Hierarchical Kinematic Analysis of a Redundant Robot

  • Chapter

Abstract

This paper briefly reviews the hierarchical kinematic analysis, and apply it to a redundant manipulator. This application is done by extending the Jacobian matrix of the redundant manipulator with a careful selection of an extra row. This method is applied to the Roboturb manipulator, a redundant robot specifically designed to repair eroded hydraulic turbine blades.
