Abstract: In a conventional bilateral teleoperation, transmission delay over the Internet can potentially cause instability. A wave variable algorithm guarantees teleoperation stability under varying transmission ...

Abstract: This article focuses on Internet-based real time control, such as remote bilateral teleoperation. In such applications, it is required that the control loop be closed through a time delayed ...

Abstract: A manipulator system with a large workspace volume and high payload capacity has greater link flexibility than do typical industrial robots and teleoperators. If link flexibility is significant, ...

Abstract: The transfer matrix method (TMM) can be a powerful tool for modeling flexible structures under feedback control. It is particularly well suited to modeling structures composed of serially connected ...

Abstract: Comand shaping, a feedforward approach used to control flexible manipulators, performs most effectively when applied to a linear system. In practice, various nonlinearities are present in a given ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel hydraulic circuit for a single rod cylinder controlled by a variable displacement pump. The circuit arrangement not only gives the system high energy efficiency but ...
