We propose a novel approach to dynamic simulation of grasps that overcomes di culties due to inconsistencies in the forward dynamics problem. The key idea in the paper is a minima...
Abstract— In this paper we extend a non-smooth 3D mathematical model of a snake robot to also include external obstacles to enable obstacle aided locomotion. The model is based o...

Abstract— This paper discusses the design and current capabilities of a new software tool, dVC, capable of simulating planar systems of bodies experiencing unilateral contacts wi...

— This paper describes the dynamic modeling of linear object deformation considering geometrical constraints and contact with obstacles. Deformable linear objects such as cables ...
We present a new discrete velocity-level formulation of frictional contact dynamics that reduces to a pair of coupled projections and introduce a simple fixed-point property of th...
