—We present new results on reconstruction of the shape and motion of an unknown object using tactile sensors without requiring objectimmobilization. Arobotmanipulatestheobjectwit...
This paper describes how a table tennis robot with a fiat paddle coordinates its movement in order to achieve efficient strokes for any given ball. We propose a method of generati...
Design, control, and performance of a ball-throwing robot are examined in this paper. The objective of this project is to provide an interactive ball-throwing robotic arm for illu...
An automated tether system has been developed for the purpose of improving the efficiency of micro-gravity activities of fully suited astronauts. System features include gripping ...

We address the problem of applying reactive navigation methods to non-holonomic robots. Rather than embedding the motion constraints when designing a navigation method, we propose...
The principal deficiency of image-based visual servoing is that the induced (3D) trajectories are not optimal and sometimes, especially when the displacement to realize is large,...

A device that could locomote through curving and tortuous spaces would find many applications in medicine and in industry. Invertebrates such as earthworms and leeches can solve t...
