This paper studies the force capability of a particular class of underactuated fingers. Force capability is defined as the ability to create an external wrench onto a fixed obj...
— In this paper, a novel design approach for the development of robot hands is presented. This approach, that can be considered alternative to the “classical” one, takes into...

— As people move through their environments, they do not move randomly. Instead, they are often engaged in typical motion patterns, related to specific locations they might be i...
We propose a systematic modelling of the nonholonomic mobile manipulators built from a robotic arm mounted on a wheeled mobile platform. It extends the fundamental notions of nonh...
This work describes the modeling and control of a proposed actuation system that is capable of pressurizing a chamber volume via the catalytic decomposition of a liquid monopropel...

— Simultaneous Localisation And Mapping (SLAM) is a stochastic map building method which permits consistent robot navigation without requiring an a priori map. The map is built i...
- In this paper we describe the navigation and planning of the i-Fork system, a flexible AGV intended to operate in partially structured warehouses where frequent floor plant layou...
Ada is an entertainment exhibit that is able to interact with many people simultaneously, using a language of light and sound. “She” received 553,700 visitors over 5 months du...
