Safe trajectory of a piece moved by a robot
This addresses a domain-specific physical problem in robotics, but appears incremental as it builds on existing theory without clear novel applications.
The authors tackled the problem of modeling stresses and deformations in a metal piece moved by a robot, using Kirchoff plate theory to derive equations and presenting a solution for a one-dimensional analog.
In this work, we propose a mathematical model for a physical problem based on the movement of a metal piece held by a robot. Using the principles of Kirchoff plate theory, a set of equations determining stresses and deformations caused during the motion, have been provided. We also discuss possible numerical treatment of these equations and finally, a solution to the one-dimensional analog of the problem has been presented.
