This paper presents a novel approach to on-line, robotmotion planning for moving-object interception. A hybrid scheme, which combines a navigation-based technique with a conventio...

Important robotic tasks could be most effectively done by powerful and accurate manipulators. However, high accuracy is generally unattainable in manipulators capable of producing...

Previous grasp quality research is mainly theoretical, and has assumed that contact types and positions are given, in order to preserve the generality of the proposed quality meas...
We present a novel approach we call partitioning where the robot's degrees- of-freedom (D OF) are categorized into two classes based on joint kinematics and dynamics to desig...
There has been an increasing interest in developing computational theories of autonomous robots. However the previous work has focused on intelligent modifications to internal com...
This paper describes a mobile manipulator that uses its wheels for manipulation as well as locomotion. This robot, named the mobipulator, looks like a small car with four independ...

In this paper, we describe a modular software that allows fast development of eye-in-hand image-based visual servoing applications (ViSP states for "Visual Servoing Platform&...
This paper describes a robotic manipulation primitive called toppling--knocking a part over. We derive the mechanical conditions for toppling, express these as constraints on robo...
Inventory plays a major role in deciding the overall manufacturing costs, and a good scheduling system should balance the on-time delivery of products versus low work-in-process (W...
