— This article presents a control architecture for controlling the locomotion of an amphibious snake/lamprey robot capable of swimming and serpentine locomotion. The control arch...
— Outside of the laboratory, accurate models of ground impact dynamics are either difficult or impossible to obtain. Instead, a rigid ground model is often used in gait and cont...

— We present a novel approach to mobile robot navigation that enables navigation in outdoor environments without GPS. The approach uses a path planner that calculates optimal pat...
— We have developed a new communication robot, Robopal, which is an indoor/outdoor robot for use in humanrobot interaction research in the context of daily life. Robopal’s inte...

— Control of wheeled vehicles is a difficult problem due to nonholonomic constraints. This problem is compounded by sensor limitations. A previously developed control scheme for...
— This paper explores the planning and control of a manipulation task accomplished in conditions of high uncertainty. Statistical techniques, like particle filters, provide a fr...

— Localization for low cost humanoid or animal-like personal robots has to rely on cheap sensors and has to be robust to user manipulations of the robot. We present a visual loca...
—Accurate models of the feel of physical objects are essential to improving the realism of haptic simulations. This paper presents a method for automatically obtaining experiment...
