Abstract: In many systems, the normal force at friction contacts is not constant, but is instead a function of the system’s state variables. Examples include machine tools, friction dampers, brake systems ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new method for planning collision-free paths for robots with any number of joints. It is particularly well suited for use with kinematically redundant robots. The algorithm ...

Abstract: This paper presents the stability analysis of a single degree-of-freedom elastic system following a rate-and state-dependent friction law. Normal force is assumed to depend on the displacement, ...
