In this paper, a neural network controller for constrained robot manipulators is presented. A feedforward neural network is used to adaptively compensate for the uncertainties in ...
A mapmaking robot integrates accumulated sensor data into a data structure that can be used for future localization or planning operations. Localization is the process of determin...
We present techniques for fast motion planning by using discrete approximations of generalized Voronoi diagrams, computed with graphics hardware. Approaches based on this diagram ...

A locking, unactuated knee is added to the Scout II quadruped robot and trotting gaits are studied. The mechanical design of the knee is presented, trotting algorithms are discuss...
We have proposed the practical torque sensqng which utilizes a flexible part of a harmonic drive gear. The sensing technique providesjoint torque sensing without reducing stiffnes...
