In this paper, we introduce two methods for the registration of multiple range images when a prior estimate of the transformationbetween views is not available and the overlap bet...
This paper investigates how to "observe" a planar object being pushed by a finger. The pushing is governed by a nonlinear system that relates through contact the object ...
Good robot performance often relies upon the selection of design parameters that lead to a well conditioned Jacobian or impedance "design" matrix. In this paper, a new d...
This paper discusses how a robot can develop its state vector according to the complexity of the interactions with its environment. A method for controlling the complexity is prop...
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 ...
