We describe in this paper potential problems that may appear in image-based visual servoing when the initial camera position is far away from its desired position. We show by conc...
In this paper, a neural network controller for constrained robot manipulators is presented. A feedforward neural network is used to adaptively compensate for the uncertainties in ...
Haptic feedback is a design element for human-computer interfaces, and this paper discusses when and how it can be used to best effect in interactive applications. It begins with ...
