Beverly F. Payne, Richard A. Allen, Colleen E. Hood
Improvements in shaker design and laser vibrometer development has provided more precise calibration of accelerometers. Calibrations are performed at frequencies from 1Hz to 20 kHz with improved uncertainty and improved efficiency. The vibrometer mounting

Mobile Manipulator Stability Measurements

April 18, 2017
Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, Tsai H. Hong
Mobile manipulators are being marketed for material handling and other tasks. Manufacturers suggest the stability of the vehicle best when the onboard loading tapers the centroid to the center of the wheelbase as the payload height increases. Experiments
