There have been many researches on object grasping in cooperating systems assuming no object slippage and stable grasp and the control system is designed to keep the contact force inside the friction cone to prevent the slippage. However undesired slippage can occur due to environmental conditions and many other reasons. In this research, dynamic analysis and control synthesis of a cooperating ...

Progressive negotiation is a strategy for resolving conflicts among distributed heterogeneous cooperating agents. This strategy aims at minimizing backtracking to previous solutions and provably ensures consistency of agents’ distributed solutions and convergence on a globallysatisfiable solution. The progressive negotiation strategy is enforced by a task-independent agent called Facilitator, w...

Diversity is an effective technique in enhancing the link quality and increasing network capacity. When multiple antennas can not be used in mobile units, user cooperation can be employed to provide transmit diversity. In this paper, we analyze the error performance of coded cooperative diversity with multiple cooperating users over Nakagami fading channels under interference conditions. We der...

The presence and use of technologies in educational settings is constantly increasing. Therefore, initial teacher education needs to prepare future teachers deal with this technological implementation from both practical pedagogical perspectives. This paper examines the treatment that offers early childhood primary preservice facing their practicum experiences. A bibliometric thematic review du...

The area of Cooperating Objects is an emerging domain that builds upon (networked) embedded systems, ubiquitous computing and (wireless) sensor networks but stresses the cooperation between modular, autonomous and heterogeneous devices that try to achieve a common goal. We present a definition and explain the characteristics of Cooperating Objects. By looking at market predictions and our own s...

In this paper, we study the differential kinematics and the kineto-static manipulability indices of multiple cooperating robot arms, including active and passive joints. The kinematic manipulability indices are derived extending previous results on cooperating robots without passive joints. The force manipulability analysis for cooperative robot systems cannot be straightforwardly derived by “d...

Communications between cooperating robots can be facilitated by using suitable communications protocols. This paper discusses many of the considerations that impact the form of such protocols, beginning with a primitive model of cooperating robots and their interactions with each other and the external environment. Consideration is paid to the role of the robot's internal model of its world, to...
