— This paper proposes a control scheme dedicated to underactuated fingers with the intention of maximizing the capabilities of the latter using tactile and position information ...
— This paper proposes a necessary and sufficient condition for parallel grasps. We extend the use of this condition to the task of regrasp planning. In particular, we propose a ...
— In this paper, we describe the real-time and precise self collision detection system that does not reduce the number of polygons and checks more than 100 collision pairs in rea...
— This paper presents a robust model-based visual tracking algorithm that can give accurate 3D pose of a rigid object. Our tracking algorithm uses an incremental pose update sche...

— This paper addresses the problem of testing whether three contact points form a 3-fingered force-closure grasp in two dimensions. In particular, assuming frictional point cont...
— We propose a new method of tactile sensing for a fingertip of robotic hand. Using a simple fingertip with soft surface cover and a six-axis force/torque sensor, developed is ...
Abstract— In this paper, we consider the task of repositioning a formation of robots to a new shape while minimizing either the maximum distance that any robot travels, or the to...
— Recently, the acquisition of three-dimensional maps has become more and more popular. This is motivated by the fact that robots act in the three-dimensional world and several t...
— Recently, there has been a growing interest in biologically inspired biped locomotion control with Central Pattern Generator (CPG). However, few experimental attempts on real h...
