Fingerprint matching is affected by the nonlinear distortion introduced in fingerprint impressions during the image acquisition process. This nonlinear deformation causes finger...
— This paper discusses an optimum design approach for robotic hands by considering the characteristics of viscoelasticity of food. “Norimaki-sushi” is taken as an example for...
— Neural networks have been proposed as an ideal cognitive modeling methodology to deal with the symbol grounding problem. More recently, such neural network approaches have been...
— This paper describes the dynamic modeling of linear object deformation based on differential geometry coordinates. Deformable linear objects such as cables and strings are wide...
—while dealing with sub-micrometer precision robots, thermal expansion is the most significant source of inaccuracy. Thermal variations in the environment, in the robot parts a...
