... of position and posture of the bracket type posture alignment mechanism has a great influence on the operation effect of the machine. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out the kinematic calibration. Design/methodology/approach Based on analysis of elastic deformation of the bracket and geometric errors...

... path of active contour, to reduce the computation cost and to make the evolution effectively. Design/methodology/approach The contour‐evolution process is separated into two steps: global translation and local deformation. The contour global translation and local deformation are realized by average...

...David Saunders; Chung Hyuk Park; Bum‐Hee Lee Purpose To propose a new haptic modeling and contact analysis algorithm (modified long element method (MLEM)) to efficiently model deformation, to estimate elasticity, and to provide the characterization of contact with deformable objects, which...
