In this paper, we have performed the kinematic identification and repeatability analysis of LBR iiwa 7 R800 (7 axis serial link robot) using monocular camera mounted at the end-effector of the robot. We started the process with the camera calibration process to identify intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the camera used. In order to determine the pose of the end-effector using camera for repeatability analysis, we have used a 9x6 checkerboard for the repeatability experiment and for kinematic identification we have used ArUco markers. For repeatability analysis, we have used poses from ISO 9283 standards. Also we have used dispersion as a statistical means for quantifying the repeatability analysis. Subsequently, we have compared the results of kinematic identification with those from laser sensors and the theoretical CAD data sheet provided for the robot. Also in this paper, the algorithm has been introduced for measuring repeatability under force control mode and consequently, a single point repeatabilty has been evaluated.
While it is commonly observed that the shape dynamics of mammalian cells can undergo large random fluctuations, theoretical models aiming at capturing cell mechanics often focus on the deterministic part of the motion...

Traditional driver-automation interaction trades control over the vehicle back and forth between driver and automation. Haptic shared control offers an alternative by continuously sharing the control through torques on the steering wheel and pedals. When designing additional feedback torques, part of the design choice lies in the stiffness around the neutral steering point: also called the Level of Haptic Authority (LoHA), which is usually static and tuned to balance safety benefits (better at high LoHA) with conflicts torques in case of different intentions between automation and driver (higher conflict torques with increased LoHA). In this paper we explore the idea of situation-adaptive LoHA: in this case during lane-keeping by changing the LoHA based on time to lane crossing (TLC). Consequently, when safety margins are high (e.g., when driving on a wide road) the LoHA is low, but the LoHA would only increase when safety margins decrease. We propose two alternative design approaches to apply the LoHA: symmetrically and asymmetrically (i.e., only increase of LoHA in the direction of the low TLC). We compared these design in an explorative driving simulator study (n=14) to driving with two static LoHA designs (low and high). We found that compared to the high LoHA controller, both adaptive LoHA controllers designs resulted in similar safety margins, but at decreased conflict torques. Hence, a TLC-based adaptive LoHA controller seems to be an effective approach to mitigate conflicts while maintaining the safety benefits associated with HSC.
