Dual Space Control of a Deployable Cable Driven Robot: Wave Based Approach

Known for their lower costs and numerous applications, cable robots are an attractive research field in robotic community. However, considering the fact that they require an accurate installation procedure and calibration routine, they have not yet found their true place in real-world applications. This paper aims to propose a new controller strategy that requires no meticulous calibration and ...

Manipulation Control of a Flexible Space Free Flying Robot Using Fuzzy Tuning Approach

Cooperative object manipulation control of rigid-flexible multi-body systems in space is studied in this paper. During such tasks, flexible members like solar panels may get vibrated that in turn may lead to some oscillatory disturbing forces on other subsystems, and consequently produces error in the motion of the end-effectors of the cooperative manipulating arms. Therefore, to design and dev...

A Survey of Global Configuration-Space Mapping Techniques for a Single Robot in a Static Environment

The mapping from workspace to configuration space (C-space) plays a major role in the field of kinematics, with applications including robotics path planning, packing and nesting, automated assembly, and mechanism analysis. Over the past 20 years, research into the problem has resulted in many techniques that can be combined to suit a specific application. This survey aims to provide the develo...

Teleoperation with Time Delay a Survey and Its Use in Space Robotics

The existence of time delay in the communication link is one of the most important problems regarding the stability of teleoperation systems. Time delay is specially relevant in ground teleoperation of robots orbiting Earth, with values of round trip delay ranging from 5 to 10 seconds. Many proposals on how to conduct time delayed teleoperation under various circumstances and for different appl...
