— This paper studies an optimal planning of falling motions of a human-sized humanoid robot to reduce the damage of the robot. We developed a human-sized robot HRP-2FX which has ...
In the field of service robotics, robots serve and assist human beings. It is natural for humans to directly interact with the robot via tactile interfaces. This paper introduces...
– Motion synchronization in mobile robot networks is a fundamental task in distributed multi-robot collaboration. In this paper, we investigate the robustness of synchronous spee...
— The desire for a high mobility-to-size ratio in mobile robots has led to the exploration of many new methods of locomotion, one of which is tumbling. To the authors’ knowledg...
This paper studies motion planning from one zero velocity state to another for a three-joint robot in a horizontal plane witha passive revolute third joint. Such a robot is small-...
