Abstract— This paper presents a randomized manipulation planner for a multi-fingered hand by switching contact modes. Manipulation planning for such a system should consider cha...
In this paper, we provide a principled and unified explanation how knowledge in global 3-D structural invariants, typically captured by a group action on a symmetric structure, ca...
Teams of robots can be redundant with respect to a given task. This redundancy can be exploited to pursue additional objectives during the execution of the task. In this paper, we...
In this paper, we present a method for controlling a motorized, string-drivenmarionette using motion capture data from human actors. The motion data must be adapted for the marion...

This paper presents an optimal planning problem for workpiece measurement. Two sequential optimization algorithms are introduced to find maximum determinant solutions. Then, base...
—Four prototypes of biomimetic sensors have been designed and implemented for flight control of a robotic flying insect. The ocelli use four photodiodes to detect changes in li...

- Bundled multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were successfully and repeatably manipulated by AC electrophoresis to form resistive elements between Au microelectrodes and were dem...
-- The human finger possesses a structure called the extensor mechanism, a web-like collection of tendinous material that lies on the dorsal side of each finger and connects the co...
