Transparent haptic rendering of the contact between a tool and its environment requires very frequent update of the contact forces acting on the tool. Given a rigid tool and a def...
We present motion planning for dexterous manipulation by whole arm grasp system based on switching contact modes. Motion planning for such a system should consider changing dynami...
Existing contact modeling in rigid body simulation is inadequate for robotics: no algorithms guarantee both convergence and nonpenetration at multiple contact points in the presen...
Robotic grasps exhibiting visco-elastic contact interactions with the manipulated object are considered. Control of internalforces is investigated. Thepresence of nonnegligible co...
Background: Estimators of free energies are routinely used to judge the quality of protein structural models. As these estimators still present inaccuracies, they are frequently e...
