In this paper we present a macroscopic model for the analysis of homogeneous task-directed multi-robot systems (MRS). The model is used to compute the probability that a given MRS ...
This paper presents a new four-limbed robot, LEMUR IIb (Legged Excursion Mechanical Utility Rover), that can free-climb vertical rock surfaces. This robot was designed to have a nu...

In this work we address the problem of controlling a ground robot based on aerial image feedback in real time. We present an analysis of the relationship between a robot’s ground...
This paper presents a new teleoperation scheme for mobile manipulation systems. A virtual spring connects a master and slave system where local force feedback on the slave system c...
This paper presents the design of a selective-actuation flexure parallel mechanism that can provide three independent translational motions. The mechanism can be used as an ultra p...
We consider multi-robot systems that include sensor nodes and aerial or ground robots networked together. Such networks are suitable for tasks such as large-scale environmental mon...

A virtual fence is created by applying an aversive stimulus to an animal when it approaches a predefined boundary. It is implemented by a small animal-borne computer system with a...

A descriptor is presented for characterizing local image patches in a scale invariant manner. The descriptor is biologicallyplausible in that the necessary computations are simple ...
