Abstract—A methodology for estimating the force distribution that occurs along a needle shaft during insertion is described. To validate the approach, an experimental system for ...
This paper describes a probabilistic framework to estimate the shape and position of multiple fish in a school. We model the fish shape as an ellipsoid with a curvature coefficient...
— Tool-body assimilation is one of the intelligent human abilities. Through trial and experience, humans are capable of using tools as if they are part of their own bodies. This ...
