— We present the concept of an “intelligent” joystick, an architecture which provides simple and intuitive high-level directional control of a legged robot while adjusting th...

— Fault diagnosis of coupled mobile robots requires a large number of measurements to be communicated either between the robots or from the robots to a central diagnoser. As comp...

- Metabolic studies have shown that there is a metabolic cost associated with carrying load [1]. Several leg exoskeletons have been developed by various groups in an attempt to aug...

— We present an efficient, anytime method for path planning in dynamic environments. Current approaches to planning in such domains either assume that the environment is static ...
— This paper presents an approach to implement virtual fixtures for surgical robot assistants. Our approach uses a weighted, multi-objective (both linear and nonlinear) constrai...
— In this paper, we study the problem of localization using relative-state estimates. It is shown, that when the same exteroceptive sensor measurement is processed for the comput...
—This paper presents a molecular mechanics study using a molecular dynamics software (NAMD) for characterization of molecular elastic joints for bio nanorobotic prototyping. Simp...

— We address the problem of modeling and controlling a swarm of fully actuated point-like robots in three dimensions by generalizing the planar framework from [1]. We define a e...
— This paper provides that an elastic force and an elastic potential energy due to the deformation of soft fingers, which are previously derived, can be calculated into straight...
