We present a novel box depalletizing system based on images acquired with a time of flight laser sensor mounted on the hand of the robot. Scanning the upper layer of the pallet y...
— Closed-loop, asymptotically stable walking motions are designed for a 5-link, planar bipedal robot model with one degree of underactuation. Parameter optimization is applied to...
We present motion planning for dexterous manipulation by whole arm grasp system based on switching contact modes. Motion planning for such a system should consider changing dynami...
