In this paper an algorithm based on the adaptive neuro-fuzzy controller is provided to enhance the tipover stability of mobile manipulators when they are subjected to predefined trajectories for the end-effector and the vehicle. The controller creates proper configurations for the manipulator to prevent the robot from being overturned. The optimal configuration and thus the most favorable contr...

The use of robotic technologies for caregiving and assistance has become a very interesting research topic in the field robotics. Towards this goal, researchers at Politecnico di Torino are developing solutions indoor assistance. This paper presents D.O.T. PAQUITOP project, which aims mobile assistant hospital environment. robot is composed custom omnidirectional platform, named PAQUITOP, comme...

This article presents a standardized human–robot teleoperation interface (HRTI) evaluation scheme for mobile manipulators. Teleoperation remains the predominant control type manipulators in open environments, particularly quadruped However, manipulators, especially are relatively novel systems to be implemented industry compared traditional machinery. Consequently, no method has been establishe...

Inspired by infant development theories, a robotic developmental model combined with game elements is proposed in this paper. This model does not require the definition of specific developmental goals for the robot, but the developmental goals are implied in the goals of a series of game tasks. The games are characterized into a sequence of game modes based on the complexity of the game tasks f...
