We present progress with roBlocks, a reconfigurable modular robotic system for education. Children snap together small, magnetic, heterogeneous modules to create larger, more comp...
: In the future, we propose that there will be largely self-sufficient robot colonies operating on distant planets and in harsh environments here on earth. A highly desirable quali...
Abstract— Linking semantic and spatial information has become an important research area in robotics since, for robots interacting with humans and performing tasks in natural env...
Abstract In legged systems, springy legs facilitate gaits with subsequent contact and flight phases. Here, we test whether electrical motors can generate leg behaviors suitable for...
An issue central to the navigation problem is memory. Traditional systems build symbolic maps of the world for navigational reference. Reactive methods, in contrast, eliminate or m...
