    • Distance-based position analysis of the three seven-link Assur kinematic chains 

      Rojas Libreros, Nicolás Enrique; Thomas, Federico (2011-02)
      Article
      Accés obert
      The position analysis of planar linkages has been dominated by resultant elimination and tangent-half-angle substitution techniques applied to sets of kinematic loop equations. This analysis is thus reduced to finding ...

      Article
      Accés obert
      Many skeletonisation algorithms for discrete volumes have been proposed. Despite its simplicity, the one given here still has many theoretically favorable properties. Actually, it provides a connected surface skeleton that ...

      Article
      Accés obert
      The conditions for a parallel manipulator to be flagged can be simply expressed in terms of linear dependencies between the coordinates of its leg attachments, both on the base and on the platform. These dependencies permit ...

      Accés obert
      Distance-based formulations have successfully been used to obtain closure polynomialsfor planar mechanisms without relying, in most cases, on variable eliminations. The methods re-sulting from previous attempts to generalize ...

      Article
      Accés obert
      This paper shows how to generate under-actuated manipulators by substituting nonholonomic spherical pairs (nS pairs) for (holonomic) spherical pairs (S pairs) in ordinary (i.e. not under-actuated) manipulators. As a case ...

      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      It will be shown how to generate under-actuated manipulators by substituting non-holonomic spherical pairs (nS pairs) for (holonomic) spherical pairs (S pairs) in fully-parallel manipulators (FPMs). Through this pair ...
    • Geometric path planning without maneuvers for nonholonomic parallel orienting robots 

      Grosch Obregon, Patrick John; Thomas, Federico (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016-07)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Current geometric path planners for nonholonomic parallel orienting robots generate maneuvers consisting of a sequence of moves connected by zero-velocity points. The need for these maneuvers restrains the use of this kind ...
    • Grasping unknown objects in clutter by superquadric representation 

      Makhal, Abhijit; Thomas, Federico; Pérez Gracia, Alba (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      In this paper, a quick and efficient method is presented for grasping unknown objects in clutter. The grasping method relies on real-time superquadric (SQ) representation of partial view objects and incomplete object ...
    • Hand-eye calibration made easy through a closed-form two-stage method 

      Sarabandi, Soheil; Porta Pleite, Josep Maria; Thomas, Federico (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
      Article
      Accés obert
      An analysis of the existing hand-eye calibration methods reveals that most of them are far from trivial. And, what is worse, their intrinsic complexity makes it difficult to elucidate under which circumstances they fail ...

      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      Kazuki Abe and his collaborators have recently presented an actuated gear-based spherical mechanism called ABENICS. It has received a lot of attention, not only because of its eye-catching motions during operation, but ...

      Borràs Sol, Júlia; Thomas, Federico (IEEE, 2009-05-31)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      When the attachments of five legs in a Stewart platform are collinear on one side and coplanar on the other, the platform is said to contain a line-plane subassembly. This paper is devoted to the kinematics analysis of ...

      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      Designing a robot manipulator with fewer actuators than the dimension of its configuration space —to reduce bulk, weight and cost— becomes feasible by introducing mechanical elements that lead to non-holonomic constraints. ...

      Article
      Accés obert
      The identification of the relative position of two real coplanar ellipses can be reduced to the identification of the nature of the singular conics in the pencil they define and, in general, their location with respect to ...

      Thomas, Federico (2023)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      It is well known that the singularities of a Gough-Stewart platform arise when the determinant of the Plücker coordinates of the robot leg lines vanish. The direct expansion of this determinant in terms of the configuration ...
