Consider a group of autonomous, mobile robots with the ability to physically connect to one another (self-assemble). The group is said to exhibit functional self-assembly if the ro...
We present a vision-based control and interaction framework for mobile robots, and describe its implementation in a legged amphibious robot. The control scheme enables the robot t...
Abstract. The design of critical embedded real-time systems requires high confidence in the architecture and the implemented functionalities. Classically, such functions are suppor...
Abstract—Nonverbal behavior during human-human close encounters is critical to the accomplishment of natural interaction. For this reason, humanoid robots trying to achieve natur...
Abstract. This paper describes a highly modular hierarchical behaviorbased control system for robots. Key features of the architecture include: easy addition/removal of behaviors, ...
