— In this paper we present a mathematical model of the TRIKKE, a human-powered scooter produced by Trikke Tech Inc. The Trikke is a three-wheeled, single-rider vehicle that can b...
— This paper first presents a novel control strategy for periodic motion control based on a Hamiltonian system. According to the strategy, hybrid symmetric orbits (ideal walking...
— This paper presents a visual attention mechanism for the acquisition of landmarks in an arbitrary scene. The proposed mechanism consists of two consecutive selection stages. Th...
As a flexible needle with a bevel tip is pushed through soft tissue, the asymmetry of the tip causes the needle to bend. We propose that, by using nonholonomic kinematics, contro...
