The purpose of this paper is to describe the design, development and simulation of a real time controller for an intelligent, vision guided robot. The use of a creative controller that can select its own tasks is demonstrated. This creative controller uses a task control center and dynamic database. The dynamic database stores both global environmental information and local information includin...

—In unconstrained environments, teleoperation exists in consumer-level robots. Motion capture technology has been shown to shrink the skill gap between end user and of robots, however, equipment is getting more expensive complex such as with motion suits. This paper provides a vision-based method camera reduce costs make accessible for consumers. The hand coordinates received from are estimated...

This paper provides an overview of a new manipulation system developed for sampling and instrument placement from small autonomous mobile robots for Mars exploration. Selected out of the design space, two manipulators have been constructed and integrated into the Rocky 7 Mars rover prototype 1. This paper describes the design objectives and constraints for these manipulators, and presents the n...

1.1 Overview In this book chapter a comparative assessment of modelling and control of mechanical manipulator is considered. First, kinematic and dynamic modelling of wide range of mechanical manipulators comprising flexible link, flexible joint and mobile manipulators are considered. Then, open-loop optimal control problem is formulated to control of the obtained system. Finally, some applicat...
