— In this paper, we propose a power assist system that amplifies sinusoidal human’s torque and attains minimization of control input requirement using an impedance control and...
We report on a control strategy for the "leap" problem arising from an ape's fast brachiation when the next branch is far out of reach and the task involves a signi...
We introduce Topobo, a 3D constructive assembly system embedded with kinetic memory, the ability to record and playback physical motion. Unique among modeling systems is Topoboʼs...
We introduce a new method of a biped walking pattern generation by using a preview control of the zeromoment point (ZMP). First, the dynamics of a biped robot is modeled as a runn...
The use of motor primitives for the generation of complex movements is a relatively new and interesting idea for dimensionality reduction in robot control. We propose a framework ...
