— Robots typically have many sensors which are underutilized. This is usually because no simple mathematical models of the sensors have been developed or the sensors are too nois...
We are developing a network architecture for our novel robot concept of wearable robot. Wearable robots are mobile information devices capable of supporting remote communication a...
— This paper addresses the problem of motion planning for free-flying robots. Full state actuation is considered to allow for large displacements of the spacecraft. Motion plann...
Up to recently autonomous mobile robots were mostly designed to run within an indoor, yet partly structured and flat, environment. In rough terrain many problems arise and positio...
− A novel computer input system - the Micro Input Devices System (MIDS) – is under development by merging MEMS sensors and existing wireless technologies. This system could pot...

— Particle filters have recently been applied with great success to mobile robot localization. This success is mostly due to their simplicity and their ability to represent arbi...
From 1970’s, legged robots have attracted much attention of many researchers. In spite of this, it has been regarded that dynamically stable walking is very difficult to be tac...
We present an online algorithm for planning sequences of footstep locations that encode goal-directed navigation strategies for humanoid robots. Planning footsteps is more general...

- The subject of this paper is a hybrid hip biped climbing robot. The hybrid hip provides both prismatic and revolute motion, discretely, to the robot, using a single actuator. Thi...
