Development of a dynamics model for the Baxter robot (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Smith, A., Yang, C., Li, C., Ma, H., & Zhao, L. (2016). Development of a dynamics model for the Baxter robot. . https://doi.org/10.1109/ICMA.2016.7558740

© 2016 IEEE. The dynamics model of a robot is important to find the relation between the joint actuator torques and the resulting motion. There are two common methods to do this: The Lagrange formulation, which gives a closed form of the dynamics equ... Read More about Development of a dynamics model for the Baxter robot.

Enhancing student learning of human-computer interaction using a contextual mobile application (2016)
Conference Proceeding

Control of mobile robot for remote medical examination: Design concepts and users' feedback from experimental studies (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Wysokinski, A., Szczesniak-Stanczyk, D., Cholewinski, M., Drwiega, M., Arent, K., Jakubiak, J., …Wysokiński, A. (2016). Control of mobile robot for remote medical examination: Design concepts and users' feedback from experimental studies. . https://doi.org/10.1109/HSI.2016.7529612

© 2016 IEEE. In this article we discuss movement control of a ReMeDi medical mobile robot from the user perspective. The control is essentially limited to the level of operator actions where the operator is a member of a nursing staff. Two working mo...
