Normally when you hear the words “rope” and “dog” in the same sentence, you think about a dog on a leash, but in this robot dog, the rope is what makes it move, not what stops it from going too far.

Redundant manipulators, endowed with more degrees of freedom than minimally required, offer enhanced flexibility and adaptability in achieving complex end-effector tasks. The inverse kinematics (IK) ...

New software optimizes kinematics and plans paths for custom robots handling multiple axes. Flexible Robotic Environment (FRE) software was written by Bicommerce LLC, Rapid City, S. D., and it also ...

Non-Cartesian actuators are improving applications where they weren't even feasible before. Full definition of their dynamics and kinematics helps designers extract maximum performance from these ...

Integrated motion control allows all kinds of robots to tackle a range of tasks with precision, in contrast with conventional machinery.

Robotic arms and legs provide robots with reach and the ability to affect the robot’s position and its environment. This book examines the process of controlling and tracking robotic limbs. It ...
