    A Control Method for Joint Torque Minimization of Redundant Manipulators Handling Large External Forces

    No full text
    © 2019, The Author(s). In this paper, a control method is developed for minimizing joint torque on a redundant manipulator where an external force acts on the end-effector. Using null space control, the redundant task is designed to minimize the torque required to oppose the external force, and reduce the dynamic torque. Furthermore, the joint motion can be weighted to factor in physical constraints such as joint limits, collision avoidance, etc. Conventional methods for joint torque minimization only consider the internal dynamics of the manipulator. If external forces acting on the end-effector are inadvertently implemented in to these control methods this could lead to joint configurations that amplify the resulting joint torque. The proposed control method is verified through two different case studies. The first case study involves simulation of high-pressure blasting. The second is a simulation of a manipulator lifting and moving a heavy object. The results show that the proposed control method reduces overall joint torque compared to conventional methods. Furthermore, the joint torque is minimized such that there is potential for a manipulator to execute certain tasks beyond its nominal payload capacity

    Volar Ulnar Approach to the Distal Radius and Carpus

    No full text
    This safe and extensile approach provides excellent exposure of the flexor tendons in the palm, distal radius, distal radioulnar joint and carpus, and can be used to expose any pathology on the volar aspect of the wrist. Using a volar ulnar incision, the ulnar neurovascular bundle is identified and extensively released. The transverse carpal ligament is divided at its ulnar attachment, and the finger flexor tendons are retracted radially to expose the volar wrist capsule and the pronator quadratus. These latter structures can be divided to expose the carpus and distal radius, respectively. Forty-four patients were reviewed, and 46 procedures were performed. The approach was used for a spectrum of indications and often included complex injuries or disorders of the wrist. Patients reported a low level of pain and a high level of satisfaction. There were no neurovascular complications. </jats:p
