagnosed injury seen by healthcare providers and are projected to account for up to 30% of sports medicine injuries, with lateral ankle sprain being the most ...

This paper presents a novel visual-admittance-based model predictive control scheme to cope with the problem of vision/force control and several constraints of a nuclear collaborative robotic visual ...

Wheels are very effective for locomotion on flat surfaces but are not suitable for climbing. Most modern vehicles and mobile robots use wheels for locomotion on horizontal terrains. However, wheels ...

Many small organisms produce ultrafast movements by storing elastic energy and mediating its storage and rapid release through a latching mechanism. The mantis shrimp in particular imparts extreme ...
