Abstract The study in this paper allows us to control the manipulator and achieve any desired position orientation. Forward Kinematics was done using Denavait Hartenberg (DH) parameters, also forward kinematics equations homogenous transformation matrix validated MATLAB Toolbox. modeling carried out Peter Corke robotics toolbox. Finally, kinematic robot arm’s movement were compared with practic...

— For robotic manipulators that are redundant or with high degrees of freedom, an analytical solution to the inverse kinematics is very difficult or impossible. As alternative approaches, neural networks and optimal search methods have been widely used for inverse kinematics modeling and control in robotics. This paper presents a first analytical solution to the inverse kinematics of a widely u...

Abstract Variable Stiffness Actuator (VSA) is the core mechanism to achieve physical human–robot interaction, which an inevitable development trend in robotic. The existing variable stiffness actuators are basically single degree-of-freedom (DOF) rotating joints, achieving multi-DOF motion by cascades and resulting complex robot body structures. In this paper, integrated 2-DOF actuator with pro...

EUROPA (External Use of Robotics for Payload Automation) is a robotic experiment formerly designed to fly on the International Space Station (ISS) and to perform a realistic end-to-end robotic technology demonstration in exposed environment. The overall scenario is depicted in Figure 1. The robotic workcell design includes: • the robotic arm, based on the existing ASI 7 dof SPIDER arm, used to ...

The dynamic model of a UAV with an attached robotic arm is derived in a symbolic matrix form through the Euler-Lagrangian formalism. A Cartesian impedance control, which provides a dynamic relationship between external generalized forces acting on the structure and the system motion, is then designed. The hovering control of a quadrotor, equipped with a 3-DOF robotic arm and subject to contact ...

This paper presents a complete forward and inverse kinematics solution for SG5-UT, 5 DOF robotic arm. The solution is intended to be implemented on a microprocessor to control the arm in any environment. The control presented in the paper makes it possible to manipulate the arm to any reachable position. The algorithm derived in this paper has been successfully tested on the arm. This arm is an...
