Abstract—This paper presents a new methodology for the analysis and control of internal forces and center-of-mass (CoM) behavior, which are produced during multicontact interacti...
Fixturing encompasses the design and assembly of fixtures to locate and hold a workpiece during a manufacturing operation such as machining or assembly. We have implemented an auto...
In this paper we present a novel approach for simulating the rigid body dynamics of a haptically manipulated object using implicit integration. Our formulation requires the linear...
: A protocol is described for the treatment of molecular polarization in force field calculations. The resulting model is consistent in that both inter- and intramolecular polariza...
This paper presents a method of imaging the coloration pattern in the fingernail and surrounding skin to infer fingertip force direction during planar contact. Nail images from 7 ...
