Abstract: In the research of multicontact robotic systems, the equilibrium test and contact force distribution are two fundamental problems, which need to determine the existence of feasible contact forces ...

Abstract: This paper presents an algorithm for optimal grasp planning and fixture synthesis. The object surface is depicted by a number of discrete points, which are used as the candidate contact points. ...

Abstract: Force-closure is a fundamental topic in grasping research. Relevant problems include force-closure test, quality evaluation, and grasp planning. Implementing the well-known force-closure condition ...

Abstract: The local viscoelastic properties of soft polishing pads with different usage durations are measured by a micro-scale mechanical analysis testing platform. The testing reveals stimulus-adaptive local viscoelasticity of ...

Abstract: Identifying the frequencies of practical bridges can help in understanding the bridge dynamic property. However, the vibration amplitude excited by wind load and traffic load is too small, resulting in a small signal noise ...

Abstract: Musculoskeletal modeling and simulation have been an emerging trend in human gait analysis. It allows the user to isolate certain biomechanical conditions and elucidate the dynamics of joints and muscles. This study used ...
