Abstract— This paper addresses the optimal control of nonholonomic systems through provably correct discretization of the system dynamics. The essence of the approach lies in the...
— In addition to possessing a number of other important properties, kinematically redundant manipulators are inherently more tolerant to locked-joint failures than nonredundant m...

—The commercial development of haptic devices is very promising. Existing systems are often 6-degree-of-freedom mechanisms equipped with a stylus that acts as a tool. They exhibi...
Abstract— In this paper, two problems related to the simulation of virtual environments for haptic systems are considered. The first problem is how to simulate, in discrete time...
— This paper presents a new visual servoing method that is able to stabilize a moving area of soft tissue within an ultrasound B-mode imaging plane. The approach consists of movi...

— This paper presents a development of multi-fingered hand, which is modularized and can be attached to life-size humanoid robots. The developed hand has four fingers with 17 joi...
Abstract— Distributed, high-density spatiotemporal observations are proposed for answering many river-related questions, including those pertaining to hydraulics and multi-dimens...

Abstract— This paper presents a technique termed EigenNails to classify fingertip force during contact based on the coloration patterns in the fingernail and surrounding skin. ...
— Designing algorithms for multi-robot systems can be a complex and difficult process: the cost of such systems can be very high, collecting experimental data can be timeconsumi...
