— Recently, cognitive psychologists and others have turned their attention to the formerly neglected study of shadows, and the information they purvey. These studies show that th...
— We have investigated the deformation of a soft fingertip when it slides. This process was first simulated using the non-linear Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method. Based on ...

— Most of robotic soft pads studied so far were made with a thick layer of homogeneous material shaped around a rigid core; their behavior has been widely investigated in the lit...
— Planar Catadioptric Stereo vision sensors (PCS) combine a pinhole camera with two or more planar mirrors. PCS have recently received an increasing attention since a stereo view...

— Unlike active force closure, which is a property for the multi-finger robotic hand grasping, passive force closure are involved in the grasping systems with constraining devic...
— This paper deals with the problem of bilateral haptic control in nanorobotics. At this scale, a human operator cannot interact directly with objects. He needs special tools man...
