The usefulness and versatility of a robotic endeffector depends on the diversity of grasps it can accomplish and also on the complexity of the control methods required to achieve...
This paper demonstrates magnetic three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) closed-loop position and 2-DOF open-loop orientation control of a mockup magnetic capsule endoscope in fluid with ...
Smooth motion is critical to some robotic applications such as haptics or those requiring high precision force control. These systems are often direct-drive, so any torque ripple ...
Abstract—In this paper we present and analyze a queueingtheoretical model for autonomous mobility-on-demand (MOD) systems where robotic, self-driving vehicles transport customers...
—We consider the problem of using real-time feedback from contact sensors to create closed-loop pushing actions. To do so, we formulate the problem as a partially observable Mark...
