— To evaluate and optimize the mechanical design of underactuated hands, a benchmark test is defined that quantifies the ability to hold grasped objects subject to force distur...
Search by Object Model -- finding an object inside a target image -- is a desirable and yet difficult mechanism for querying multimedia data. An added difficulty is that objects c...
Abstract. Many long-lived and distributed systems must remain available yet evolve over time, due to, e.g., bugfixes, feature extensions, or changing user requirements. To facilit...
There is a manifold of meanings we could associate with the term \evolution" in the database arena. This paper tries to categorize some of these into a unique framework, showi...
A new computer haptics algorithm to be used in general interactive manipulations of deformable virtual objects is presented. In multimodal interactive simulations, haptic feedback ...
