The subject of this paper is a special class of closedchain manipulators. First, we analyze a family of twodegree-of-freedom (dof) five-bar planar linkages. Two Jacobian matrices ...
Our previous paper presented a method for reducing adhesion forces by oscillation and showed the adhesion state can be checked by analyzing the data obtained by laser displacement ...
Abstract—Contour features play an important role in object recognition. Psychological experiments have shown that maximum-curvature points are most distinctive along a contour [6...
Target tracking is an important issue in wireless sensor network applications. In this paper, we design a Coverage-Hole Trap Model (CTM) based on a system that contains one moving...
Abstract-- The dynamics of exploration vs exploitation decisions are explored in the context of robotic search problems. Building on prior work on robotic search together with our ...
