— This paper proposes a control scheme dedicated to underactuated fingers with the intention of maximizing the capabilities of the latter using tactile and position information ...
A scalable architecture to facilitate emergent (self-organized) task decomposition using neural networks and evolutionary algorithms is presented. Various control system architectu...

In the past decade, a large number of robots has been built that explicitly implement biological navigation behaviours. We review these biomimetic approaches using a framework tha...
Abstract— We consider the problem of autonomously estimating position and orientation of an object from tactile data. When initial uncertainty is high, estimation of all six para...
