A recently developed spatial operator algebra for manipu lator modeling, control, and trajectory
design is dis cussed. The elements of this algebra are linear operators whose domain …

The inverse and forward dynamics problems for multilink serial manipulators are solved by
using recursive techniques from linear filtering and smoothing theory. The pivotal step is to …

The olive stone and seed are an important byproduct generated in the olive oil extraction and
pitted table olive industries. As a lignocellulosic material, the hemicellulose, cellulose and …

A diagonal equation for robot dynamics is developed by combining mass matrix factorization
results with classical Lagrangian mechanics. Diagonalization implies that at each fixed time …

Temperatures in tropical regions are estimated to have increased by 3 to 5C, compared with
Late Paleocene values, during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, 56.3 …

In the olive fruits there is a large amount of bioactive compounds and substances of high
interest. Many of them are known by owing health beneficial properties that contribute to …

The Northern Andes of Colombia is a key locality for understanding tectonic inversion of
symmetric rifts. A review of available data on structural geometry and deformation timing, and …

A telerobotic platform developed in a collaboration between NASA-JPL and MicroDexterity
Systems, Inc (MDS) is described in this paper. The lightweight, compact 6 dof master-slave …

This paper describes a new spatial operator algebra for the dynamics of general {topology
rigid multibody systems. Spatial operators allow a concise and systematic formulation of the …

The dynamics and kinematics of manipulators that have fewer actuators than degrees of
freedom are studied. These underactuated manipulators arise in a number of important …
