This paper presents a new teleoperation approach using a virtual spring, and local contact force control on the slave robot. The operational space framework provides the control s...
— Microrobots experience physical phenomena that are difficult to model analytically and that are not completely captured with macro-scale prototypes. In this paper we present a...

-- This paper presents the theoretical analysis and the experimental validation of the force sensing capabilities of continuum robots. These robots employ super-elastic NiTi backbo...
—Capsule endoscopy is a promising technique for diagnosing diseases in the small intestines. Here we propose a miniature swimming mechanism that uses MRI’s magnetic fields for ...

Several attempts have been made in the past to construct encoding schemes that allow modularity to emerge in evolving systems, but success is limited. We believe that in order to c...
