Abstract - This paper introduces new analyses and algorithms which are essential for the practical implementation of continuous backbone continuum robots. Actuator length limits st...
— Recent studies on the insect water strider showed that the insect heavily relies on surface tension force to stay afloat. Inspired by this insect, water strider robots have be...
Abstract— The vibratory bowl feeder remains the most common approach to the automated feeding (orienting) of industrial parts. We study the algorithmic design of devices on the b...
