The concept of virtual holonomic constraints is extended to the case of double support, which is characterized by a closed kinematic chain and redundancy in the state variables. An...
While most previous work in planning manipulation tasks relies on the assumption of quasi-static conditions, there can be situations where the quasi-static assumption may not hold...
Abstract—A methodology for estimating the force distribution that occurs along a needle shaft during insertion is described. To validate the approach, an experimental system for ...
We presentthe first configurationspacecomputationalgorithm for pairs of rigid parts that move along fixed spatial axes. The motivation is contactanalysisformechanical design of sp...
Linear or 1D cameras are used in several areas such as industrial inspection and satellite imagery. Since 1D cameras consist of a linear sensor, a motion (usually perpendicular to ...
