This work presents a novel vision-force based interface; allowing a local operator to visually specify a path constraint to a remote robot manipulator. By using our interface the operator is able to control a 7-DOF arm with only 2-DOF. Our interface aims to reduce task complexity and operator cognitive load. We illustrate our approach with 2 mock-up examples: 1) Closing a steam valve, 2) Gluing...

The paper presents the design and fabrication of each part and construction of a 4 axes mobile robot with indigenous components and to control it with a personal computer using the java language. The main objective of this work is to design, fabricate a modular simple low-cost indigenously developed educational full fledged robotic control system named as “OCTAGON” that could accomplish 2 dimen...

Background: In traditional laparoscopic hysterectomy, an assistant is typically assigned to hold a uterus manipulator to facilitate the surgical procedures. The responsibility of the assistant is to position the uterus according to the primary surgeon’s instructions. Throughout the surgery, which typically lasts more than 90 min, the assistant has to support the uterus manipulator with his/her ...

This paper presents the design assumptions, 3D model, electronics, control and actual implementation of a programmable model an industrial robotic arm used to transport parts with small masses. The communicates via Wi-Fi, has user interface, keyboard alphanumeric display. necessary calculations were made for torques arm's drives used, its mechanical electronics schematic are presented.

Robot arm is often used in industry with various tasks, one of which a pick and place. Rapid prototyping robot arms needed to facilitate the development many industrial especially on laboratory scale. This study aims design small-scale three degree freedom (3-DoF) for place mission using inverse kinematics method. The mechanical robotic system designed Solidworks four servo motors as actuator. ...
