— This paper is concerned with the problem of identifying robust equilibrium postures of a planar mechanism supported by fixed frictional contacts in a twodimensional gravitation...
: Several species of animals use whiskers to accurately navigate and explore objects in the absence of vision. We have developed inexpensive arrays of artificial whiskers based on ...

— We report on the design and stability analysis of a simple quadruped running controller that can autonomously generate steady running with good energy efficiency and suppress ...
— High-precision autofarming is rapidly becoming a reality with the requirements of agricultural applications. Lots of research works have been focused on the automatic guidance ...

Abstract— In the context of virtualized reality based telemicromanipulation, we present in this paper a visual calibration technique for optical microscope coupled with a CCD cam...
— In many studies and applications that include direct human involvement such as human-robot interaction, control of prosthetic arms, and human factor studies, hand force is need...
