Abstract: This paper presents a method of diagnosing variance components of process error sources in singular manufacturing systems. The singularity problem is studied and the cause examined in the context ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose the use of a nonlinear disturbance-observer for estimation of contact forces during haptic interactions. Most commonly used impedance-type haptic interfaces employ open-loop ...

Abstract: Experiments were performed to charge either cold or hot water thermal energy storage tanks using a heat exchanger equipped with multiple thermoelectric (TE) modules. The primary objective was ...

Abstract: Optimal parameter selection is a crucial step in improving the quality of electronic packaging processes. Traditional approaches usually start with a set of physical experiments and then employ ...

Abstract: This paper presents a shared-control interaction paradigm for haptic interface systems, with experimental data from two user studies. Shared control, evolved from its initial telerobotics applications, ...
