  • motion Control of 7 dof arms the Configuration Control approach
    International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 1993
    Co-Authors: H Seraji, M Long, Thomas S Lee
    Abstract:

    Graphics simulation and real-time implementation of Configuration Control schemes for a redundant seven-degree-of-freedom (7-DOF) Robotics Research arm are described. The arm kinematics and motion Control schemes are described briefly. This is followed by a description of a graphics simulation environment for 7-DOF arm Control on the Silicon Graphics IRIS Workstation. Computer simulation results are presented to demonstrate elbow Control, collision avoidance, and optimal joint movement as redundancy resolution goals. The laboratory setup for experimental validation of motion Control of the 7-DOF Robotics Research arm is then described. The Configuration Control approach is implemented on a Motorola-68020/VME-bus-based real-time Controller, with elbow positioning for redundancy resolution. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of Configuration Control for real-time Control. >

  • efficiency meets accountability performance implications of supply chain Configuration Control and capabilities
    Journal of Operations Management, 2011
    Co-Authors: Anne Parmigiani, Robert D Klassen, Michael V Russo
    Abstract:

    Abstract The public increasingly holds firms accountable for social and environmental outcomes, such as product toxicity problems and human rights violations, throughout their global supply chains. How can companies improve the social and environmental performance within their supply chains, particularly as other competitive pressures, such as cost and quality, continue to escalate? Starting from an efficient versus responsive supply chain framework, we develop an integrative model that blends together elements of supply chain Configuration, stakeholder management, and capability development. Specifically, we spotlight the dimensions of Control and accountability that collectively determine stakeholder exposure, and show how this new construct affects the linkages between supply chain capabilities, Configuration, and performance. In particular, this analysis reveals that the nature of stakeholder exposure determines how social/environmental technical and relational capabilities impact social and environmental outcomes. We conclude with implications for research and practice, discussing how current supply chain theories must be extended to incorporate external stakeholders, to clarify strategies and identify potential pitfalls, and to better predict performance outcomes.
