Hierarchically Accelerated Coverage Path Planning for Redundant Manipulators
Yeping Wang, Michael Gleicher
Many robotic applications, such as sanding, polishing, wiping and sensor scanning, require a manipulator to dexterously cover a surface using its end-effector. In this paper, we pr…
Anytime Planning for End-Effector Trajectory Tracking
Yeping Wang, Michael Gleicher
End-effector trajectory tracking algorithms find joint motions that drive robot manipulators to track reference trajectories. In practical scenarios, anytime algorithms are preferr…
Motion Comparator: Visual Comparison of Robot Motions
Yeping Wang, Alexander Peseckis, Zelong Jiang +1
Roboticists compare robot motions for tasks such as parameter tuning, troubleshooting, and deciding between possible motions. However, most existing visualization tools are designe…
IKLink: End-Effector Trajectory Tracking with Minimal Reconfigurations
Yeping Wang, Carter Sifferman, Michael Gleicher
Many applications require a robot to accurately track reference end-effector trajectories. Certain trajectories may not be tracked as single, continuous paths due to the robot's ki…
Exploiting Task Tolerances in Mimicry-based Telemanipulation
Yeping Wang, Carter Sifferman, Michael Gleicher
We explore task tolerances, i.e., allowable position or rotation inaccuracy, as an important resource to facilitate smooth and effective telemanipulation. Task tolerances provide a…
