— In mobile manipulation, the position to which the robot navigates has a large influence on the ease with which a subsequent manipulation action can be performed. Whether a man...
Pointing gestures are a common and intuitive way to draw somebody’s attention to a certain object. While humans can easily interpret robot gestures, the perception of human beha...
— We design sensing algorithms and a control law for a group of mobile robots to follow a boundary curve without utilizing a global positioning system (GPS). The sensing algorith...
— 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...
