Distributed Manipulation of Multiple Objects using Ropes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a system in which multiple robots cooperate to move multiple objects such as groups of boxes using a constrained prehensile manipulation mode, by wrapping ropes around them. The system consists of three manipulation skills: tieing ropes around objects, affecting rotations using a flossing manipulation gait, and affecting translations using a ratcheting manipulation gait. We present algorithms for these operations, a numerical analysis for the motion of groups of boxes, and experimental results.

Experiments in Constrained Prehensile Manipulation: Distributed Manipulation with Ropes
This paper describes our experiments with a distributed manipulation system. We study a system in which multiple robots cooperate to move large objects such as furniture and boxes using a constrained prehensile manipulation mode, by wrapping ropes around them. The system consists of three manipulation skills: tieing ropes around objects, affecting translations using a flossing manipulation gait...
متن کاملDistributed optical fibre sensing in synthetic fibre ropes and cables
Distributed strain measurements on synthetic fibre ropes as used in marine applications are reported. The ropes incorporate single mode fibre-optic sensors for strain measurement. A Brillouin-amplification-based distributed strain measuring system has been utilised to interrogate the fibre sensors incorporated into a parallel yarn aramid rope. Initial results are presented to conclusively demon...

Introduction: Radiation imaging is one of the applicable methods in diagnostic medicine and nondestructive testing for industrial applications. In nondestructive 3D imaging, in addition to the radiation source, there is a requirement for a suitable detection system, data acquisition system, mechanical sections for moving objects, reconstruction algorithm and finally a computer for processing an...
متن کاملTowards a Task Planning for Deformable Object Manipulation { Formulation and Computation of Linear Object Deformation
A systematic approach to the static analysis of deformation of linear objects such as cords and ropes is presented. There exists many manipulative operations that deal with deformable objects in environments that robots are expected to take active parts, while rigid object manipulation has been a main interest in most of the task planning researches. Manipulative operations that deal with defor...
متن کاملExperimental Evaluation of Coir: A System for Control and Data Parallelism
Though data-parallelism addresses a wide variety of problems in scientiic computing, this model in inadequate for general adaptive applications. Coir is our object-oriented thread-based model for data and task parallelism 25, 22, 24]. In this paper we brieey discuss the Coir objects-thread objects for control-parallelism and groups of thread objects, called ropes, for data-parallelism. Using an...
