We present an efficient method to evaluate distances between dynamic obstacles and a number of points of interests (e.g., placed on the links of a robot) when using multiple depth cameras. A depth-space oriented discretization of the Cartesian space is introduced that represents at best the workspac
We consider the problem of extracting a complete set of numerical parameters that characterize the robot dynamics, starting from the identified values of dynamic coefficients that linearly parametrize the robot dynamic equations. This information is relevant when realistic dynamic simulations have t
During human-robot interaction tasks, a human may physically touch a robot and engage in a collaboration phase with exchange of contact forces and/or requiring coordinated motion of a common contact point. Under the premise of keeping the interaction safe, the robot controller should impose a desire…
Our recently developed Reverse Priority (RP) redundancy resolution method is extended here to the presence of unilateral constraints. The RP method computes the solution to a stack of prioritized tasks starting from the lowest priority one, and adding iteratively the contributions of higher priority…
