Enhancement of Force Exertion Capability of a Mobile Manipulator by Kinematic Reconfiguration

RA-L 2020

With the increasing applications of wheeled mobile manipulators (WMMs), new challenges have arisen in terms of executing high-force tasks while maintaining precise trajectory tracking. A WMM, which consists of a manipulator mounted on a mobile base, is often a kinematically redundant robot. The exis

Application of a Redundant Haptic Interface in Enhancing Soft-Tissue Stiffness Discrimination

RA-L 2019

Haptic-enabled teleoperated surgical systems have the potential to enhance the accuracy and performance of surgical interventions. The user interface of such a system can provide haptic feedback to the surgeon to more intuitively perform surgical tasks. In this letter, we study the added benefits of
