—This paper discusses a method to identify dynamic parameters in a rigid-link flexible-joint robot model using motion capture. The procedure is divided into two parts. First, the...
Abstract— This paper presents a learning-enhanced marketbased task allocation approach for oversubscribed domains. In oversubscribed domains all tasks cannot be completed within ...

Abstract— The goal of developing algorithms for programming robots by demonstration is to create an easy way of programming robots that can be accomplished by everyone. When a de...
— Human walking emerges from synergy of whole body dynamics: not only legs, but also a torso, arms, and a head are compliantly connected with each other by antagonistic muscles. ...
— For humanoid robots to fully realize their biped potential in a three-dimensional world and step over, around or onto obstacles such as stairs, appropriate and efficient appro...

— In this paper we present algorithms that enable precise trajectory control of NIMS3D, an underconstrained, three-dimensional cabled robot intended for use in actuated sensing. ...

— This paper presents a balance controller that allows a humanoid to recover from large disturbances and still maintain an upright posture. Balance is achieved by integral contro...
— This work aims at improving real-time motion control and dead-reckoning of wheeled skid-steer vehicles by considering the effects of slippage, but without introducing the compl...
— Lie group symmetry in a mechanical system can lead to a dimensional reduction in its dynamical equations. Typically, the symmetries that one exploits are intrinsic to the mecha...
— Endoscopic imaging is still dominated by the paradigm of pushing long sticks into small openings. This approach has a number of limitations for minimal access surgery, such as ...
