Learning network structure from passive measurements
The ability to discover network organization, whether in the form of explicit topology reconstruction or as embeddings that approximate topological distance, is a valuable tool. T...

Programmable Central Pattern Generators: an Application to Biped Locomotion Control
— 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 ...

Observations and models for needle-tissue interactions
— The asymmetry of a bevel-tip needle results in the needle naturally bending when it is inserted into soft tissue. In this study we present a mechanics-based model that calculat...

Peltier-based freeze-thaw connector for waterborne self-assembly systems
Abstract— We present a novel type of inter-module connection mechanism for waterborne modular robotic systems. The proposed mechanism exploits the thermoelectric effect to cool d...

Bipedal walking on rough terrain using manifold control
— This paper presents an algorithm for adapting periodic behavior to gradual shifts in task parameters. Since learning optimal control in high dimensional domains is subject to t...
