Abstract— In this paper we present a design study and technical specifications of a high performance robotic manipulator to be used for ball catching experiments using commercia...
This paper describes an efficient algorithm for computing the distance between non-convex objects. Objects are modeled as the union of a set of convex components. From this model ...
Accuracy of a machine is determined by its ability to position and orient a tool at a prescribed point. Usually this positioning is performed by positioning joints (actuators The ...
