We present a theory of qualitative rigid body mechanics and describe a program that uses this theory to compute qualitative dynamic simulations.1 The program works directly from a...

We present a system for rendering planar rigid-body motion by means of a redundant parallel mechanism. The device design, the control architecture and the passive virtual environm...

In this paper a new time-stepping method for simulating systems of rigid bodies is given. Unlike methods which take an instantaneous point of view, our method is based on impulse-m...
Abstract-- We address the problem of state feedback attitude control of a rigid body in quaternion coordinate space through a modified PD+ tracking controller. The control law ensu...
—Guidance systems designed for neurosurgery, hip surgery, spine surgery and for approaches to other anatomy that is relatively rigid can use rigid-body transformations to accompl...
