This paper describes the process of bonding a MEMS (Micro-ElectroMechanical System) microgripper to the distal end of a robotic manipulator arm using a molten solder bonding techn...

– Robotic navigation and interaction frequently require that the shape and motion of external objects and events be observed. Many interesting events occur at mixed scales. Subtl...
Existing task allocation algorithms generally do not consider the effects of task interaction, such as interference, but instead assume that tasks are independent. That assumptio...
— We present a novel plane tracking algorithm based on the direct update of surface parameters from two stereo images. The plane tracking algorithm is posed as an optimization pr...
— We introduce a hierarchical variant of the probabilistic roadmap method for motion planning. By recursively refining an initially sparse sampling in neighborhoods of the C-obs...
— In this paper, we present an image-based robot incremental localization algorithm which uses a panoramic image-based map enhanced with depth from a laser range finder. The ima...
— Rigid body dynamics with contact constraints can be solved locally using linear complementarity techniques. However, these techniques do not impose the original constraints and...
