— Calibration is the procedure of quantifying mechanical deficiencies of machines and compensating them by appropriate adjustment. This paper introduces a modelbased measurement...
— A new three degrees of freedom translational parallel manipulator (TPM) with fixed actuators, called a general 3-PRC TPM, is proposed in this paper. The mobility of the manipu...
Abstract— We derive a local minimum of an elastic potential energy due to the deformation of a hemispherical soft fingertip, and propose a quasi-static manipulation algorithm us...
— Repetitive manual handling of heavy loads is common in assembly and is a frequent cause of lower back disorders. This can have a significant impact on the quality of life and ...
— Active contours have been widely used as image segmentation methods. The use of level set theory has provided more flexibility and convenience for the implementation of active...
