— We present a new approach to path planning for flexible wires. We introduce a method for computing stable configurations of a wire subject to manipulation constraints. These ...
— When industrial robot arms are controlled using sensor data the performance is dependent on the sensor sampling rate, on delays in signal processing, and on the robot dynamics....
- Polychaete annelid worms provide a biological paradigm of versatile locomotion and effective motion control, adaptable to a large variety of unstructured environmental conditions...

— The recent progress in robot mapping (or SLAM) algorithms has focused on estimating either point features (such as landmarks) or grid-based representations. Both of these repre...
— Omnidirectional cameras offer a much wider field of view than the perspective ones and alleviate the problems due to occlusions. However, both types of cameras suffer from the...

— Deformable object tracking is used in many robotics applications including biomanipulation, vision-based force sensing, and the control of deformable structures. A tracking alg...
— The self-propelled swimming performance of two prototypes designed to mimic the kinematics of real fish swimming at high Reynolds numbers is presented. The design methodology ...
