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...
A new parallel-type gripper mechanism is proposed in this work. This device has a parallelogramic platform that can be flexibly folded. Therefore, this mechanism not only can be u...
A mutual information based articulated object tracking scheme is proposed in this paper. Articulation constraints are introduced using a kinematic model. Further constraints are i...
Failure of tracking algorithms is inevitable in real and online tracking systems. The online estimation of the track quality is therefore desirable for detecting tracking failures...
This paper proposes a unified approach for initializing, detecting and tracking of multiple moving objects. Object initialization is achieved through novel seed selection which is...
