In field environments it is not usually possible to provide robots in advance with valid geometric models of its environment and task element locations. The robot or robot teams ne...
This paper describes the theory and implementation of a discrete mechanics model for deformable bodies, incorporating behavior such as motion, collision, deformation etc. The mode...
STRANDS are thin elastic solids that are visually well approximated as smooth curves, and yet possess essential physical behaviors characteristic of solid objects such as twisting...
Abstract— Continuum robots made from telescoping precurved elastic tubes enable base-mounted actuators to specify the curved shapes of robots as thin as standard surgical needles...
