— Vision can be used as a sensor for measuring the position of a visual marker. When the displacement of the marker over the camera exposure time is significant, the obtained po...
— The paper presents a novel strategy that learns to associate a grasp to an unknown object/task. A hybrid approach combining empirical and analytical methods is proposed. The em...
— Tumbling is an exciting new area of robotic locomotion that takes advantage of ground-body interactions to achieve rich motions with minimal hardware complexity. The increased ...
— By combining a low-order model of forecast errors, the extended Kalman filter, and classical continuous optimization, we develop an integrated methodology for planning mobile ...
— We investigate the problem of a robot maximizing its long-term average rate of return on work. We present a means to obtain an estimate of the instantaneous rate of return when...
