This paper presents a novel control system for redundant mobile manipulators to track simultaneously separate mobile platform and end-effector trajectories. Two Joint-dependent control variables are introduced to the task vector. These two control variables are D and α, where D is the Euclidean distance between the end-effector's, and the mobile platform's frames origins, and α is the angle of the...
In this paper, optimized combined control of a 9-DoF prototype wheelchair-mounted robotic arm (WMRA) system, consisting of a 7-DoF manipulator and a 2-DoF power wheelchair, is demonstrated using vision-based dual-trajectory control that generates separate wheelchair and end-effector trajectories. Physical results of this work are provided with a “Go to and Pick Up” task. Image-based visual servoing...
A 9-Dof wheelchair mounted robotic arm system (WMRA) has been developed to assist wheelchair-bound persons with upper limb motion limitations to perform activities of daily living (ADL) tasks. In this paper, we utilize mobile manipulation control to keep the end-effector stationary while moving the base and vice versa. This allows easier execution of a group of pre-set ADL tasks including opening...
Wheelchair-bound persons with upper limb motion limitations can utilize a wheelchair-mounted robotic arm (WMRA) to perform activities of daily living (ADL) tasks. In this paper, an optimized control of our 9-DoF system, consisting of a 7-DoF robotic arm and a 2-DoF power wheelchair, is achieved. For effective ADL task execution, positioning the end-effector with proper wheelchair orientation was optimized...
In order to perform activities of daily living (ADL), a person with an amputation(s) must use a greater than normal range of movement from other anatomical body joints to compensate for the loss of movement caused by the amputation, this is called compensatory motion. By studying the compensatory motion of prosthetic users the mechanics of how they adapt to the loss of range of motion in a given limb...
In this paper we present a novel concept of shared autonomous and teleoperation control of a remote manipulator with a laser-based assistance in a hard real-time environment for people with disabilities to perform activities of daily living (ADL). The laser pointer enables the user to make high-level decisions, such as target object selection, and it enables the system to generate a trajectories and...
