— Many methods exist for the automatic and optimal 3D reconstruction of camera motion and scene structure from image sequence (’Structure from Motion‘ or SfM). The solution t...
Abstract— The Deformatron robot is a homogeneous, modular robot. The Deformatron modules can play one of three roles in the physical structure of the robot: bone, tendon, and mus...
Abstract— We consider the problem of approximating a continuous curve by a piecewise linear one whose segments are assumed to be connected by universal joints. Rather than taking...
— High-gain PID position control, which is widely used with industrial robots, involves some risks in cases of abnormal events, such as unexpected environment contacts and tempor...
— Research on robotic manipulation has mainly focused on manipulating rigid objects so far. However, many important application domains require manipulating deformable objects, e...
