— Online self collision detection system for humanoid robots is an essentially important function for developing sensor based behaviors without worrying about breaking hardware. ...
– In this paper, we evaluate the performance of two candidate formulations for distributed motion planning of robot collectives within an Artificial Potential Field (APF) framewo...
− A new type of actuator is presented where Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires are embedded within artificial “blood vessels.” Fluid flowing through vessels allows the SMA wires ...
Given the complexity of the problem, genetic algorithms are one of the more promising methods of discovering control schemes for soft robotics. Since physically embodied evolution...
