High precision positionning and assembly as well as micro-machining require dedicated devices. These devices have to provide high repeatability and precision on several degrees of freedom (dof). High dynamic characteristics are also sought to reach short t ...
The choice of the drive composition is an obligatory stage in designing a product including electric drives. The large variety of the elements composing the electric drive (electronics, driving and kinematic chain) leads to a quasi-unlimited number of poss ...
Robotic ground vehicles are mechanisms that use gravity and contact forces with the ground to perform motion. They can either be wheeled, tracked or legged. In this thesis we will focus on n-wheeled vehicles able to perform ground following motion with all ...
In this paper, we present a new method for solving the Motion Retargeting Problem, by using an intermediate skeleton. This allows us to convert movements between hierarchically and geometrically different characters. An Inverse Kinematics engine is then us ...
The context of this thesis is the interactive manipulation of complex articulated figures by means of geometric constraints (here called tasks), for the purpose of posture control and design. The goal is to determine a posture satisfying a set of prescribe ...
In virtual human modeling, the shoulder is usually composed of clavicular, scapular and arm segments related by rotational joints. Although the model is improved, the realistic animation of the shoulder is hardly achieved. This is due to the fact that it i ...
In robotics we depend on software tools during design, modeling, programming and testing. These tools are essentials, often indispensable aids for developing and operating sophisticated robotic systems. At the same time, these tools are complex and usually ...
This paper discusses mobile robot localization by means of geometric features from a laser range finder and a CCD camera. The features are line segments from the laser scanner and vertical edges from the camera. Emphasis is put on sensor models with a stro ...
We present a new method for solving the motion retargeting problem, by using an intermediate skeleton. This allows us to convert movements between hierarchically and geometrically different characters. An inverse kinematics engine is then used to enforce C ...
In the fields of semiconductors, opto-electronic interconnection and microsystems in general, the demand for precise positionning has grown along with the increasing miniaturization of the structures which are to be handled or tested. In many cases an inap ...
