Instabilities of robot motion are caused by topological reasons. In this paper we find a relation between the topological properties of a configuration space (the structure of its...
— This paper introduces a novel robot which can run on the surface of water in a manner similar to basilisk lizards. Previous studies on the lizards themselves have characterized...

Abstract— Robots need to track object. Object tracking efficiency completely depends on the accuracy of the motion model and of the sensory information. Interestingly, when mult...
Abstract— The Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT) algorithm has found widespread use in the field of robot motion planning because it provides a single-shot, probabilistically c...

We present the first controller that allows our small hexapod robot, RHex, to descend a wide variety of regular sized, “real-world” stairs. After selecting one of two sets of ...
