Abstract. This paper proposes a nonlinear controller to extend the Zwidth of a haptic device. A time-domain passivity analysis of the Z-width diagram leads to the new haptic contro...
Contact in a typical haptic environment resembles the experience of tapping on soft foam, rather than on a hard object. Event-based, high-frequency transient forces must be superi...
This paper describes the successful combination of pre-generated and dynamically updated image-based representations to accelerate the visualization of complex virtual environment...
A new class of FPGA-based accelerators is presented for Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP). The accelerators contain a genetic engine which is reused in all applications. Candidat...
Rendering and animating in real-time a multitude of articulated characters presents a real challenge and few hardware systems are up to the task. Up to now little research has bee...
