Abstract
The concepts of staging and bracing arc introduced with the specific example of a bracing manipulator.
Staging describes the operational strategy which divides the positioning procedure into two or more levels to
maximize the efficiency of the total positioning system. A bracing manipulator can be operated like a two-stage
motion system.
The bracing effect is evaluated from the view point of reduction of positioning uncertainty. Uncertainty
sources in the manipulator, and the reduction of the positioning uncertainty by geometric bracing constraints
arc analyzed. The framework of controlling a bracing manipulator will be discussed with the hybrid position
and force control.
