A directed agent implies an agent with high constraints in both recognition and motion. Because of the embodied restrictions, the directed agent perceives a sense of subjective di...
Estimation of inhomogeneous vectors is well-studied in estimation theory. For instance, given covariance matrices of input data allow to compute optimal estimates and characterize...
The purpose of this research is to realize a small robot which can negotiate pipes whose diameter varies widely during the robot’s course. A new in-pipe locomotion mechanism nam...
Flexure hinge has been commonly used as a substitute for mechanical joints in the design of micropositioning mechanisms. However, inaccurate modeling of flexure hinges deteriorates...
The last few years have seen great maturationin the computation speed and control methods needed to portray 3D virtualhumanssuitableforreal interactiveapplications. We first desc...
