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...

This paper investigates the problem of "formclosure"for three-fingered grasps of polygonal objects under various combinations of contact models at the contact points. We...
We present a method for simulating rigid multibody dynamics with joints, contact, and friction. In this work, the nonsmooth contact and frictional constraints are represented by h...
Abstract— Intelligently utilizing the frictional contact between a robot and its environment can prevent slip, maintain balance, and provide stability during a robot’s motion. ...
An on-road analytical tire model has been developed to predict tire forces and moments at the tire/road interface. The model is computationally efficient and it only requires a li...
