— This paper proposes a population based adaptive tuning for dynamic position control of robot manipulators. The dynamic behavior of a robot manipulator is highly nonlinear, and ...
We combine three threads of research on approximate dynamic programming: sparse random sampling of states, value function and policy approximation using local models, and using lo...
—A self-reconfigurable robot is a robotic device that can change its own shape. Self-reconfigurable robots are commonly built from multiple identical modules that can manipulat...
Abstract-- This paper extends the method of virtual constraints and hybrid zero dynamics, developed for rigid robots with a single degree of underactuation, to MABEL, a planar bipe...
