Abstract
A new study on Robotics is now available. According to news reporting out of Zurich, Switzerland, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "The kinematic motion of a robotic character is defined by its mechanical joints and actuators that restrict the relative motion of its rigid components. Designing robots that perform a given target motion as closely as possible with a fixed number of actuated degrees of freedom is challenging, especially for robots that form kinematic loops." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Disney Research, "In this paper, we propose a technique that simultaneously solves for optimal design and control parameters for a robotic character whose design is parameterized with configurable joints. At the technical core of our technique is an efficient solution strategy that uses dynamic programming to solve for optimal state, control, and design parameters, together with a strategy to remove redundant constraints that commonly exist in general robot assemblies with kinematic loops."
