Journal ArticleDOI
The dynamic capability equations: a new tool for analyzing robotic manipulator performance
Alan Bowling,Oussama Khatib +1 more
TL;DR: This article focuses on nonredundant manipulators with as many actuators as degrees of freedom, and describes the effect of velocities on these capabilities contributed by the Coriolis and centrifugal forces, as well as the reduction of actuator torque capacity due to motor speed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A smart bed platform for monitoring & Ulcer prevention
Rasoul Yousefi,Sarah Ostadabbas,Miad Faezipour,Mehrdad Nourani,Vincent Ng,Lakshman S. Tamil,Alan Bowling,Deborah Behan,M. Pompeo +8 more
TL;DR: The proposed platform collects information from various sensors incorporated into the bed, analyzes the data to create a time-stamped, whole-body pressure distribution map, and commands the bed's actuators to periodically adjust its surface profile to redistribute pressure over the entire body.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Optimization of the inertial and acceleration characteristics of manipulators
Oussama Khatib,Alan Bowling +1 more
TL;DR: The study of inertial and acceleration properties have provided separate descriptions of the characteristics associated with linear and angular motions, which allows a more physically meaningful interpretation of these properties and provides simple models for their analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Navigability of multi-legged robots
TL;DR: In this article, the improvement of navigability for a six-legged robot through the development of a simple method for measuring heading and drift errors is addressed. But the approach is aimed at operation in unknown environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic Performance, Mobility, and Agility of Multilegged Robots
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method for describing the dynamic performance of multilegged robots by examining how well the legged system uses ground contact to produce acceleration of its body; these abilities are referred to as its force and acceleration capabilities.
