In order to properly integrate humanoid robots in real-life situations, they must be able to collaborate with humans in completing tasks. One of these tasks is the cooperative transportation of a heavy object, which has been widely studied in the humanoids literature. However, the proposed methods r…
In this paper, we propose a preliminary definition and analysis of the novel concept of sensor observability index. The goal is to analyse and evaluate the performance of distributed directional or axial-based sensors to observe specific axes in task space as a function of joint configuration in ser…
Micromanipulation of individual biological cells, such as embryos during preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), is a delicate and time-consuming task. Two major procedures in PGD include the rotation of the embryo to gain a more favorable position for zona breaching, and the extraction of a blasto…
