Extracting Rheological Properties of Deformable Objects with Haptic Vision
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to extracting rheological properties of deformable objects based on Haptic vision, which was proposed for vision-based automatic constru...

Loosely Coupled Joint Driven by SMA Coil Actuators
— We introduce a robotic prototype of an arm with a loosely coupled joint, modeled on the human joint. A viscoelastic object functions as cartilage and soft actuators as muscles....

Deformable objects alive!
We present a method for controlling the motions of active deformable characters. As an underlying principle, we require that all motions be driven by internal deformations. We ach...
