Duchenne muscular dystrophy leaves patients with severe dependency on health care. In an effort to increase independence and quality of life, active exoskeletons are developed to support activities of daily living. This study is dedicated to the development and assessment of three different admittan…
The paper focuses on the mechatronic design of a robotic manipulator that is meant to be mounted on an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and to be used in industrial applications, for both aerial inspection by contact and aerial manipulation. The combination of an UAV and the robotic manipulator realize…
This paper proposes a modeling method for generic serial-chain compliant robotic manipulators. It is based on graph theory and port-Hamiltonian systems, which allows a modular approach to the interconnection of rigid bodies with compliant actuators by means of kinematic pairs. This modularity allows…
