— Classical visual servoing approaches tend to constrain all degrees of freedom (DOF) of the robot during the execution of a task. In this article a new approach is proposed. The...
Abstract— The latest technological progress in sensors, actuators and energy storage devices enables the developments of miniature VTOL1 systems. In this paper we present the res...
— Many medical procedures involve the use of needles, but targeting accuracy can be limited due to obstacles in the needle’s path, shifts in target position caused by tissue de...

Abstract— Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) challenges the surgeon’s skills due to his separation from the operation area which can only be reached with long instruments. To ove...
— We report on progress toward a continuous time full 6 DOF translational body state estimator for a hexapod robot executing a jogging gait (with 4 consecutive phases: tripod sta...
