An ultimate aim of this present paper is to solve application problem such as robot arm and initial value problems by applying Runge-Kutta fifth order five stage numerical techniques. The calculated output for robot arm coincides with exact solution which is found to be better, suitable and feasible for solving real time problems.

Locating known objects is an important task for robots. When a robot has a single camera located in its arm, the robot can use it to get pictures from multiple points of view. These pictures can be used for locating in 3D a desired object, when the object is found on the floor within a bounded distance from the robot. Here we propose a technique for planning a sequence of arm positions to be us...

Introduction One of the most important requirements in robotics is accuracy, and in order to solve this problem robot structures are built very stiff and rigid. In addition, frequently most of today’s analyses and controls of industrial robots are based on the assumption that the robot arm is just a collection of rigid bodies, so that, in order to position the end effector to the commanded loca...

The PUMA (Programmable Universal Machine for Assembly, or Programmable Universal Manipulation Arm) is an industrial robot arm developed at a pioneering robot company Unimation. Application engineering, design experience, and enhanced manufacturing techniques have resulted in a powerful robot line with long reach and heavier payload capabilities. The advanced design and flexibility of the robots...

In this paper, the problem of sensor-based path planning for robot arm manipulators operating among unknown obstacles of arbitrary shape is considered. It has been known that, in principle, algorithms with proven convergence can be designed for planar and simple three-dimensional robot arms operating under such conditions. However, implementation of such algorithms presents a variety of problem...

Assistive humanoid robots operating in everyday life environments have to autonomously navigate and perform several tasks. In this paper we propose a neural network based humanoid robot navigation and arm trajectory generation. The robotic system, which is equipped with a visual sensor, laser range finders, navigates in the environment. The neural controllers generate the robot arm motion in dy...

This paper presents an application of optical word recognition and fuzzy control to a smartphone automatic test system. The system consists of a robot arm and two webcams. After the words from the control panel that represent commands are recognized by the robot system, the robot arm performs the corresponding actions to test the smartphone. One of the webcams is utilized to capture commands on...

This paper presents an approach to robot arm control based on exploiting the dynamical properties of an adaptive oscillator circuit coupled to the joints of an arm. The approach is implemented on a real robot arm, and swings pendulums at their natural frequencies, turns cranks and manipulates slinky toys. These actions are all achieved using the same architecture, without any modeling of the ar...

To open up a highly expanded functionality in direct cooperation with humans regarding mobile service and assistance robotics applications, as well as new applications in the field of automation in industries, the new biologically inspired, lightweight and elastic robot arm “BioRob” offers a new kind of human machine interaction. The functional principle of the robot arm permits the system to a...

Using pliable materials for the construction of robot bodies presents new and interesting challenges for the robotics community. Within the EU project entitled STIFFness controllable Flexible & Learnable manipulator for surgical Operations (STIFF-FLOP), a bendable, segmented robot arm has been developed. The exterior of the arm is composed of a soft material (silicone), encasing an internal str...
