Abstract— In this paper, the robustness of graspless manipulation (or nonprehensile manipulation) is investigated. We derive some new constraints for static frictional forces in ...
— We study the problem of vision-based flocking and coordination of a group of kinematic agents in 2 and 3 dimensions. It is shown that in the absence of communication among age...
Abstract— This paper presents a framework for the dynamical formulation and control of humanoid systems. In this framework unactuated virtual joints are used to describe the huma...
— We introduce a method based on support vector machines which can detect opening and closing actions of the human thumb, index finger, and other fingers recorded via surface E...
— This paper presents a global localization technique for a robot with only linear and angular odometers. The robot, whose configuration is composed of its position and orientat...
