A measure of manipulability is very useful in manipulator designing, task planning, and enables manipulators recover faster from the escapable singular points.
Since there is no parallelogram in the third leg, the architecture of the new manipulator is simpler.
Maximum values are excluded when the manipulator is at or near a singular configuration.
The controllability-centered performance evaluation of mobile manipulators promoted in this paper relies on the linear controllability.
The joint space of the manipulator (or configuration space) is defined as the space in which all the actuated joint variables are represented.
Because of joint flexibility, the manipulators are difficult to calibrate kinematically.
A heavy-duty mobile manipulator while carrying a load, experiencing a force, or operating on uneven terrain needs to maintain its balance.
Four positions to be visited by a two link manipulator.
