There is an ever-increasing demand for underwater inspections to assess environmental risk and extreme events. During these inspections, devices can acquire data that can enrich these analyses. Underwater robots can accomplish this task. However, they should move in unstructured environments, which require maneuverability and energy efficiency. This work proposes designing a bioinspired s…
The design of high-performance manipulators requires not only a proper choice of the kinematic architecture but also the reduction of its inertia and the use of more advanced control strategies. Although parallel kinematic machines have a high dynamic capacity, the complexity of their control strategies imposes an important technical difficulty for their applicability. This complexity ari…

Some ways to obtain dynamic models for the control of flexible and parallel manipulators are the Lagrange multipliers and finite element methods; however, they are not suitable for every type of system. In some cases, these methods end up being too slow for control implementation, as the generated model is large-scale. Thus, a different method of obtaining dynamic models should be used, a…
Dynamic models are essential not only in the design of a system, but also in its automation and diagnosis of anomalies. However, any simulation approach is subject to the impact of physical equations, uncertain parameters or methodological approximations. Furthermore, the accuracy of these models also faces limits in predicting the unique manufacturing and operating conditions that the re…
Parallel manipulators may have higher speed/acceleration ratios and energy efficiency when compared with serial manipulators. In addition, reducing their components' inertia can further improve performance. However, this design alternative might yield vibrations requiring the implementation of novel joint and task space control strategies. While the former involves precise models, the lat…
Traction control is a system that makes it possible to extract the maximum available traction from the tires without skidding and wasting energy. Therefore, implementing this control is vital not only to guarantee the vehicle's safety but also to improve its performance considerably and, in the case of electric and hybrid vehicles, extend the battery charge. In this way, the development o…
There is an increasing demand for subsea inspections to assess environmental risks and extreme events. During these inspections, devices can acquire data that can enrich such analyses. Underwater robots can perform this task, and for that, they need to be maneuverable and energy-efficient. Locomotion in complex and unstructured environments is the main reason for the development of soft r…

The candidate João Cavalcanti Santos has been working on parallel kinematic machines with kinematic redundancy on the project FAPESP 2014/21946-2. Despite all promising results obtained so far (see the partial report and its evaluation in attached files), their applicability in industrial problems is rather limited due to complicated trajectory planning and control strategies.
