The Handling of Fabrics

Intelligent Robotic Handling of Fabrics Towards Sewing

Visual servoing controller for robot handling fabrics of curved edges

This paper proposes a visual servoing manipulator controller to guide fabrics during the sewing process. The task of the end-effector is to handle a randomly located fabric on a table and feed it to the sewing needle along the desired seam. The proposed system is capable of handling fabrics having straight line edges and curved edges with arbitrary curvatures. The vision system identifies the t...

The Affective Experience of Handling Digital Fabrics: Tactile and Visual Cross-Modal Effects

In the textile sector, emotions are often associated with both physical touch and manipulation of the product. Thus there is the need to recreate the affective experiences of touching and interacting with fabrics using commonly available internet technology. New digital interactive representations of fabrics simulating handling have been proposed with the idea of bringing the digital experience...

A knowledge-based system for the conceptual design of grippers for handling fabrics

The paper presents a knowledge-based system ~KBS! for the conceptual design of grippers for handling fabrics. Its main purpose is the integration of the domain knowledge in a single system for the systematic design of this type of grippers. The knowledge presented, in terms of gripper, material and handling process, are classified. The reasoning strategy is based upon a combination of a depth-f...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
