A new approach to a variable stiffness actuator with tunable resonant frequencies is presented in this paper. Variable stiffness actuators have become increasingly important for m...
This paper deals with the image-based visual servoing (IBVS), subject to constraints. Robot workspace limitations, visibility constraints, and actuators limitations are addressed. ...
Abstract--Hands-free terminals for speech communication employ adaptive filters to reduce echoes resulting from the acoustic coupling between loudspeaker and microphone. When using...
