— A numerical simulation of the magnetic field in the imaging volume of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner and a method for quick searches for electromagnetic noise sour...
— We investigate a technique that uses an embedded network deployed pervasively throughout an environment to aid robots in navigation. First, we show that the path computed by th...

Abstract— This paper presents a framework for the dynamical formulation and control of humanoid systems. In this framework unactuated virtual joints are used to describe the huma...
- In this article, a set membership (SM) identification technique is tailored to detect faults in microelectromechanical systems. The SM-identifier estimates an orthotope which con...
— The dangerous and time sensitive nature of a disaster area makes it an ideal application for robotic exploration. Our long term goal is to enable humans, software agents, and a...
— This paper describes a grasp planning for a mobile manipulator which works in real environment. Mobile robot studies up to now that manipulate an object in real world practical...
- Autonomous space robots are needed for future missions such as satellite capture and large space structure construction. Precise control of these space robots is important for sp...
— This paper presents a new method for navigation and localization of a mobile robot equipped with an omnidirectional camera. We represent the environment using a collection of o...

— We characterize and improve an existing infrared relative localization/communication module used to find range and bearing between robots in small-scale multi-robot systems. M...
- In this paper, we propose a new tactile sensor skin (“Skin by Touch Area Receptor” or STAR). The skin consists of two components. One is a sensor element which detects a cont...
