 The BIGSS lab is developing a minimally-invasive surgical workstation to treat the osteolytic lesions using using a snake like dexterous manipulator (SDM).  The SDM will be positioned in the workspace by a robotic arm.  The focus of this project is integrating the SDM with the robotic armwhich is a 6 DOF Universal Robot (UR5) and position control of the tip of the SDM inside the lesion area.

At the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics of the German Aerospace Center (DLR Oberpfaffenhofen), a robotic hand-arm system is being developed, which will consist of a 19 active degree-of-freedom (DoF) hand and a 7 active DoF flexible arm based on antagonistic drive principles. It is targeted to mimic human hand and arm motion as closely as possible, taking kinematic as well as dynamic range...

LARM clutched arm is a novel robotic structure with only one motor, where a proper clutched system provides 1-DOF dexterous mobility in 3D space. In this paper, modelling for the proposed mechanical design has been completed in ADAMS environment, with details like mass properties and friction coefficients. In particular, clutched system in the shoulder has been modelled suitably as key part of ...

In this paper, an application of the dynamics and control of redundant robotic systems is presented in order to investigate the feasibility of functional electrical stimulation assisted arm-free standing for paraplegics. Through the inverse dynamics analysis of a three dimensional dynamic model of quiet standing, several sets of the minimum number of degrees of freedom (DOF) such that there are...

This paper analyzes the performance of a robotic system with two machines in which machines are configured in a circular layout and produce non-identical parts repetitively. The non-destructive testing (NDT) is performed by a stationary robotic arm located in the center of the circle, or a cluster tool. The robotic arm integrates multiple tasks, mainly the NDT of the part and its transition bet...
