Walk through almost any small or mid-sized machine shop in the United States today and a new scene is emerging. Amid the familiar soundtrack of mills and grinders, a robotic arm might be tending a ...

Abstract: Contact dynamics critically influence the sim-to-real performance of deformable tissue retraction—a representative contact-rich manipulation task in robotic surgery. The uncertainty in ...

Abstract: It is difficult to ensure tracking performance even for general nonlinear systems under the condition that only intermittent output signals are used. This article studies the problem of ...
