— In this paper a dynamic contact model is presented based on the Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR) theory. The classical JKR model captures the contact properties for the quasi-stat...
— Manipulating microscopic objects with the necessary dexterity still remains a very challenging task. In this paper, we propose a freeze gripper able to manipulate micro-objects...
A method based on Principal Component Analysis of the fingernail coloration pattern is presented to infer fingertip force direction during planar contact. Images from 7 subjects...
— Analyses of position and force control laws in the case of perfectly rigid bodies have been made so far with strong assumptions on the state of the contacts such as supposing t...
Many interactive surfaces have the ability to detect the shape of hands or objects placed on them. However, shape information is typically either condensed to individual contact p...
