Abstract: This paper provides a unified theoretical framework for analytical characterization of grasping and manipulation capability of robotic grippers and hands as well as fixing capability of fixtures ...

Abstract: It is known that conventional three-joint wrists of robot manipulators have two conical regions of degeneracy in which the ability of the wrist to orient the end-effector is poor, A four-joint ...

Abstract: An analytical model is presented to obtain the film thickness profile of an externally pressurized gas lubricated piston ring which is applied to an air compressor. In order to examine the ...

Abstract: A system for displaying feel information, while manipulating virtual objects, which takes their dynamic behavior into account is introduced. The display is realized using multiple link mechanisms. ...
