— This paper proposes a computational method of contact forces working between multibody system and environment in forward dynamics based on both the microbody-deformation model ...
Abstract— This paper deals with the in-depth kinematic analysis of a special parallel wrist, called the Agile Eye. The Agile Eye is a three-legged spherical parallel robot with r...
— In this paper, we present a trajectory tracking control algorithm for an autonomous motorcycle for the DARPA Grand Challenge. The mathematical dynamic model of the autonomous m...

— Research on robotic manipulation has mainly focused on manipulating rigid objects so far. However, many important application domains require manipulating deformable objects, e...
Abstract— We present the design and realization of a conformable tactile sensor skin(patent pending). The skin is organized as a network of self-contained modules consisting of t...
— This paper describes a 3D SLAM system using information from an actuated laser scanner and camera installed on a mobile robot.The laser samples the local geometry of the enviro...
— A novel design of a mobile parallel manipulator (MPM), which is composed by a multi-degree of freedom (DOF) parallel robot and an autonomous wheeled mobile platform, is propose...
— In this paper we consider a single hand-held camera performing SLAM at video rate with generic 6DOF motion. The aim is to optimise both the localisation of the sensor and build...
