— Mechanisms utilizing rigid links and relatively small flexural joints are very suitable for fabrication at the meso scale. The Micromechanical Flying Insect (MFI) project at U...
— In this paper, we consider the problem of robot motion planning in order to satisfy formulas expressible in temporal logics. Temporal logics naturally express traditional robot...

– The design of a free piston compressor (FPC) intended as a pneumatic power supply for pneumatically actuated autonomous robots is presented in this paper. The FPC is a proposed...
— This paper presents a metric-based matching algorithm to estimate the robot planar displacement by matching dense two-dimensional range scans. The contribution is a geometric d...
— Recent development of information technology is making electric household appliances computerized and networked. If the environments surrounding us could recognize our activiti...
— We present a method for computing controllers for stable planar-biped walking gaits that follow a particular style. The desired style is specified with a kinematic target traj...
— This paper proposes a new contact deformation model between a hemispherical soft fingertip and an object. First, we develop our proposed contact model, in which an elastic pot...
Abstract— In this paper, we explore the problem of threedimensional motion planning in highly cluttered and unstructured outdoor environments. Because accurate sensing and modeli...
— Rendering a stiff virtual wall remains a core challenge in the field of haptics. A passivity study of this problem is presented, which relates the maximum achievable wall stif...
– We developed a real-time controller for a 2 degree-of-freedom robotic system using xPC Target. This system was used to investigate how different methods of performance error fe...
