This talk will review the progress and the evolution of the development of range sensing techniques at the NRC laboratories. Essentially a 3 0 imaging project at the beginning, it...
We describe a novel system for robotic measurement of contact sounds. This system is well suited for acquiring impulse-response sound models. A brief explanation of the sound mode...
We describe the design and testing of a robotic system to assist locomotion training of spinal-injured rodents. The goal of the system is to control and quantify spatialtemporal p...

This paper describes a new collision detection algorithm designed for interactive manipulation in virtual environments. Making some assumptions on objects motion, the collision ti...
Robotic grasps exhibiting visco-elastic contact interactions with the manipulated object are considered. Control of internalforces is investigated. Thepresence of nonnegligible co...
This paper describes a fast technique for modifying motion sequences for complex articulated mechanisms in a way that preserves physical properties of the motion. This technique i...
We describe a framework for derivation of several forward dynamics algorithms used in robotics. The framework is based on formulating an augmented system and performing block matr...
We have constructed an autonomous quadruped, Scout II, which features only a hip actuator and a passive compliant prismatic joint per leg. In this paper we demonstrate in simulati...
