— We study a simple algorithm inspired by the Brazil nut effect for achieving segregation in a swarm of mobile robots. The algorithm lets each robot mimic a particle of a certain...
— Soft robotic systems have applications in industrial, medical, and security applications. Many applications require these robots to be small and lightweight. One challenge in d...

Abstract. The connectivity of the con guration space has been a valuable concept in the motion planning for single robots in both known and unknown terrains. We show here that n-co...
— A novel design of a mobile parallel manipulator (MPM), which is composed by a multi-degree of freedom (DOF) parallel robot and an autonomous wheeled mobile platform, is propose...
