Abstract: The natural and forced motion of a rotor configuration comprised of a constant thickness, annular plate fixed at the inner boundary to a rigid core and at the outer boundary to a symmetric, ...

Abstract: Graphically simulated “configuration maps” are used to plan manipulator paths in two-dimensions. Configuration maps represent a transformation of the Cartesian workspace into the manipulator joint ...

Abstract: An efficient subspace approach is used to find collision-free paths in congested workspaces for a general class of robots having revolute and/or prismatic joints. A three-dimensional joint space ...
