Among the underwater robotic systems that are currently available, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are the most commonly used underwater robotic systems. A ROV is an underwater vehicle that is controlled from a mother-ship by human operators. Sometimes a ROV is equipped with one or more robotic manipulators to perform underwater tasks.

Passive path tracking training is usually used for robot assisted lower limb rehabilitation. The movement of will cause the fluctuation joint force. This letter presents an optimal planning algorithm to reduce patient's force caused by a moveable multifunction rehabilitation during passive pedaling training. dynamics model human-robot system established, and forces patient are analysed. process...

Throughout the world, researchers are improving robots to enable them to do more complex tasks with less human intervention. One aspect of this research is the complex path-planning problem. Path planning derives collisionfree paths to enable robot manipulators to move from one location to another. Collision detection is straightforward using geometry, and moving a manipulator in an environment...

Mission planning is one of the core steps to effectively exploit the capabilities of multi-level cooperative control of multiple semi-autonomous entities, such as Unmanned Aerospace Vehicles (UAVs). In this paper, we describe a methodology of Team Dynamics and Tactics (TDT) for mission planning in a military operation. This method for mission planning is implemented in a TDT module for an inter...

In a highly competitive market, BT faces tough challenges as a service provider for telecommunication solutions. A proactive approach to the management of its resources is absolutely mandatory for its success. In this paper, an AI-based planning system for the management of parts of BT’s field force is presented. FieldPlan provides resource managers with full visibility of supply and demand, of...

39 For successful object manipulation, the central nervous system must appropriately 40 coordinate digit placement and force distribution. It is known that digit force planning is 41 significantly influenced by previous manipulations even when object properties cannot be 42 predicted on a trial-to-trial basis. We sought to determine if this effect extends beyond 43 force control to the coordina...

Abstract: In order to utilize hydrodynamic drag force on articulated robots moving in an underwater environment, an optimum motion planning procedure is proposed. The drag force acting on cylindrical underwater arms is modeled and a directional drag measure is defined as a quantitative measure of reaction force in a specific direction in a workspace. A repetitive trajectory planning method is f...

For successful object manipulation, the central nervous system must appropriately coordinate digit placement and force distribution. It is known that digit force planning is significantly influenced by previous manipulations even when object properties cannot be predicted on a trial-to-trial basis. We sought to determine whether this effect extends beyond force control to the coordination of di...
