A new approach to avoid tip-over on mobile manipulators JF - ITECKNE JA - ITECKNE VL - 13 IS - 1 SE - Research and Innovation Articles DO - https://doi.org/10.15332/iteckne.v13i1.1377 UR - http://revistas.ustabuca.edu.co/index.php/ITECKNE/article/view/1377 AB - Many future applications of robotics systems will  require  that  manipulators  perform  operations while  being  carried  by  moving  vehicles.  However,  different from  a  manipulator  fixed  on  the  floor,  such  a  vehicle-mounted mobile manipulator might be unstable or even tip  over,  this condition  may  be  because  the  center  of mass  is  over  the  mobile  platform  by  the manipulator’s weight.  This  paper  presents  a  new  technique  to  avoid tip-over  condition  using  the  concept  of  minimal  distance  between  the  manipulator  rotational  center  and  the projection  mass  center  arc  in  the  soil  with  the  object of modificate the gravity center of the et changing the manipulator rotational position on mobile platform, the final objective is to compensate the rotational moment at low velocity using counter-balance concept.
