Abstract: Total Body Photography (TBP) is becoming a useful screening tool for patients at high risk for skin cancer. While much progress has been made, existing TBP systems can be further improved ...

Abstract: Tensegrity structures are becoming widely used in robotics, such as continuously bending soft manipulators and mobile robots to explore unknown and uneven environments dynamically.

Abstract: Continuum robots show great potential in the medical field owing to their theoretically infinite degrees of freedom, but they still face challenges in shape sensing. This study focuses on ...

Abstract: Incorporating shape priors of the scatterer can effectively alleviate the ill-posedness and ill-conditioning inherent in electromagnetic full-wave inverse scattering imaging (EFWISI).

Abstract: 3D Face shape stylization refers to transforming a realistic 3D face shape into a different style, such as a cartoon face style. To solve this problem, this paper proposes modeling this task ...

Abstract: To achieve high spatial resolution of X-ray imaging, the focal spot size of high-energy nondestructive testing electron accelerators has been progressively reduced from 2 to below 1 mm, and, ...

Abstract: This letter presents a novel density-based control framework for shape formation in swarm robotic systems, operating exclusively on local perception without requiring communication or ...

Abstract: Recent developments in measurement tools have made it easier to obtain shape data, a collection of point coordinates in vector space that are meaningful when some of them are gathered ...

Abstract: Currently, underwater vehicles are playing an increasingly important role in ocean observation, and rapid vehicle design is required for the increasingly diversified missions. Hydrodynamic ...

Abstract: Fully-supervised category-level pose estimation aims to determine the 6-DoF poses of unseen instances from known categories, requiring expensive manual labeling costs. Recently, various self ...

Abstract: Shape sensing using optical fiber has attracted more attention in many fields with the increased demand for spatial shape perception. Frenet–Serret equation based on solving differential ...

Abstract: This study proposes a novel lightweight robotic gripper with a high-payload capacity using shape-memory-alloy (SMA) actuators and a self-locking mechanism. The multi-joint fingers of the ...
