—Consider the problem of a robot (learning mechanism or algorithm) attempting to locate a point on a line. The mechanism interacts with a random environment which essentially inf...
Abstract--Acquisition of new sensorimotor knowledge by imitation is a promising paradigm for robot learning. To be effective, action learning should not be limited to direct replic...
This paper describes a method for providing in real time a reliable synchronization signal for cyclical motions such as steady-state walking. The approach consists in estimating on...
—Though the final goal of mobile robot navigation is to be autonomous, operators’ intelligent and skillful decisions are necessary when there are many scattered obstacles. Ther...
Many future applications of robotic systems will require manipulators to operate from moving vehicles. Such vehicles will be compliant in comparison to the rigid bases on which mo...
