— This paper provides that an elastic force and an elastic potential energy due to the deformation of soft fingers, which are previously derived, can be calculated into straight...
—We have investigated the deformation of a soft fingertip when it slides. This process was first simulated using ANSYS software with non-linear Finite Element Analysis (FEA). B...

Many natural objects vary the shapes as linear combinations of certain bases. The measurement of such deformable shapes is coupling of rigid similarity transformations between the...
A vision based technique for nonrigid control is presented that can be used for animation and video game applications. The user grasps a soft, squishable object in front of a came...
Abstract— Nanomanipulation using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) has been extensively investigated for many years. However, control of tip position during nanomanipulation is still...
