—One of the grand challenges of self-reconfiguring modular robotics is the assembly of a functional system from thousands of components. However, to date, only systems comprised ...
—Space exploitation will require efficient techniques for manipulating passive objects on orbit. This work presents a manipulation concept that utilizes both the on-off thruste...
Abstract— We describe here our proposed method to investigate the sliding motion of a soft fingertip in the dexterous manipulation. This paper focuses on analyzing dynamic slidi...
— We present a new retraction algorithm for high DOF articulated models and use our algorithm to improve the performance of RRT planners in narrow passages. The retraction step i...
