— In this paper, the tendon-sheath driving system for a robotic hand is presented and its force transmission characteristics are analyzed. The use of tendon-based transmission pe...
This paper discusses how a robot can develop its state vector according to the complexity of the interactions with its environment. A method for controlling the complexity is prop...
A locking, unactuated knee is added to the Scout II quadruped robot and trotting gaits are studied. The mechanical design of the knee is presented, trotting algorithms are discuss...
This report details our development of a computer controlled spotlight with four actuated degrees-of-freedom for pan, tilt, linear movement, and beam focusing. We review the mecha...
— The objective of this paper is to design a controller based on a nonlinear hover-mode model for a helicopter, which can be seamlessly integrated in an existing spatial path-pla...
