—A new approach to robot path planning using hyperboloid potential functions is presented in this paper. Unlike parabolic potential functions, where the control force increases w...
This paper deals with the pull-in control and the nanopositioning of an electrostatically actuated NEMS (Nano Electromechanical System) squeezed between two forces. It is shown tha...
In this paper, we intend to demonstrate a new intuitive force-feedback device for advanced VR applications. Force feedback for the device is tension based and is characterized by ...
