Synthesis of Cartesian Stiffness for Robotic Applications

A new, systematic approach to the synthesis of Cartesian sti®ness by springs is presented using screw (spatial vector) algebra. The space of solutions is fully characterized for all sti®nesses realizable by springs. The main result shows that a rank r sti®ness can always be synthesized by r springs. Further, it can also be synthesized by an arbitrarily large number of springs greater than r: Sy...

Cartesian coordinate control for redundant modular robots

This paper is focused on the kinematic control of redundant modular robots for trajectory tracing. Based on the geometric numerical inverse kinematic algorithm developed for modular robots, a new online control method is presented. In this method, the inverse kinematic solution can be optimized through constructing a weighted matrix. Following this approach, some fundamental interpolation algor...
