— Piezoelectric cantilevers have proved their performances for actuating microgrippers dedicated to micromanipulation and microassembly tasks. While the control of one degree-of-...
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 our experience towards the conception of a virtual reality medical simulator coupled with haptic interaction aimed at training surgeons. This area of research h...
This paper describes a complete and efficient vision system developed for the robotic soccer team of the University of Aveiro, CAMBADA (Cooperative Autonomous Mobile roBots with A...
— Most robotic vision algorithms are proposed by envisaging robots operating in structured environments where the world is assumed to be rigid. These algorithms fail to provide o...
