Abstract: The introduction of intrinsic compliance in the design of robots allows to reduce the risk for humans working in the vicinity of a robotic cell. Indeed, it permits to decouple the dynamic effects of the links’ inertia from ...

Abstract: This paper presents the wrench capability analysis, the controller design, and experimental results of an aerial robot flying gripper. This robot uses four quadrotors to actuate four fingers such as to grasp and manipulate ...

Abstract: The R-Min robot is an intrinsically safe parallel manipulator dedicated to pick-and-place operations. The proposed architecture is based on a five-bar mechanism, with additional passive joints in order to obtain a planar ...
