چکیده
The Modular Distributed Manipulator System (MDMS) is a macroscopic actuator array which can manipulate objects in the plane. The piecewiseconstant dynamics of manipulation on the MDMS are developed based on an exact discrete representation of the system. The resulting dynamics are inverted enabling the calculation of an open-loop vector eld which provides arbitrary uniform object dynamics. The vector eld positions, and under certain assumptions, orients objects.

متن کاملDistributed Manipulation Using Discrete Actuator Arrays
Distributed manipulation systems induce motions on objects through the application of many external forces. An actuator array performs distributed manipulation using a planar array of many small stationary elements (which are called cells) that cooperate to manipulate larger objects. Typically, highly dense actuator arrays are modeled as spatially continuous, programmable force fields, although...

متن کاملDiscreteness Issues in Actuator Arrays
An actuator array is a form of distributed manipulation where an object being transported and manipulated rests on a large number of stationary supporting actuators. The authors have developed a macroscopic actuator array consisting of many motorized wheels. The analysis of such an array as opposed to a MEMS array requires the explicit modeling of the discreteness in the system, including the s...
