Motion capture is widely used for character animation. One of the major challenges of this technique is how to modify the captured motion in plausible ways. Previous work has focused on transformations based on kinematics and dynamics, but has not explicitly taken into account the emerging knowledge of how humans control their movement. In this paper, we show how this can be done using a simple...

We propose a method for dual-arm manipulation of rigid objects, subject to external disturbance. The problem is formulated as a Cartesian impedance controller within a projected inverse dynamics framework. We use the constrained component of the controller to enforce contact and the unconstrained controller to accomplish the task with a desired 6DOF impedance behaviour. Furthermore, the propose...

The calculation of forces in the kinematic pairs of mechanisms by inverse dynamics is usually performed without friction considerations. In practice, when examination of articulated mechanisms takes into account friction, the solution of the inverse dynamics results in a complex procedure. If a modular approach for the inverse dynamics is used, then exact solutions are available, but not necess...

This paper deals with an inverse optimal H1 disturbance attenuation for the planar manipulators with the eye-in-hand system. The input-to-state stability control Lyapunov function (ISS-CLF) is constructed the full Lagrangian dynamics based on a potential function of the image feature parameter space. The ISS-CLF gives us an inverse optimalH1 control law. A proposed controller solves the inverse...

Abstract-This paper suggests an inverse optimal PID control design method for mechanical manipulators. We find the Lyapunov function and the control law satisfying the disturbance input-to-state stability by using the characteristics of Lagrange system. Also, we show that the inverse optimal PID controller satisfies the HamiltonJacobi-Isaacs equation. Hence, the inverse optimality of the closed...

This paper addresses the development of inverse compensation techniques for a class of ferromagnetic transducers including magnetostrictive actuators. If unaccommodated, the hys-teresis and nonlinear dynamics can produce severe loss of control authority and potential instabilities when the actuators are incorporated in control design. In this work, hysteresis is modeled through the domain wall ...

In this paper the kinematics, (position, velocities and accelerations) and the dynamics of a 6-RUS parallel manipulator by using the natural coordinates are analysed. One numerical example of kinematics and inverse dynamics is presented.

In this paper, the new concept of the dynamic singular configuration of flexible manipulators is proposed. When we control flexible manipulators using the inverse dynamics method, we need to consider this dynamic singular configuration of flexible manipulators. Without considering it, the control around the dynamic singular configuration may become unstable. As an example, we derive the dynamic...

To compensate for missing functions of lower extremity amputees, this paper proposes a model of an intelligent bionic leg semi-actively controlled by a magnetorheological damper (MRD). A mechanical structure of the leg is designed, and with the help of Bouc-Wen model, a MRD forward dynamics model is constructed for simulation. On the basis of data obtained from simulations, the MRD inverse dyna...

This paper presents the concept of a cable-manipulator based 6-DOF hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) dynamics simulation system for testing and verification of microgravity contact-dynamics behavior of a space system. It then focuses on the inverse dynamics problem of the 6-DOF cable-driven manipulator which is designed for the simulation system. Accurate modeling and solution of the inverse dynamics ...
