— In this paper we present a mathematical model of the TRIKKE, a human-powered scooter produced by Trikke Tech Inc. The Trikke is a three-wheeled, single-rider vehicle that can b...
— This paper presents an approach for haptic rendering of topological constraints to users operating serial virtual linkages. In the proposed approach, a haptic device controller...

— We present a fast method for solving rigid body contact problems with friction, based on optimizations incorporated into Lemke’s algorithm for solving linear complementarity ...
Abstract— We present a novel algorithm for motion planning of a deformable robot in a static environment. Given the initial and final configuration of the robot, our algorithm ...
