— In this paper, a novel mechanism of remote actuation was proposed and its mechanical problems were discussed. This mechanism consists of leverage and parallelogram mechanism an...
A physical modeling of rheological objects is presented. Objects showing rheological nature involve foods and biological tissues yet no systematic approach to build their virtual ...
— This paper presents results of the application of simultaneous localisation and map building (SLAM) for an uninhibited aerial vehicle (UAV). Single vision camera and inertial m...
We present methods for extracting optimal paths from motion planning roadmaps. Our system enables any combination of optimization criteria, such as collision detection, kinematic/...
− We propose a vision based 3D object recognition and tracking system, which provides high level scene descriptions such as object identification and 3D pose information. The sys...
- Moving a crowd of robots or avatars from their current configurations to some destination area without causing collisions is a challenging motion-planning problem because the hig...
— When the end-effector of a robot is slid on a flat surface, the stiffness matrix obtained by linear fitting of position and force contains information not only on the stiffne...
― This paper describes a new docking system called Compliant-And-Self-Tightening (CAST) developed as an effective and efficient connector for joining and releasing modules of sel...
This paper presents a humanoid robot that has the same size as a human and that can lie down to the floor and get up from the floor with the robot face upward and downward. We b...
