Purpose This study aims to propose a novel method based on model learning with sparsity inducing norms for estimating dynamic gravity terms of the serial manipulators. This method is realized by operating the robot, acquiring data and filtering the features in signal acquisition to adapt to the...

This article describes the Bees Algorithm in standard formulation and presents two applications to real-world continuous optimisation engineering problems. In the first case, the Bees Algorithm is employed to train three artificial neural networks (ANNs) to model the inverse kinematics of the...

This paper presents an adaptive control scheme for a hyper-redundant robot articulated nimble adaptable trunk (ANAT) subject to spatial constraints. An optimization scheme is applied to avoid obstacles in 3D space present in the robot's trajectory by using redundancy, and to prevent the robot...
