— Robots are increasingly being used in Computer Integrated Surgery (CIS) systems, yet to our knowledge, there is no open source software that is specifically targeted at this a...
— This paper presents a strategy for planning robot motions in dynamic, cluttered, and uncertain environments. Successful and efficient operation in such environments requires r...
Abstract— This paper introduces a smooth control algorithm for controlling fully actuated distributed manipulation systems that operate by frictional contact. The control law sca...
Abstract. In order to have a robotic system able to effectively learn by imitation, and not merely reproduce the movements of a human teacher, the system should have the capabiliti...
—Based on a study of the engagement process between humans, we have developed and implemented an initial computational model for recognizing engagement between a human and a huma...
