– Future space missions are expected to use robotic systems to assemble, inspect, and maintain large space structures in orbit. To carry out these tasks, robots need to know the ...
Accurate estimation and tracking of dynamic tissue deformation is important to motion compensation, intra-operative surgical guidance and navigation in minimally invasive surgery. ...
— In this paper we present a novel framework for computing the steady turning motion of a robotic fish undergoing periodic body and/or tail deformation. Taking the turning radiu...

Abstract— We derive a local minimum of an elastic potential energy due to the deformation of a hemispherical soft fingertip, and propose a quasi-static manipulation algorithm us...
—Robotic surgical assistants are enhancing physician performance, enabling physicians to perform more delicate and precise minimally invasive surgery. However, these devices are ...
