Bellows: bringing digital animation into the physical world

In this paper, a lightweight master interface for a surgical robot system is proposed. The position of the human hand is measured by a non-contact motion tracker, but the force feedback is realized by a handheld haptic device. A gripping force is ...

Worldwide, many micro-actuators have been developed for various applications in biotechnology, biochemistry, micro-sensors, etc. However, most of these actuators have been made using 2D-based micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology, so they ...

In the previous decade, multiple useful approaches for kinematic models of continuum manipulators were successfully developed. However, dynamic modeling approaches needed for fast simulations and the development of model-based controller design are not ...
