— Single-track vehicles, such as motorcycles, provide an agile mobile platform. Modeling and control of motorcycles for agile maneuvers, such as those by professional racing ride...
An analytical model for cutting of a plate of material with a pair of scissors is presented in terms of concepts of contact and fracture mechanics. The forces of contact between t...
The design, fabrication and testing of a 5 5 micromachined tactile sensor array for the detection of an extremely small force (micrometer-Newton range) has been discussed. An anis...
This paper examines the role of grasper compliance and kinematic configuration in environments where object size and location may not be well known. A grasper consisting of a pair ...
— A legged robot walking on uneven terrain can avoid falling only by applying contact forces with its feet on the ground that compensate for gravity without causing slip. To plan...
