When assembling MEMS devices or manipulating biological cells it is often beneficial to have information about the force that is being applied to these objects. This force informa...
In this paper, we propose a tactile sensing element that communicates through two dimensional conductive skin layers without individual wires. Each tactile element has sensors and...
We describe a method for the reconstruction of a driven trajectory of a mobile robot if the begin and end states of the trajectory are known, and intermediate readings from odomet...
—Binary robotic devices with large degrees of freedom have been proposed by a number of researchers. However, experimental implementations of these concepts have been built with ...

ct A simple gripper with two vertical cylindrical jaws can make contact with external or internal concavities in polygonal and polyhedral parts to align and grip parts in form clos...
Abstract—Many applications require continuous monitoring of a moving target by a controllable vision system. Although the goal of tracking objects is not new, traditional techniq...
Variability reduction and business process synchronization are acknowledged as key to achieving sharp and timely deliveries in supply chain networks. In this paper, we develop an ...
