A robotic manipulator operating within a confined space ideally positions its end-effector with minimal spatial displacement of each link. Achieving certain poses can require large overall the hardware. This work inves- tigates effect an additional degree freedom (DOF) at KUKA LBR iiwa14 arm by assessing occupied during 6 manipulation tasks and dexterity workspace.

We discuss the assessment of breakdown probabilities by means of the up-and-down method. The exact maximum likelihood estimates for a number of response patterns are calculated for three different distribution functions and are compared with the estimates corresponding to the normal distribution. Estimates of the 50% probability breakdown voltage and of the scale parameter of the breakdown prob...
