Abstract: Robot hands capable of applying controllable forces to a wide variety of objects would increase the number of robotic applications in manufacturing. One frequently overlooked part of the force ...

Abstract: Typical conventional diesel engine designs are based on arrangements of single piston and cylinder sets placed sequentially either in-line or offset (“V”) along the crankshaft. The development ...

Abstract: This paper presents the potential use of a robotic end-effector for acquiring single plies from a stack of fabrics. This type of end-effector would be required to integrate robots into present-day ...
