Abstract— This paper examines the novel use of a sawtooth surface with simple planar and symmetric vibration for unidirectional micro-parts feeding. In micro-parts feeding, to dr...
— Recently Rao-Blackwellized particle filters have been introduced as effective means to solve the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem. This approach uses a par...

– We introduce a new method for synthesizing kinematics and Jacobian relationships for an important class of continuous backbone “continuum” robots. The resulting Jacobians e...
— This paper proposes an approach to robust state estimation for mobile robots with intermittent dynamics. The approach consists of identifying the robot’s mode of operation by...
