Chapter and Conference Paper
Modeling simultaneous contact and collisions at multiple surfaces in articulated rigid-body systems is computationally challenging because joint and contact constraints must be enforced together. Previously, w...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We develop methods to compute dynamics and control for articulated body systems that are actuated by linear contractile elements. We motivate the conditions under which our mathematical formulation is suitable...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Here, we present insights into human contact-control strategies by defining conditions to determine whether a human controls a contact state, empirically analyzing object-to-environment contact geometry data o...
Article
We consider the problem of devising a unified control policy capable of regulating both the robot motion and its physical interaction with the environment. We formulate this control policy by a non-parametric ...

Chapter
The human selection of specific postures among the infinity of possibilities is the result of a long and complex process of learning. Through learning, humans seem to come to discover the properties of their b...
Chapter
Combining haptics with functional magnetic resonance imaging (Haptic fMRI) has enabled complex motor neuroimaging experiments that non-invasively map real-world motor tasks on to the human brain. The technique...
Chapter
In this paper we propose a unified framework for the real-time dynamic simulation and contact resolution of rigid articulated bodies. This work builds on previous developments in the field of dynamic simulatio...
