In this paper, we study the problem of large force/torque application using robotic systems with limited force/torque actuators. For such systems, the available workspace may be s...
This paper explores the possibility of using Sun altitude for localization of a robot in totally unknown territory. A set of Sun altitudes is obtained by processing a sequence of ...
Shape memory alloy (SMA) based actuators have a number of attributes which make them useful for robotic applications. Unfortunately their response is relatively slow, being limite...
This paper examines the stability of the exible-object impedance controller when coupled to an arbitrary passive environment. A simple representative system is developed to study ...
An implementation of a biped robot which as capable of dynamic walking by a simple nonlinear control algorithm. is presented. Four D.C. servo motors actuate the knee and ankle joi...
