Modelling of soft tissue motion is required in many areas, such as computer animation, surgical simulation, 3D motion analysis and gait analysis. In this paper, we will focus on the use of modelling of skin deformation during 3D motion analysis. The most frequently used method in 3D human motion analysis involves placing markers on the skin of the analysed segment which is composed of the rigid...

Soft robots capable of dexterous manipulation can enable the exploration extreme environments. Equipping these with tactile sensing is a challenge, as sensors must be flexible, stretchable, and robust to environmental conditions. We present sensor design pneumatically driven acoustic resonator, without electronics near from end-effector. For applications soft grippers, we measure resonant frequ...

For fault-tolerant real-time filtering, an efficient two-filter architecture is proposed. In the two-filter architecture, a host filter is operated permanently. A compression filter is intermittently initialized and operated during prescribed time intervals. to handle measurements susceptible to soft faults. New compression filters are derived based on time-propagated measurement concept. The d...

We present an implementation of a simplified scalable architecture for the efficient realization of 3-D adaptive LUM smoother in the Field Programmable Logic Devices (FPLDs). The proposed filter architecture takes advantages of a combination of recently provided Boolean LUM smoothers with bit-serial realization of stack filters. In order to decrease hardware requirements, we implemented a highl...

The filter/flow model is a graph-based query visualization capable of representing arbitrary Boolean expressions. However, the resulting graphs quickly become large and hard to handle when representing complex search queries. We developed an extended filter/flow model that allows the display of complex queries in a more compact form. This paper reports on a user study we conducted to evaluate t...

Possibility semantics. Possibility semantics for modal logic is a generalization of standard Kripke semantics. In this semantics, a possibility frame has a refinement relation which is a partial order between states, in addition to the accessibility relation for modalities. From an algebraic perspective, full possibility frames are dually equivalent to complete Boolean algebras with complete op...
