Abstract: Presented in this paper is a feature-based method for selecting an optimal (minimum yet sufficient) set of modules necessary to form a reconfigurable machine tool for producing a part family. ...

Abstract: In this paper, an adaptive controller is developed for the pressure tracking of the pressurized toolhead in order to maintain the constant contact stress for the polishing process. This is a ...

Abstract: In this paper, the structural design of modular reconfigurable robots (MRRs) is studied. This problem is defined as the determination of proper module sizes according to the robot’s payload and ...
