Estimation of Inertial Parameters of Rigid Body Links of Manipulators
(1986-02-01)
A method of estimating the mass, the location of center of mass, and the moments of inertia of each rigid body link of a robot during general manipulator movement is presented. The algorithm is derived from the ...
Planning of Minimum-Time Trajectories for Robot Arms
(1984-11-01)
The minimum-time for a robot arm has been a longstanding and unsolved problem of considerable interest. We present a general solution to this problem that involves joint-space tesselation, a dynamic time-scaling ...
The Computational Approach to Vision and Motor Control
(1985-08-01)
Over the past decade it has become increasingly clear that to understand the brain, we must study not only its biochemical and biophysical mechanisms and its outward perceptual and physical behavior. We also must study ...
Computers, Brains, and the Control of Movement
(1982-06-01)
Many of the problems associated with the planning and execution of human arm trajectories are illuminated by planning and control strategies which have been developed for robotic manipulators. This comparison may ...
Workshop on the Design and Control of Dextrous Hands
(1982-04-01)
The Workshop for the Design and Control of Dexterous Hands was held at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory on November 5-6, 1981. Outside experts were brought together to discuss four topics: kinematics of hands, ...
Redundancy Resolution of Manipulators through Torque Optimization
(1986-01-01)
Methods for resolving kinematic redundancies of manipulators by the effect on joint torque are examined. When the generalized inverse is formulated in terms of accelerations and incorporated into the dynamics, the ...
