Abstract— This paper introduces a smooth control algorithm for controlling fully actuated distributed manipulation systems that operate by frictional contact. The control law sca...
Abstract. The modeling, design, and implementation of inter-organizational systems (IOS) is a challenging new problem. In contrast to previous systems, where components have clearl...
We designed, developed, deployed, and evaluated the Collaborative nanoManipulator (CnM), a distributed, collaborative virtual environment system supporting remote scientific colla...
