Tracking human motion is an integral part to developing powerful human-computer interfaces. Several successful tracking algorithms were developed that model human body as an articulated tree. We propose a learning-based method for creating such articulated models from observations of multiple rigid motions. This paper is concerned with recovering topology of the articulated model, when the rigi...

A bstract-The design and implementation of a microprocessor-based system to control the interaction forces between a five-axis articulated robot and a workpiece is described. The control system worked in parallel with a robot controller by calculating position corrections that allowed forces to be controlled in the desired manner. These corrections were successfully interfaced to the controller...

Robotic arm is a mechanical arm to perform the desired task. In today’s world there is an increasing need to create artificial arms for different inhuman situations where human interaction is difficult or impossible. Humans pick things up without thinking about the steps involved. So the robotic arm is controlled manually by using wired and wireless. In this paper, various methods were studied ...

The groundwork for a contact calibration methodology using a touch probe is developed for an articulated robot arm. This solution is framed within current calibration and metrology issues in robotics based upon the kinematical mechanical design of a serial link manipulator. Accuracy, repeatability, and resolution are explored and a simplistic approach is taken. This exercise is intended to lay ...

Industrial requirements concerning the increased efficiency and high rate of manufacturing result in the development of manufacturer robots, and a vast group of these types of robots is used for welding. This study presented the design, analysis, and simulation of a pipe-welding robot with fixed plinth for a constant circular welding around the pipes. Design of a welding robot capable of keepin...

This paper derives a direct constraint satissed by points on the axis of articulation of a compound object. A minimum of three views of the articulated object in motion are required to recover the projective position of the articulation axis. No camera calibration is required. The method given here is a signiicant improvement on a previous method, doing away entirely with the need to use the fu...
