— Knot tying poses a challenge to robotic and human manipulation due to the need to regrasp a flexible string. Without sensing, it becomes nearly impossible to guess where the s...
— In this paper, we propose the concept of a ”mobile microscope”. This is a hand-held microscope that can be used for observation in various places. Because microscopes which...
— In this paper, we propose a new approach for computing force-closure grasps of two-dimensional and threedimensional objects. Assuming n hard-finger contact with Coulomb fricti...

— Compliance in robot mounted force/torque sensors is useful for soft mating of parts. However it generates nearly undamped oscillations when moving the end-effector in free spac...
Abstract— In order to reduce computational burden of identification methods for multivariable systems, a hierarchical least squares (HLS) algorithm is developed. The basic idea ...
