A patent pending, energy based, method is presented for controlling a haptic interface system to ensure stable contract under a wide variety of operating conditions. System stabil...
Abstract--The key to utilizing the potential of multirobot systems is cooperation. How can we achieve cooperation in systems composed of failure-prone autonomous robots operating i...
Abstract-- Vision feedback control loop techniques are efficient for a large class of applications but they come up against difficulties when the initial and desired robot position...
Parallel and distributed computing infrastructure are increasingly being embraced in the context of manufacturing applications, including real-time scheduling. In this paper, we pr...
Abstract-- This work studies a class of hybrid mechanical systems that locomote by switching between constraints defining different dynamic regimes. We develop a geometric framewor...
