High-level controllers that operate robots in dynamic, uncertain domains are concerned with at least two reasoning tasks dealing with the effects of noisy sensors and effectors: T...
Grasping a curved object free in the plane may be done through rolling a pair of fingers on the object’s boundary. Each finger is equipped with a tactile sensor able to record...
A supply chain network can be viewed as a network of facilities in which a customer order will flow through internal business processes such as procurement, production, and transp...
Current manufacturing methods for robotic-controlled assembly rely on accurate positioning to ensure task completion, often through the use of special xtures and precise calibrati...
The aim of this paper is to characterize the notion of aspect in the workspace and in the joint space for parallel manipulators. In opposite to the serial manipulators, the parall...
