We present a novel technique for the automatic adaptation of a deformable model's elastic parameters within a Kalman filter framework for shape estimation applications. The no...
Image segmentation is defined as partitioning an image into non-overlapping regions based on the intensity or texture. The active contour methods provide an effective way for segm...
Continuum robots, which are composed of multiple concentric, precurved elastic tubes, can provide dexterity at diameters equivalent to standard surgical needles. Recent mechanicsba...

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud computing offers new possibilities to scientific communities. One of the most significant is the ability to elastically provision and relin...
— This paper proposes a new contact deformation model between a hemispherical soft fingertip and an object. First, we develop our proposed contact model, in which an elastic pot...
