The following problem appears in robotics. A number of small, circular robots live in a common planar workspace. Each is attached by a exible cable of nite length to a point on the boundary of this workspace. Each robot has a target point in the workspace it must reach. When a robot has reached its target, its cable will have been dragged out into the workspace and possibly pushed and bent by o...

When using web services to perform complex data manipulations, users and administrators need control over how their changes are managed and seen by other clients of the service. This includes support for undo of changes, batch publishing of many changes, ‘what if’ analysis, the collaboration of several people in making and approving a complex change, workspace based access control, and the audi...

The Accurate calculation of the workspace and joint space for 3 RPS parallel robotic manipulator is a highly addressed research work across the world. Researchers have proposed a variety of methods to calculate these parameters. In the present context a cylindrical algebraic decomposition based method is proposed to model the workspace and joint space. It is a well know feature that this robot ...

In this article, the workspace of planar wire-actuated parallel manipulators is studied. The investigation is based on two methods: an analytical method which formulates the workspace envelope by means of Cramer’s rule pertaining to the Jacobian matrix and the null space method from static analysis of manipulator. The workspace envelope method is extended to analyzing redundant planar manipulat...

being one of the major research fields in the robotics discipline, the robot motion planning problem deals with finding an obstacle-free start-to-goal path for a robot navigating among workspace obstacles. such a problem is also encountered in path planning of intelligent vehicles and automatic guided vehicles (agvs). traditional (exact) algorithms have failed to solve the problem effectively s...

We present the Hbot, a holonomic, singularity-free spherical robot designed for haptic simulations. The Hbot is made up of a caged sphere actuated by steered and driven nonholonomic wheels to produce continuous and unlimited spherical motions. We analyse the kinematic interface between a sphere and n arbitrarily positioned, steered and driven non-holonomic wheels in the general case. We also pr...

The problem of information system (IS) workspace design is analysed. Different conceptions for IS workspace structure design are overviewed. Conceptions are based on Oracle CASE method, IDEF and UML application approach. The structure of the output driven requirements specification method is described. An approach to IS workspace design based on information flows specification is proposed. Some...
