Assistance and service systems are one of the main research topics in robotics today. A major problem for creating these systems is that they have to work and navigate in the real ...
— In this paper, the dynamic model of a robot with antagonistic actuated joints is presented, and the problem of full linearization via static state feedback is analyzed. The use...

This paper addresses the design of control policies for groups of up to 16 simple autonomous mobile robots (called s-bots) for the cooperative transport of heavy objects of differe...
This paper outlines aspects of locomotor control in insects that may serve as the basis for the design of controllers for autonomous hexapod robots. Control of insect walking can b...
We have designed a research platform for a perceptually guided robot, which also serves as a demonstrator for a coming generation of service robots. In order to operate semi-autono...
