Most robot programming takes place in the “time domain.” That is, the goal is to specify the behavior of a system that is acquiring a continual temporal stream of inputs, and ...
Abstract—A methodology for estimating the force distribution that occurs along a needle shaft during insertion is described. To validate the approach, an experimental system for ...
We describe a model-based height controller for a hopping robot with a pneumatically powered leg. The controller explicitly models variation in the leg angle and height. Using an ...
Future planetary exploration missions will require rovers to traverse very rough terrain with limited human supervision. Wheel-terrain interaction plays a critical role in rough-t...
— We introduce precomputed multizone elastokinematic models for interactive simulation of multibody kinematic systems which include elastostatic deformations. This enables an e...
