The application area mechanical manipulators covers all the core competences in LINK-SIC with emphasis on sensor fusion, modeling, identification, control and optimization. The common theme for the research within the application area is that the considered system includes a moving mechanical manipulation device with a purpose to act on the environment.
An example is a crane system that automatically should collect and move a container from a truck to storage place in shortest possible time, still maintaining the mechanic and geometric constraints imposed for lifetime and safety. Another example is a non-rigid robot arm that should follow a desired path with high accuracy, considering measurement of input angles, before the flexibility, and indirect measurements from the tool, such as from an IMU.
