— This paper presents a motion pattern generator of humanoid robots that walks on a flat plane, steps and a rough terrain. It is guaranteed rigorously that the desired contact b...
— Recent advances in machine learning and adaptive motor control have enabled efficient techniques for online learning of stationary plant dynamics and it’s use for robust pre...
— This paper presents a novel whole body motion estimation method by fitting a deformable articulated model of the human body into the 3D reconstructed volume obtained from mult...
Abstract— We describe an interaction paradigm for controlling a robot using hand gestures. In particular, we are interested in the control of an underwater robot by an onsite hum...
— In this paper, we present a physical implementation of Random Peer-to-Peer (RP2P) communication for use in a multiple-robot system and analyze its performance. Traditionally, m...
— The present paper introduces an evaluation of the manipulation performance of a robotic arm with respect to control accuracy and mechanical efficiency, taking into considerati...
Abstract— Intelligently utilizing the frictional contact between a robot and its environment can prevent slip, maintain balance, and provide stability during a robot’s motion. ...
— In this paper we propose a systematic way of incorporating human inputs in navigation plans. The proposed controller is based on a new class of navigation function based contro...
— We develop decentralized controllers for a team of disk-shaped robots to converge to and circulate along the boundary of a desired two-dimensional geometric pattern specified ...
