We present a technique for scrolling through documents that is simple to implement and requires no special hardware. This is accomplished by simulating a hardware scroll ring—a ...
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 ...
In the modern world mobile robots are being utilized for many tasks that are either hazardous or unpleasant for human beings. The potential of robots to assume such tasks hinges o...
As a general framework to determine a collision-free feedback motion strategies, the Random Neighborhood Graph (RNG) approach [19] defines a global navigation function over an ap...
We introduce methods for optimizing physics-based walking controllers for robustness to uncertainty. Many unknown factors, such as external forces, control torques, and user contr...
