- Additional information
- This paper presents a robotic anchoring module, a sensorized mechanism for attachment to the environment that can be integrated into robots to enable or enhance various functions such as robot mobility, remaining on location or its ability to manipulate objects. The proposed anchoring module can enable many industrial and medical applications where attachment to environment is of crucial importance for robot control.
