— This work introduces a modified endoscope structure that employs a spring as its backbone. This design allows backdrivability of the mechanism due to the flexibility of the spr...
We present a method for recognizing gesture motions based on elastic deformable shapes and curvature templates. Gestures are modeled using a spline curve representation that is enh...

— In this paper the Cartesian compliance control of a manipulator mounted on a flexible base is considered. The proposed control law aims at achieving a desired stiffness and da...
We have studied modular self-reconfigurable robots that are capable of changing their overall shape and functionality by automatic recombination of homogenous robotic modules. Our ...
In this contribution, a novel spatio-temporal prediction algorithm for video coding is introduced. This algorithm exploits temporal as well as spatial redundancies for effectively...
