Abstract— This paper presents ICS-AVOID, a collision avoidance scheme based upon the concept of Inevitable Collision State (ICS), ie a state for which, no matter what the future ...
Industrial inspection robots, which are to move around a nuclear power plant and carry out inspection tasks, must follow a given route while observing static and dynamic features ...
—We introduce an inexpensive, low complexity power surface system capable of simultaneously providing wireless power and bidirectional communication from a surface to multiple mo...
— A force control device with high power and high resolution is developed. It consists of a spring and a small force actuator which are connected in parallel between the base pla...
— Neuromorphic motion sensors are attractive for use on battery powered robots which require a low payload. Their features include low power consumption, continuous computation, ...
