(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Heat Transfer Laboratory, [1962], 1962)Tables are presented for the solution of the transient onedimensional heat flow in a solid body of constant material properties with the heating rate at one boundary dependent on time. These tables allow convenient and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The aim of this project was to design and build a tabletop robot that could move the arm of a patient with limited motor function around on a table in any given trajectory to aid the patient in regaining function. The ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Monoclonal Antibodies (mAb's) are the fastest growing segment in the biopharmaceutical industry. They are used today as therapeutics and diagnostics for several medical applications, including various types of cancer, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A vibrotactile display for use in navigation has been designed and evaluated. The arm and the torso, which offer relatively large and flat surface areas, were chosen as locations for the displays. The ability of subjects ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This work develops a practical approach to explore rough environments when time is critical. The harsh environmental conditions prevent the use of range, force/torque or tactile sensors. A representative case is the mapping ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis introduces a method of measuring contact force with GelSight. GelSight is an optical-based tactile sensor that uses a piece of coated elastomer as the contact medium. A camera records the distortion of the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Using a pin-array type tactile display as a stimulator of the finger pad, a psychophysical study was conducted on the vibrotactile perception. The passive touch with vibratory stimuli in the low frequency could be an ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The overall goal of this research effort is to improve the understanding of the biomechanics of skin as it pertains to human tactile sense. During touch, mechanoreceptors beneath the skin surface are mechanically loaded ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)GelSight, namely, elastomeric sensor, is a novel tactile sensor to get the 3D information of contacting surfaces. Using GelSight, some tactile properties, such as softness and roughness, could be gained through image ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Our ability to move across various terrains depends heavily on the mechanical interactions between our feet and the external environment. Understanding how to best replicate mechanoreceptors in feet can lead to major ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Considering that contacts between liquid and solid are ubiquitous in almost all energy processes, including steam turbines, oil pumping, condensers and boilers, the efficiency of energy transportation can be maximized such ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The main objective for prototyping is to get the most value out of the opportunity. Value may take the form of information, performance, displaying production readiness or proving capability for the amount of resources ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Tails are seen in nature to be used in an amazing number of different applications. Many of these applications seen in nature may be of use to bioinspired roboticists in the future. I have provided a brief review of tail ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)An automated software system has been developed to allow robots to learn a generalized motor skill from demonstrations given by a human operator. Data is captured using a teleoperation suit as a task is performed repeatedly ...
