We present the development of and experiment with a robot system showing cognitive capabilities of children of three to four years. We focus on two topics: assembly by two hands a...
In a typical dextrous manipulation task, a goal configuration is reached through a sequence of continuous motions. Most often, a motion plan is computed offline and subsequently...
This paper investigates kinetic behavior of a planetary rover with attention to tire-soil traction mechanics and articulated body dynamics, and thereby study the control when the ...
A panoramic image based localisation system has been implemented on a B21r mobile robot and tested in a heavily cluttered environment. It takes vertical object edges as natural la...
Flexure hinge has been commonly used as a substitute for mechanical joints in the design of micropositioning mechanisms. However, inaccurate modeling of flexure hinges deteriorates...
We present motion planning for dexterous manipulation by whole arm grasp system based on switching contact modes. Motion planning for such a system should consider changing dynami...
As a general framework to determine a collision-free feedback motion strategies, the Random Neighborhood Graph (RNG) approach [19] defines a global navigation function over an ap...
