While most previous work in planning manipulation tasks relies on the assumption of quasi-static conditions, there can be situations where the quasi-static assumption may not hold...
— Facing new tasks, the conventional rigid design of robotic joints has come to its limits. Operating in unknown environments current robots are prone to failure when hitting unf...
Manipulation in immersive virtual environments is difficult partly because users must do without the haptic contact with real objects they rely on in the real world to orient them...

— In this paper, a new tool dedicated to the analysis and the conception of molecules is presented. It is composed of an adaptive simulation software and a haptic device used to ...
The ChainMail system is a scalable electronic sensate skin that is designed as a dense sensor network. ChainMail is built from small (1”x1”) rigid circuit boards attached to t...
