We propose a novel approach to dynamic simulation of grasps that overcomes di culties due to inconsistencies in the forward dynamics problem. The key idea in the paper is a minima...
In this paper the control problem of a hydraulic servosystem is addressed. The performance achievable by classical linear controllers, e.g. PD, are usually limited due to highly n...
This paper describes the haptic rendering of a virtual environment by drawing upon concepts developed in the area of teleoperation. A four-channel teleoperation architecure is sho...

A human can lift up an object with almost minimal grasping force regardless of the friction coefficient between the fingers and the object, but the sensing mechanism for this rema...
Structured light is one of the well-known methods in part dimensional inspection that have been successfully employed in various applications in the past decades. In this method, ...
