This paper considers grasps and fixtures whose contacts react according to force-displacement laws consistent with friction constrains at the contacts. The passive force closure s...
— Unlike active force closure, which is a property for the multi-finger robotic hand grasping, passive force closure are involved in the grasping systems with constraining devic...
Deformation at contacts between the workpiece and locators/clamps resulting from large contact forces causes overall workpiece displacement, and affects the localization accuracy o...
This paper presents an algorithm for computing the distance between a point and a convex cone in n-dimensional space. The convex cone is specified by the set of all nonnegative com...
