A new robot hand dynamics model with rolling constraints and with a saddle joint at one finger is proposed, where two saddle-joint actuations are considered to be orderless. Spinni...
Ball dribbling is a central element of basketball and one main challenge for realizing basketball robots is to achieve the stability of the periodic dribbling task. In this paper t...

In previous studies on 4-DOF parallel mechanisms with four sub-chains, only symmetric arrangement of those four chains connected to the top plate was considered. Such symmetric sha...
We present a technique for high-dynamic range stereo for outdoor mobile robot applications. Stereo pairs are captured at a number of different exposures (exposure bracketing), and ...
Abstract-- In this paper, we consider the problem of mobile robots navigating in environments with non-rigid objects. Whereas robots can plan their paths more effectively when they...

We aim at merging technologies from information technology, roomware, and robotics in order to design adaptive and intelligent furniture. This paper presents design principles for ...
Abstract-- Existing high-dimensional motion planning algorithms are simultaneously overpowered and underpowered. In domains sparsely populated by obstacles, the heuristics used by ...

The Harvard Microrobotics Lab has previously demonstrated the world's first at-scale robotic insect capable of vertical takeoff with external power. Both of the robot's w...

Visual search is a common daily human activity and a prerequisite to the interaction with objects encountered in cluttered environments. Humanoid robots that are supposed to take p...
