Multibody Mechanical Systems SMC Control Framework
Asıf Şabanoviç

Abstract: Tomorrow's robots will operate in human environments, where efficient manipulation and locomotion, and safe contact interactions will be critical design factors. We will discuss our recent efforts into these issues presented as a constrained multibody mechanical systems control framework. This framework integrates task-oriented dynamic control and control prioritization allowing to control multiple task primitives while complying with physical and movement-related constraints.
