This paper addresses the problem of reducing the hysteresis found in the actuation of most smart materials. They are divided in two groups: systems with no saturation (e.g. piezoe...
This paper investigates how to "observe" a planar object being pushed by a finger. The pushing is governed by a nonlinear system that relates through contact the object ...
Abstract--Manufacturing scheduling is an important but difficult task. In order to effectively solve such combinatorial optimization problems, this paper presents a novel Lagrangia...
We are studying a juggler's skill called the "butterfly." Startingwith a ball resting on the palm of his/her open hand, a skilled juggler can accelerate and shape h...
