This paper presents an optimized integrated task planning and control approach for manipulating a nonholonomic robot by mobile manipulators. Then, we derive a kinematics model and a mobility of the mobile manipulator(M2) platform considering it as the combined system of the manipulator and the mobile robot. to improve task execution efficiency utilizing the redundancy, optimal trajectory of the...

The goal of this project was to design and implement the electronics for a robotic device – namely a robotic manipulator. The manipulator has a total of six degrees of freedom, three of which are on the manipulator itself, and the rest are in the wrist. A gripper is used as the end stage of the device. It was necessary to design the electronics so that they could be interfaced with standard har...

Mobile robotic systems, which include a mobile platform with one or more manipulators, mounted at specific locations on the mobile base, are of great interest in a number of applications. In this paper, after thorough kinematic studies on the platform and manipulator motions, a systematic methodology will be presented to obtain the dynamic equations for such systems without violating the base n...

A national research and development program on Underground Development Technology has started in 1989. In this program, a basic study of a excavating robot has been done at the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory. This paper describes an experimental mobile manipulator for the excavating task. Four legs and a pair of crawlers are equipped with the mobile platform, and a manipulator is set on it. ...

A wheeled mobile manipulator system is modeled using Kane’s dynamic equations. Kane’s equations are constructed with minimum effort, are control oriented and provide both physical insight and fast simulations. The powerful tools of Kane’s approach for incorporating nonholonomic motion constraints and bringing noncontributing forces into evidence are exploited. Both nonholonomic constraints asso...
