—It is desirable that colony robots be autonomous and self-sufficient, which requires that they can perform their duties while maintaining enough energy to operate. In previous w...
Abstract— Piezoelectric actuators are advantageous for microrobots due to their light weight, high bandwidth, high force production, low power consumption, and simplicity of inte...

- Using the Darwin2k development software, a genetic algorithm (GA) was used to design and optimize a pipecrawling robot for parameters such as mass, power consumption, and joint e...
This paper proposes a throwing manipulation strategy for a robot with one revolute joint. The throwing manipulation enables the robot not only to manipulate the object to outside o...
An n-node tree has to be explored by a group of k mobile robots deployed initially at the root. Robots traverse the edges of the tree until all nodes are visited. We would like to ...
