— Efficient, reliable and flexible handling is still very challenging in micromanipulation and micro-assembly. In this paper, we propose an original thermally actuated gripper b...
— Humans rely on information-laden high-frequency accelerations in addition to quasi-static forces when interacting with objects via a handheld tool. Telerobotic systems have tra...
Part feeders, which singulate and orient parts prior to packing and insertion, are critical components of an assembly line. Existing feeders utilize o -plane vibrations of a rigid...
— Skid-steered vehicles, by design, must skid in order to maneuver. The skidding causes the vehicle to behave discontinuously as well as introduces complications to the observati...
Abstract. In recent years simulation tools for agent-environment interactions have included increasingly complex and physically realistic conditions. These simulations pose challen...
