Quasi-Static Manipulation with Hemispherical Soft Fingertip via Two Rotational Fingers
Abstract— We derive a local minimum of an elastic potential energy due to the deformation of a hemispherical soft fingertip, and propose a quasi-static manipulation algorithm us...

Differential Priors for Elastic Nets
The elastic net and related algorithms, such as generative topographic mapping, are key methods for discretized dimension-reduction problems. At their heart are priors that specify...

Pushing squares around
We study dynamic self-reconfiguration of modular metamorphic systems. We guarantee the feasibility of motion planning in a rectangular model consisting of square modules that are...
