In this work, a framework is presented that makes it possible to reproduce the challenging operational scenario of controlling offshore cranes via a laboratory setup. This framework can be used for testing different control methods and for training purposes. The system consists of an industrial robot, the Kuka KR 6 R900 SIXX (KR AGILUS) manipulator and a motion platform with three degrees of freedom...
ModGrasp, an open-source virtual and physical rapid-prototyping framework that allows for the design, simulation and control of low-cost sensorised modular hands, was previously introduced by our research group. ModGrasp combines the rapid-prototyping approach with the modular concept, making it possible to model different manipulator configurations. Virtual and physical prototypes can be linked in...
In [1], a flexible and general control system architecture that allows for modelling, simulation and control of different models of maritime cranes and, more generally, robotic arms was previously presented by our research group. Each manipulator can be controlled by using the same universal input device regardless of differences in size, kinematic structure, degrees of freedom (DOFs), body morphology,...
This paper introduces ModGrasp, an open-source virtual and physical rapid-prototyping framework that allows for the design, simulation and control of low-cost sensorised modular hands. By combining the rapid-prototyping approach with the modular concept, different manipulator configurations can be modelled. A real-time one-to-one correspondence between virtual and physical prototypes is established...
This paper introduces JOpenShowVar, a Java open-source cross-platform communication interface to Kuka robots that allows for reading and writing variables and data structures of the controlled manipulators. This interface, which is compatible with all Kuka robots that use KR C4 and previous versions, runs as a client on a remote computer connected with the Kuka controller via TCP/IP. JOpenShowVar...
This paper introduces a flexible and general control system architecture that allows for modelling, simulation and control of different models of maritime cranes and, more generally, robotic arms by using the same universal input device regardless of their differences in size, kinematic structure, degrees of freedom, body morphology, constraints and affordances. The manipulators that are to be controlled...
