—A major issue in the field of human-robot interaction for assistance to manipulation is transparency. This basic feature qualifies the capacity for a robot to follow human mov...
— To realize adaptive and robust manipulation, a robot should have several sensing modalities and coordinate their outputs to achieve the given task based on underlying constrain...
– We introduce a new method for synthesizing kinematics and Jacobian relationships for an important class of continuous backbone “continuum” robots. The resulting Jacobians e...
—A self-reconfigurable robot is a robotic device that can change its own shape. Self-reconfigurable robots are commonly built from multiple identical modules that can manipulat...
Robot Programming by Demonstration (RbD) covers methods by which a robot learns new skills through human guidance. In this work, we take the perspective that the role of the tea...
