: This paper presents a general rst-order kinematic model of frictionless rigid-body contact for use in hybrid force motion control. It is formulated in an invariant manner by trea...

— This paper discusses the first implementation of a dynamically stable bounding gait on a hybrid wheeled-leg robot. Design of the robot is reviewed and the controllers which al...
Life-like adaptive behaviour is so far an illusive goal in robot control. A capability to act successfully in a complex, ambiguous, and harsh environment would vastly increase the ...
Abstract— We present a computational framework for automatic deployment of robots in 2D and 3D rectangular environments with polytopal obstacles. The results are derived for poly...
— This paper investigates the scenario of a robot making a tradeoff between tracking a time-varying reference trajectory and stopping to communicate at points where the radio sig...
