— We present a novel way of modeling wheeled vehicles on outdoor terrains. Adapting concepts from dextrous manipulation, we precisely model the way that three dimensional wheels ...
— In this paper we discuss the integration of active and passive approaches to robotic safety in an overall scheme for real-time manipulator control. The active control approach ...
— This paper presents an approach for producing virtual fixture based on simulated plasticity, which can be used for assisting precise manual manipulations performed by human us...
Abstract— For robotic manipulation tasks in uncertain environments, good force control can provide significant benefits. The design of force-controlled actuators typically revo...
