—The commercial development of haptic devices is very promising. Existing systems are often 6-degree-of-freedom mechanisms equipped with a stylus that acts as a tool. They exhibi...
— This paper presents a mechanism and a control strategy that enables automated non-contact manipulation of spherical objects in three dimensions using air flow, and demonstrate...
The study of how infants strapped in a Jolly Jumper learn to bounce can help clarify how they explore different ways of exploiting the dynamics of their movements. In this paper, ...
— The centroidal momentum of a humanoid robot is the sum of the individual link momenta, after projecting each to the robot’s Center of Mass (CoM). Centroidal momentum is a lin...
— We consider the kinematic control problem for nonholonomic mobile manipulators (NMMs) whose base contains steering wheels. For all typical tasks, the steering velocity inputs o...
