— Facing new tasks, the conventional rigid design of robotic joints has come to its limits. Operating in unknown environments current robots are prone to failure when hitting unf...
The ability to generate discrete movement with distinct and stable time courses is important for interaction scenarios both between different robots and with human partners, for ca...
