      Article
      Accés obert
      An image can be seen as an element of a vector space and hence it can be expressed in as a linear combination of the elements of any non necessarily orthogonal basis of this space. After giving a matrix formulation of this ...

      Kinodynamic RRT planners are effective tools for finding feasible trajectories in many classes of robotic systems. However, they are hard to apply to systems with closed-kinematic chains, like parallel robots, cooperating ...
    • A reconfigurable asymmetric 3-UPU parallel robot 

      Sarabandi, Soheil; Grosch Obregon, Patrick John; Porta Pleite, Josep Maria; Thomas, Federico (2018)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      Parallel robots with three UPU legs have received a lot of attention due to the possibility of assembling these legs so that the robot performs either a pure translational or a pure rotational motion. Nevertheless, some ...
    • A singularity-robust LQR controller for parallel robots 

      Bordalba Llaberia, Ricard; Porta Pleite, Josep Maria; Ros Giralt, Lluís (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      Parallel robots exhibit the so-called forward singularities, which complicate substantially the planning and control of their motions. Often, such complications are circumvented by restricting the motions to singularity-free ...
    • A space decomposition method for path planning of loop linkages 

      Porta Pleite, Josep Maria; Cortés, Juan; Ros Giralt, Lluís; Thomas, Federico (2007)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      This paper introduces box approximations as a new tool for path planning of closed-loop linkages. Box approximations are finite collections of rectangloids that tightly envelop the robot's free space at a desired resolution. ...

      Sarabandi, Soheil; Thomas, Federico (Springer International Publishing, 2018)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      The main non-singular alternative to 3×3 proper orthogonal matrices, for representing rotations in R3, is quaternions. Thus, it is important to have reliable methods to pass from one representation to the other. While ...
