Computers today are not only the calculation tools - they are directly (inter)acting in the physical world which itself may be conceived of as the universal computer (Zuse, Fredkin...
Due to increasing demands in processing power on the one hand, but the physical limit on CPU clock speed on the other hand, multi-threaded programming is becoming more important i...
In free-floating mode, space manipulator systems have their actuators turned off, and exhibit nonholonomic behavior due to angular momentum conservation. The system is underactua...
Abstract— For robotic manipulation tasks in uncertain environments, good force control can provide significant benefits. The design of force-controlled actuators typically revo...
† The limits on CMOS energy dissipation imposed by subthreshold leakage currents and by wiring capacitance are investigated for CMOS generations beyond 50nm at NTRS projected loc...
