— In applications such as space and surgical robotics, the use of thin, lightweight manipulators and cable-driven endeffectors results in flexibility of the manipulator. In bila...
A central tenet of embodied artificial intelligence is that intelligent behavior arises out of the coupled dynamics between an agent’s body, brain and environment. It follows t...
This work presents a new tactile display device for relaying contact information to locations along the human arm. The system is intended to facilitate teleoperation of whole-arm ...
Abstract-- This paper presents a method to associate meanings to words in manipulation tasks. We base our model on an affordance network, i.e., a mapping between robot actions, rob...
A simple and efficient randomized algorithm is presented for solving single-query path planning problems in high-dimensional configuration spaces. The method works by incrementall...
