We present an algorithm for computing Minkowski sums among surfaces of revolution and surfaces of linear extrusion, generated by slope-monotone closed curves. The special structur...
We have developed a tactile display that uses electric current from the skin surface as a stimulus. Our main objective was to independently stimulate a variety of mechanoreceptors...
Abstract—A methodology for estimating the force distribution that occurs along a needle shaft during insertion is described. To validate the approach, an experimental system for ...
