— Piezoelectric actuators can achieve high efficiency and power density in very small geometries, which shows promise for microrobotic applications, such as flapping-wing robot...
Abstract— This paper presents coverage algorithms for mobile sensor networks in which agents have limited power to move. Rather than making use of a constrained optimization tech...
— In addition to possessing a number of other important properties, kinematically redundant manipulators are inherently more tolerant to locked-joint failures than nonredundant m...

Abstract— We consider the problem of approximating a continuous curve by a piecewise linear one whose segments are assumed to be connected by universal joints. Rather than taking...
Abstract – This paper presents a real-time 3D ultrasoundguided robotic system, designed to autonomously navigate a surgical instrument to surgeon-specified target points. The sys...
