Al-Assadi AU - Ahmed Jaffar ED - Aleksandar Lazinica ED - Hiroyuki Kawai Y1 - 2010-04-01 PY - 2010 T1 - Development of Adaptive Learning Control Algorithm for a Two-Degree-of-Freedom Serial Ball And Socket Actuator N2 - Robot manipulators are developing more in the direction of industrial robots than of human workers. Recently, the applications of robot manipulators are spreading their focus, for example Da Vinci as a medical robot, ASIMO as a humanoid robot and so on. There are many research topics within the field of robot manipulators, e.g. motion planning, cooperation with a human, and fusion with external sensors like vision, haptic and force, etc. Moreover, these include both technical problems in the industry and theoretical problems in the academic fields. This book is a collection of papers presenting the latest research issues from around the world.
