— We present a system of coupled nonlinear oscillators to be used as programmable central pattern generators, and apply it to control the locomotion of a humanoid robot. Central ...
—When a user is in close proximity to a robot, physical contact becomes a potentially valuable channel for communication. People often use direct physical contact to guide a pers...
— We have previously shown that hemispherical soft fingertips are at equilibrium when they are in contact with objects, suggesting that the contact force and flexibility of the...
Many practical dextrous manipulation tasks involve large-scale motion of the grasped object while maintaining a stable grasp. To plan such tasks, one must control both the motion ...
