In this work, a novel comprehensive scheme for the coordinated control of remotely operated vehicle-manipulator systems (ROVMs) is proposed. In the proposed scheme, instead of commanding the motion of the vehicle and the manipulator separately, a human pilot commands only the manipulator's end-effector motion using a parallel- architectured six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) joystick. The generated reference...
A simple, under-actuated robotic winch, called the “Winch-Bot,” is developed for surface inspection of a large object. The Winch-Bot, placed over an object surface, has only one actuator for tracing a free geometric path in a vertical plane. The cable length is controlled in relation to the direction of the cable so that the inspection end-effecter hanging at the tip of the cable can follow the path...
