— This paper presents a novel technique to align partial 3D reconstructions of the seabed acquired by a stereo camera mounted on an autonomous underwater vehicle. Vehicle localiz...
— It is expected that variation of leg compliance, that is determined not only by joint compliance but by joint angle, contributes to provide multi-modal locomotion such as walki...
— Grasping is a central issue of various robot applications, especially when unknown objects have to be manipulated by the system. In earlier work, we have shown the efficiency ...
— This article addresses the problem of autonomous map building and exploration of an unknown environment with mobile robots. The proposed method assumes that mobile robots use o...
— The design procedure for a totally decoupled XY flexure parallel kinematic manipulator is presented in this paper. The designed XY stage is featured with flexure hinges and a...
