Robotic hands use rolling contact to manipulate a grasped object to a desired location, even
when the finger and the palm linkage mechanisms lack degrees of freedom. This paper …

Rolling-contact mechanisms can provide low-friction motion with unique kinematic paths.
We show that developable surfaces can be used as a design tool for rolling-contact …

This paper deals with the brachistochronic motion of a thin uniform disk rolling on a
horizontal plane without slip. The problem is formulated and solved within the frame of the …

An algorithm to search for a kinematically desired robotic grasp pose with rolling contacts is
presented. A manipulability measure is defined to characterize the grasp for multi-fingered …

We develop the concept of Cartan ribbons together with a rolling-based method to ribbonize
and approximate any given surface in space by intrinsically flat ribbons. The rolling requires …

Rolling contact has been used in fine-manipulation by robot hands. It provides an
opportunity to manipulate an object to a desired location even when the finger linkages do …

function which happens due to the disruption of cerebral blood flow. It is characterized by …

In refinery, petrochemical, and chemical plants, process technicians collect uncontaminated
samples to be analyzed in the quality control laboratory all time and all weather. This …

The paper focuses on synthesizing optimal contact curves that can be used to ensure a
rolling constraint between two bodies in relative motion. We show that geodesic based …

Keziban Orbay and Tevfik Sahin abstract: In this study, the situation of Mannheim offsets of
ruled surfaces under the 1-parameter motions is investigated. Firstly, relationships between …
