A systematic approach to the modeling of deformable ne linear objects is presented. Various deformable objects are manipulated in many manufacturing processes. Deformation of the...
This paper describes the development of a sensor which performs parts inspection by measuring the inertial properties of the part. The sensor comprises a platform supported on a c...
A tractor-trailer robot consists of a carlike tractor towing a passive trailer. Due to its highly nonholonomic nature, the kinematics of this type of robot are complicated and di ...
— Few robot tasks require as forceful an interaction with the world as excavation. In order to effectively plan its actions, our robot excavator requires a method that allows it ...
Shape memory alloy (SMA) based actuators have a number of attributes which make them useful for robotic applications. Unfortunately their response is relatively slow, being limite...
