In this paper, we introduce a parametric semantics for timed controllers called the Almost ASAP semantics. This semantics is a relaxation of the usual ASAP3 semantics (also called ...
We describe crawling and jumping by a deformable robot. Locomotion over rough terrain has been achieved mainly by rigid body systems including crawlers and leg mechanisms. This pap...
Abstract. Surgical simulations with the aid of computers is a topic of increasingly extensive research. Realtime response and interactivity are crucial components of any such syste...
Physically based modeling of deformable objects such as cloth or human tissue has grown to be very important for virtual simulations. However, interactive simulation of these nonl...
In previous papers, a passive control implementation structure is proposed for mechanical systems interacting with physical environments. The proposed implementation structure enf...
